User:Harmil
Welcome to Harmil's home on Wikipedia. I've been working on a varied list of things. Feel free to look around and leave a message on my talk page if you want to communicate.
Pages I've created
Here is a short list of the pages I'm most proud of:
- Perl 6 rules
- Lovecraftian horror
- Round Hill, Massachusetts
- Waldo K. Lyon
And here is the full list:

Disputes
If something is currently contested, I try to avoid edit warring. Rather, I bring those items here to see how they play out over time, and allow other editors to look in and contribute:
- reversion to Magic_item (disambiguation) - An editor seems to have strong opinions that "see also" sections don't belong on disambiguation pages... or that Artifact (a disambiguation page) should not appear on this particular dab's See also. I've backed off for a bit to see if he improves the disambiguation any, and/or provides some access to the extended information.
Referencing
A number of articles have required extensive citations, rather than any structural changes:
Ongoing or completed projects
In some cases, these projects are still ongoing, but significant portions have been accomplished.
- Previous 500 patrol: I review some of the newest articles starting from the 500th most recent. This helps to catch some of the items that the typical RC-patroler might have missed.
- Historical information regarding New Bedford, Massachusetts and University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
- An overhaul of Drought with respect to historical droughts.
- Work related to the List of Native American Tribal Entitiesstill rages on:
- Created both lists, and auto-generated links to tribal names.
- Creating new articles (such as Native Village of Afognak) to complete coverage of the lists.
- Helping to resolve dispute over Native Americans renaming
- Wrote a new, simpler example version of The Aristocrats joke.
- Addition of the history of Western performing arts to Performing arts.
- Citation projects:
- Greyhawk
- Lovecraftian horror [5]
- List of deities of Dungeons & Dragons [6]
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Greyhawk - The quest to bring as much detail about Greyhawk(both fictional and historical) as possible.
- Overhaul of Dynamic programming language.
Off-Wiki
When I'm not working here, I do things like this d20 treasure generator for the d20 System and other gaming related fun. Or working on my own MediaWiki site.
I also contribute to the
Conservapedia
I contribute to Conservapedia (http://www.conservapedia.com) for now, in an attempt to see if the folks running it are truly interested in being encyclopedic. I welcome you to join me in contributing to it in good faith.
That said, comments like this one (that was left on my Conservapedia talk page) make me wonder how it could all turn out to be anything but the Fox News of online encyclopedias:
“ | I know that other sources are much more scholarly in normal use, and after review, I realize that your edits to Atheism were quite well done. However, for future reference, if the Bible sheds any light on any subject, it should be included first, and be considered authoritative. I don't agree with it, but it's the rule. | ” |
Dumpster diving
These are articles I've saved (or am trying to save) from the
Pending
I am no longer working on the AFD/VFD process. It just got too political and too many people were complaining that any time spent on such articles was a waste of time.

None so far, knock on wood....

Real world
Harmil is Aaron Sherman <[email protected]> and has a Wikia Search page.
Harmil finds the phrase, "contemporary hit-driven Dance music product," amusing.
Harmil also finds this edit to be the funniest edit ever.
Gaming
I try to maintain several sets of articles related to gaming where I consider my gaming hobbies to be specifically notable. Here are some areas in which I think that's true:
