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: on the old 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.

Systemic bias

I signed up with the 'systemic bias' project here; years later, systemic bias is still an issue for WP. These days I interpret the commitment as going to work in any unpopular area.

Mentalities
