I bounce around projects a lot, but some things I've stuck with for longer than most include answeringCOI edit requests,AfC reviewing,recent change patrolling,new page patrol (mostly redirects) and closingredirect discussions, and addingshort descriptions. On the content end, I've worked on decrufting and improving the sourcing ondog breed articles, writing articles on (perhaps surprisingly!) notablefandom topics, andexpanding small mammal stubs. You can see mybarnstars and assorted shines at the linked page.
If I get something wrong or there's something you think I could do better, please let me know! I actively want feedback, even if it's below the level where you'd normally raise a complaint with someone. Andfeel free to ping me or drop a note on my talk page if I haven't replied to something for more than two days, I can be absent-minded and things drop off my radar pretty often.
My personal reference page for various tools I use, pages I refer to often, and so is atUser:Rusalkii/Workbench. You might find something useful there as well (did you know that you can create a bookmarklet to automatically access theTWL version of an article or book? I didn't until I'd been editing for over five years.)
User:Rusalkiii is me, for when I want to look at the interface with fresh eyes.User:Rusalki is, unfortunately, not me.

...you canleave me a message if you have any questions. However, you may get a faster response askingat the Teahouse or at theAfC help desk. You may also want to look atmy notes on AfC sources, which address common issues with AfC drafts.
Note that to be fair to all submitters I do not review drafts on request. If it's taking a long time to get to your draft, please be patient. We typically have a long backlog and all reviewers are doing this for free in their spare time.
...feel free to ping me for followup questions or further requests, butreviewing one of your requests doesn't mean I'm going to continue reviewing all followups. In some cases I may also review only part of a request (usually the straightforward one). In that case I try to make it clear that I will not necessarily get back to it but sometimes forget, sorry!Other editors should always feel free to jump in on "my" reviews.
Unfortunately there is often a long wait especially for long, complicated, or controversial requests - please remember that we are all volunteers doing this in our spare time. To increase the chance of a fast review, I recommend splitting your request into small pieces, submitting potentially controversial, promotional or otherwise difficult to check requests separately from simple updates and corrections, formatting your requests with before and after diffs, and citing every change. You may also want to take a look at thesimple conflict of interest edit request info page and aguide to effective COI edit requests.
There are currently205 requests inCategory:Wikipedia conflict of interest edit requests.
