Nowadays I mostly copyedit random pages. I am also a Ro-bot who removes Incorrect or Unnecessary Capital Letters like These. Some people think that the names of currencies are properly capitalised. Why is this? Probably because they often sound like proper nouns: franc, for example, or mark - although those two have now vacated the scene in favour of the euro.
Articles/stubs I started/may one day start: Canis Major, Ceres, Orion Nebula; Back-chaining, Catalog of artworks known in English by a foreign title (replete with red links), English alphabet, English homophones, English phonemes, Italian, Minimal pair, Spelling pronunciation; A, B, D, E, F, G, GH, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z; Bob Dylan, Domenico Scarlatti, Frederick Delius, Jean Sibelius, Kraftwerk, Leevi Madetoja, Ludwig van Beethoven, Miles Davis, Nico; Cover version, Rock music; Ivy Compton-Burnett, Marcel Proust; Cyprus, Malta; Alan Odle, Arab, CDT, En passant (chess), Leitão assado à Bairrada, Universal Time; CZ:What's Your Message?: World Alphabetical Time

Robert Thorpe, born in London in 1950, living in Esposende, Portugal. I have a degree in English from Peterhouse, Cambridge. For many years I worked as a teacher of the language, in Mâcon, France (at a lycée agricole); Mondovì, Italy; Beckenham, England; and finally in various locations in Portugal, where my wife is a primary school teacher. I can translate from the relevant languages as well as from German and Latin.
I came across Citizendium when I looked in Wikipedia for the latter's history. There, I still do copyediting, and I have created a number of articles, including the 'replete with links' list above.
