=== Related Projects ===
I've been working hard to try to expand the English Wikipedia's coverage of French last names, especially those [[Most_common_surnames_by_country#Quebec|ranked as among the most common in Quebec]] (e.g. [[Tremblay]], [[Landry]], [[Morin]]).

I added or edited several pages related to [[oilpatch]] occupations: [[Oiler]], [[Roughneck]], [[Motorman]], etc.

I've been trying hard to eliminated nationalist wanking on the [[emerging superpower]]s pages, [[China as an emerging superpower|China]], [[India as an emerging superpower|India]], and the [[ European Union as an emerging superpower|EU]].

I've also spent entirely too much time makign sure all our famous Ukrainian Canadians are in that proper category.

Speaking of mis-used time, I'm been giving time and place categories for a lot of Canadian businesses.

Lately I've expanded my last-names efforts into Ukrainian names like [[Andreychuk]], [[Fedoruk]], and [[Tkachuk]].

I've created and populated serval sub-cats for [[:Category:Edmonton, Alberta]], and [[:Category:Alberta]] such as [[:Category:Companies based in Edmonton]], [[:Category:Buildings and structures in Edmonton]] and [[:Category:Festivals in Alberta]].

Also, I've tried to work on articles related to Ukrainian cuisine, like [[borshch]], [[blini]], [[kovbasa]], etc. And on the [[Twelve-dish Christmas Eve supper]]. And on Quebec and Canadian cuisine, like [[butter tarts]] and [[sugar pie]]s.

== NB ==
'''REMEMBER''': (notes to myself)
* Don't get bogged down doing mantiance tasks for hours! (especially categorizing things!)
* Do your homework '''first''', ''then'' write articles about it.
* Edit it for fun and to achieve something, not just to waste time.
