Pages improved[edit]

I've also created some redirects and uploaded a lot of files that I can't show here. I've probably never made a bad edit.

To do[edit]

Dante[edit]

Translation room in Dante's House Museum [it]

Current drafts[edit]

Articles that should exist[edit]

FL saga[edit]

Goal: bring List of English translations of the Divine Comedy to featured status (previously submitted and withdrawn)

  • Add real introduction giving background on what the Divine Comedy is
  • Add "publisher" column to list (maybe)
  • minor stuff
    • Add citation for Ciardi note
    • Separate red links for Robert and Jean Hollander
    • Add "with time" to the end of the first paragraph
  • Remove or make articles for redlinks
  • Add photos to articles for translators where possible (probably not necessary, but a fun way to spend a couple evenings)
  • Actually submit it[3]
  • Convert "notes" column into prose section

A thought[edit]

I don't have the time rn, but it would be amazing to start a WikiProject Dante for improving the coverage of the writer in the English Wikipedia. Some general goals would be completing some of the tasks above, getting articles such as Dante Alighieri, Divine Comedy, and Inferno (Dante) to featured status, and expanding articles for various modern scholars and characters in the Comedy. (After all, "Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them...")

Philly[edit]

Statue of Frank Rizzo on May 30th, 2020

Current drafts[edit]

Places I could take photos of[edit]

Main page: Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Philadelphia

Articles that need expanding[edit]

Miscellaneous[edit]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Easily the most popular thing I've done on here, for better or worse
  2. ^ the most detailed source for Fletcher seems to be a paywalled scan of a NYT obituary, so this one is on hold for now
  3. ^ Idea: upload every public domain translation of the divine comedy to wikisource so people can more easily access and compare them side by side. Would this be possible? Desirable? Much to think about
