In regards to Wikipedia I usually perform small, correction type edits, but my main goal on Wikipedia is to standardise the methods of Archiving, and to crack down on the rampant vandalism of the articles. I also do more major edits every once in a while, usually on music type articles.
As you may be able to guess I am currently rebuilding my User Page, the main addition being a new layout for the Main Page, with a complete rebuild of the main page existing here.
Andrea Navagero (1483–1529) was a Venetian diplomat and writer. He entered the Great Council of Venice at the age of twenty, five years younger than was normal at the time. He edited manuscripts at the Aldine Press, garnering a reputation as a scholar and a highly skilled writer. In 1515, he was appointed the official historian of the Republic of Venice as well as the caretaker of a library containing the collection of the scholar Bessarion. Navagero was named the Venetian ambassador to Spain in 1523 and navigated the volatile diplomatic climate caused by the conflict between Charles V of Spain and Francis I of France. By the time Navagero arrived back in Venice in 1528, he had grown disillusioned with politics and wished to return to editing manuscripts and cultivating his prized gardens. Much to his dismay, he was appointed ambassador to France in January 1529. After traveling to meet with Francis I, he fell ill and died that May. (Full article...)

For That Which Does Not Fit Into The Pages Above, It Will Have To Go Right Here
Quick Note
Just a quick note for those of you brave enough to make it to the bottom. This page is designed for a 1680x1050 flat panel monitor. Why? Well, because that's what I use and this page is my tool box, not yours. I have set up my own copy of the Main Page (with everything, not just the main five boxes) here because I hole-heartadly disagree with one fundimental element of the page, which will become obvious when you head over to the page. I set up a redirect on the Talk Page to go to the actual main page for my own conveniance, if you want to say something on my Main Page Talk Page, please do so on my Talk Page.
Today's featured picture
The Australian white ibis (Threskiornis molucca) is a wading bird of the ibis family, Threskiornithidae. It is widespread across much of Australia, and has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long downcurved bill, and black legs. While it is closely related to the African sacred ibis, the Australian white ibis is a native Australian bird. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as "tip turkey" and "bin chicken". This Australian white ibis was photographed at the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney.
