I'm interested in biographies, amongst one or two other things.
UK Nobility
[edit]I started editing by tidying up articles which refer to people with UK peerages. Through a test case, I've established that while titles are notable, a title of itself does not convey notability (WP:GNG) on each individual holding it. Biographical details of title holders should therefore be at the relevant article for the title, with an additional article created only where the individual is otherwise notable. Reasons for individual notability are at WP:GNG but include being a member of the UK's House of Lords. I have laid out the situation in more detail at earl of Caledon Talk page and related pages. This ensures both that the article about each title has easily accessible biographical information upon it, articles about titles are not distorted by too-large entires about otherwise notable individuals (like, say, 1st Duke of Wellington) and articles which do not conform to WP:GNG are deleted and merged with the main title article. Happy to correspond on this subject. Emmentalist (talk) 15:28, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Biography
[edit]I have mainly been editing biographical articles , although also edit around some countries whose present nature presents some interesting challenges around the language and context of their respective Wikipedia articles.
