I prefer anonymity and random edits of pages I find interesting yet lacking in some small regard.

The IPAc-en template is great for those non-linguists among us who do not have the IPA alphabet memorized. It should be used wherever possible!

It's a shame that diacritical marks like ö, è, é are harder to reach on a keyboard.

I þink þorn (Þ þ) should be brought back to represent the voiceless dental fricative /θ/ ("thick," "thin" → "þick," "þin"), and eð (Ð ð) for the voiced dental fricative /ð/ ("this," "father" → "ðis," "faðer"). Insular g, Ᵹ ᵹ, might be worþ using to distinguish between hard (/ɡ/) and soft (/dʒ/) variants of the phoneme. All right, maybe not. I'm not completely crazy, ðough, so you won't find me advocating for a return of wynn (Ƿ ƿ) for /w/, or suggesting the ȝse of ȝogh (Ȝ ȝ) for /j/.

Ligatures like æ and œ are okay with me, too.

Someday I'll get around to working on this timeline of American cruiser classes: User:Dziban303/Timeline of cruisers of the United States Navy

I did a lot of maintenance on the GOES satellite articles.

I largely rewrote the article on MPAR, and I want to write an article on its successor radar, ATD. I uploaded some images of the installation of ATD:

• 
  Reverse angle. 76 square panels, each with 64 elements: 4864 antennas in total
