~~==Hiatus==~~

I am going on hiatus for the next couple weeks to pray about several things, including my participation in Conservapedia. It seems to me that this encyclopedia is a very, very long way from being comprehensive; and the small number of non-vandalizing users makes me think that it will not catch up for a long while. In addition, the several recent departures of prominent editors (e.g. [[User:Ksorenson]], [[User:MarkGall]], [[User:PatrickD]]) have caused me to rethink where this project seems to be going. Conservapedia has noble goals, but I am no longer sure that participating in it is the way God wants me to use my time.

~~I hope to reach a decision before Christmas, and I will (if possible) be back at least to explain it.~~

For a couple days, I listed here "Articles I've Significantly Edited" and "Articles I've Created or Expanded from Stubs". But, those lists quickly got out-of-date. So, I'm just listing some of my areas of interest:

+

* Science. Examples: [[Precession of the equinoxes]]; [[Kirchoff's current law]]; [[Pioneer anomaly]]

+

* Math. Examples: [[Derivative]]; [[Change of variables]]

+

* Law. Examples: [[Missouri v. Jenkins]]; [[United States v. Bailey]]

+

* History, especially American history. Examples: [[Simon bar-Kokhba]]; [[Crittenden Compromise]]; [[Treaty of Westphalia]]

+

* Adding helpful redirects and fixing poorly-organized articles
