Focus areas

• Improving and standardizing the deaths per month lists regarding 1990 – 2005:
  • Adding missing notable entries (semi-automated)
  • Adding references to entries (semi-automated)
  • Replacing some references by ones whose source is more durable/reliable, combatting WP:LINKROT (automated)
  • Correcting thousands of bio's and Wikidata items during this process.
  • Cleaning up the lists:
    • Reverting vandalism
    • Removing lesser figures from the list that are not (internationally) notable, f.i. (virtual) orphans.^[1]
    • Removing entries without corresponding enwiki articles: WP:REDLINKS
• Creating bio's for fantastically obscure historical and contemporary figures
• Adding photo's to articles of lesser known towns and villages I visited
• commons:User:Mill 1
• General fact-, spell- and grammar checking
• Other contributions
