When I first became active (2007) my most active area of academic work was in all types of mathematical models of cognition. I was on-and-off for years before reactivating with the community again in 2022, by which point my editing interest was much more toward fields I don't research.

I highly recommend all new and current academic Wikipedians shift to edit outside their fields if this has not already begun naturally, though I warn you that if you thought you struggled with citations when you know the field, you ain't seen nothing about editing yet.

• It is no exaggeration to say that I would rather see an article written with garbage sources and a good editor, than the reverse. [Source: My twist on Sash Petraske's quotation about ice and cocktails, as quoted in Solmonson & Solmonson (2014), The 12 Bottle Bar, p. 26.]
• I generally transcribe all English reduced vowels as schwa to emphasize their neutralness, though I have no strong feelings about it one way or the other.
• As an editor I greatly prefer using {{math}} to $$ tags, but from a UX perspective I don't know the technical debate well. A template that converted {{math}}'s syntax to TeX inside $$ is maybe feasible.
• Wikiphilosophy hasn't meant much since 2010-2012-ish when equilibrium standards of inclusion were pretty well agreed, but if you see me trashing your article I'm an "inclusionist-exclusionist" who wants to keep all they can salvage and dump all the junk (10YT is my policy of the month). The topic of the article sets the standards for rigor of sourcing, but regardless of standards, any statement directly attributed to a source must accurately reflect that source. I do a random spot-check of almost every article I read to see whether this might not be done in general, and the failure rate is disturbingly high, especially in political articles.

Universal legal citation template

Initial proposal at WProj Law (2022-07-03 ongoing)

• Subproject A: Cross-European legal citation template
  • Phase 1: Preliminary survey: Complete (2022-07 late.)
    • Notes: Electronic lookup quality, standards implementation, and public access spotty throughout EU. Once you hit the Caucuses, glhf.
  • Phase 2: Template implementation: Existing Euro law templates all updated (2022-07 end)
  • Phase 3: Unified European citation style research: In progress (notes in /DraftTemplate)
  • Phase 4: Begin unification (planning: will have to finish getting scope of each country's online accessibility and current encoding, as not all legal documents, that will be, have been given electronic identifiers)

Template scope:

• EU Law (2022-07 edits): {{CELEX}} * {{ECLI}} * {{OJEU}} * {{ELI}} * {{EUR-Lex link}}
• Europe local law (2022-07 redoc/update):

I don't want to make another page for this -- this is just to test sandbox stuff from an external page, and should be perfectly safe.
