Main userspace areas
- /New page area
- /Drafting area
- /Listings area: these are miscellaneous working lists - ask me on my user talk if you ever need to know more.
- /DNB area: the old Dictionary of National Biography is an immense resource for adding 'missing articles', now complete with the first two supplements on Wikisource. Here at Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography and also on Wikisource (s:User:Charles Matthews, s:Wikisource:WikiProject DNB). Under 7000 articles are now missing from enWP.
- /Your Paintings area: major project to connect the DNB to the BBC Your Paintings website. /Watercolours and /Wood engravers are listings to try to find other relevant artists.
- /Selected. I largely write historical biographies these days. This list is of a relatively small number of more general articles.

Meetups in Cambridge
- Wikipedia:Meetup/Cambridge 29 will take place on 28 November. Official page at m:Meetup/Cambridge/29.
Systemic bias
I signed up with the 'systemic bias' project here; it still seems likely, years later, that systemic bias will be a long term issue for WP. These days I mostly interpret the commitment as going to work in any unpopular area.
Mentalities
... the "official mind", dour and consistent as it generally was in each small thing, lacked a similar consistency in larger matters, (or, indeed, in attempting to generate policies applicable to a multitude of small things).[1]
