[edit] Windmills to be Jousted At (aka The Stuff I'm Working On)

Spore (video game) - ongoing development of this game means new/changing information in article until at least release. Right now it needs a lot of clean-up to remove duplications, add in-line references, keep information current, and to fight vandalism (sometimes well-meaning).
The Sims 2 - current game and new expansions are out pretty regular so requires updating as new info comes out and protection from vandalism.
Current events - regular patrol for NPOV, vandalism, and quality; also I Wikify where I think it's relevant.

[edit] Wishes and Speculations (aka The Stuff I Think I Might Do)

Community areas of Chicago - so far added some color copy to Irving Park and added internal links to Albany Park - which areas were independent towns before being incorporated into Chicago?
Fife - Needs some expansion, also other local Scottish villages could get some working on.
Shawnee Hill - did some formtting and added links and put on Shawnee disamgiguation page, needs more copy, maybe pics.
Robovski - wish I'd keep my own article as current as some of my projects ;)

[edit] Done

That is, articles that I have done what I can for. Generally, things that are in the done pile were items I just came across randomly that needed attention or personal interests. I really can't take credit for creating many articles, but I try to contribute where I can. Once I'm involved, I'm also watching the articles to ensure against vandalism and to keep abreast of the subject.
