The Book of Fixed Stars (Arabic: كتاب صور الكواكب kitāb suwar al-kawākib, literally The Book of the Shapes of Stars) is an astronomical text written by Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi) around 964. Following the Graeco-Arabic translation movement in the 9th century AD, the book was written in Arabic, the common language for scholars across the vast Islamic territories, although the author himself was Persian. It was an attempt to create a synthesis of the comprehensive star catalogue in Ptolemy's Almagest (books VII and VIII) with the indigenous Arabic astronomical traditions on the constellations (notably the Arabic constellation system of the Anwā'). The original manuscript no longer survives as an autograph, however, the Book of Stars has survived in later-made copies. This image from the book shows the constellation of Orion, in mirror image as if on a celestial globe, and is from a copy in the Bodleian Library dated to the 12th century AD.

Been here a while now, on and off. I mostly enjoy dealing with the technical aspects of Wikipedia, though I will of course add content when it is within my field of expertise. But mostly it's about improving the users experience, be it through disambiguation, visual improvements of drawings, or vandalism-cleanup.

Pages in need of attention

During my work on disambiguation or during general wikipedia browsing, I have found these pages that I want to give some attention. They'll be listed here so I don't forget about them before I have a large enough continous free time-block to do something about them. Once a page has been done, it will be removed from the list (ideally it should stay empty):

• Bad Company — Overlinked
• Eating Lamb (NOFX LP) — Should be merged with Heavy Petting Zoo, or possibly deleted
• Parallel robots — Will add conents and wikify (unless someone beats me to it)
• South Africa and weapons of mass destruction — Slightly overlinked
• Wimperg — Should this be in English Wikipedia?
• Adaptive control – Images need to be corrected
• List of moments of inertia — SVG images

Semi-adopted disambiguation pages

Having cleaned these out, I might as well visit them every now and then to nip new build-ups in the bud:

• Cell
• LP
