Most of the time, I lurk in the depths of Wikipedia as a WikiGnome, as a Spellchecker,Disambiguator, Random article cleanup-er and Monitor of articles written by a single editor. I also fix Vandalism when I see it (especially on my Watchlist), although I don't actively seek it out because there are too many good editors doing that already. I use various tools, including wikEd, Auto Wiki Browser, Twinkle and Auto Ed.
Recently, I have decided to start cleaning up some of the "...in popular culture" articles, which have become repositories of trival unorganised lists.
I sometimes make more substantial edits in the area of history (or random other things), but not very often. I would like to improve Wikipedia's coverage of the French Revolution, historical propaganda, and stereotypes of Native Americans, but I am normally too fickle to focus on one article for long amounts of time.
What have I done to Wikipedia?
