About me
My primary offline interests are in linguistics and mathematics; I started out on Wikipedia doing a bit of work on various pages related to historical interactions between the Middle East/Central Asia and China. In general, to preserve neutrality and avoid introducing my own biases into articles, I increasingly try to avoid creating/editing articles touching on issues which affect me or groups of people I identify with. Cases where I haven't followed this policy have sometimes generated complaints (e.g. Lina Joy, Chinese people in Russia). As a result, I mostly edit articles related to Korea and Japan.
I'm a relative latecomer to Wikipedia; just started using it in late 2005, and have only really been actively editing since April 2006. My very first edit back in August 2005 was on Bunun people, an ethnic group of Taiwan; I added an external link to a news story.

* indicates articles saved from some deletion process (WP:CSD, WP:PROD, WP:AFD). I wouldn't really call myself an inclusionist, I just hang around Category:Candidates for speedy deletion because plenty of times, stuff gets listed there simply because it doesn't have much coverage in English; I like the challenge of trying to finding sources for stuff in languages I don't read very well.

Unreferenced articles to which I added citations
This section is for articles which were already of a decent length when I found them, but for which previous editors had not bothered to cite sources, or for which many assertions were not supported by the external links; basically, I found some sources and tried to match as many of the article's assertions as possible to statements in the sources. I'm a big fan of inline citations, and have become increasingly aggressive about reverting unsourced edits to articles which are otherwise well-sourced, and handing out {{uw-unsor1}}, etc. warnings to people who make such edits. My philosophy is that Reliable sources should be used for every fact you add to an article starting from the first edit, unless you want your article to be deleted; I look down on the complaints of people angry about their articles being put up for AfD "just minutes after creation".
Of course, I myself haven't always followed this policy strictly, most blatantly in the case of Down to the Countryside Movement or Japanese orphans in China, which I created and have been intending to fix for a while, but never really had the motivation.
The list:
Unsourced stubs to which I added sources (this requires much less effort than sourcing long articles, since there aren't as many assertions which need to be matched to sources or {{fact}}-tagged; the point is typically to demonstrate notability and save the article from deletion):
- Alexei Nikolaevich Speyer [12], Russian diplomat in Japan, Korea, Persia, etc.
- Andrei Lankov [13], Russian expert on North Korea
- Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi [14], a popular cheer
- Sigi Schwab [15], German guitarist
- Shiqi dialect [16], a dialect of Cantonese
- Shim Eun-Ha [17], South Korean actress
