    WHAT I DO
    I do image restoration, taking an old image with flaws that make it unusable, and carefully fixing it back into a useful image. For example:
    BEFOREAFTER
    It requires careful work and attention to detail, and a willingness to spend a few hours removing individual dust spots with the healing brush, because you care about helping to share knowledge, and this is the best way to provide illustrations of that. My 749 restorations currently make up about 8.8% of allfeatured pictures on English Wikipedia, and you'd be surprised at just how much code I put in to keeping that as up to date as possible.


    Fun fact, by the way: See those empty borders on images? They are the absolute worst, because the slightest discolouration will be incredibly visible. On some images, I've spent three times the effort on the bits no-one pays attention to... unless you don't spend that effort.

    I've been working on a series of articles on how I research and restore images for theWikipedia Signpost. You can read the firsthere.

    These are not featured pictures yet. But should be. They are either currently being voted on or will be soon. Hopefully.


    Things either currently nominated, about to be nominated, or awaiting renomination

    [edit]

    May also include things about to be nominated, but only when there's a problem atWP:FPC (or they're only nearly done, but will be done in a day or two. This is wildly optimistic in most cases, and you should really not pay attention to anything I say about scheduling.)

    2025

    [edit]

    These 34

    restorations from the first 11 months of 2024 make up 0.398% of all featured pictures on English Wikipedia. My goal for the year is 1%, which currently requires 85.43 restorations. I am currently falling behind this goal, with a projected 0.44% (37.6) for the year. (Everything in this paragraph is automatically updated.)

    Things I gave up on passing FPC in 2022
    [edit]

    Good restorations, but not good enough source material. Check later, but...

    2021

    [edit]

    2021... was not a good year for many reasons, chief amongst them the fact that the pandemic, meant to end by Christmas 2020... failed to do so. But at least I managed a single featured picture before it all fell apart.

    2020

    [edit]

    These 52.5 restorations from 2020 make up 0.615% of all featured pictures on English Wikipedia.

    2019

    [edit]

    These 98.5 restorations from 2019 make up 1.153% of all featured pictures on English Wikipedia.

    2018

    [edit]

    These 8 restorations from the last two months of 2018 make up 0.094% of all featured pictures on English Wikipedia. 2018 concluded a long Wikibreak, with me only rejoining in late November, so this isn't too bad numberwise. And, hey, wrote the music to anopera as well.

    2017

    [edit]

    2017 had a long wikibreak in it, that I never really left for long....

    2016

    Faces of Progress

    Featured Sounds

    [edit]

    (List not complete by any means - I have 40% of all FSes, so I need to copy over a lot more =) )

    Gabriel Fauré'sFantasie (1898), performed circa 1976 by Alex Murray (flute) and Martha Goldstein (piano).
    Frog Legs Rag, a classicragtime piece byJames Scott. Performed on a synthesized piano by WikipedianAdam Cuerden in 2010 with technical assistance fromJujutacular.
    Zoltán Kodály'sDuo for violin and cello, Op. 7, performed by the U.S. Army Strings.
    Sergei Rachmaninoff wrote two sets ofÉtudes-Tableaux in 1911 (Op. 33) and 1917 (Op. 39); this recording is one of the pieces in the second, Opus 39 set. Conceived as "picture pieces", meant to evoke a visual scene, Rachmaninoff nonetheless declined to identify which scene he had in mind for most of the pieces, saying, "I don't believe in the artist that discloses too much of his images. Let [the listener] paint for themselves what it most suggests." Performed by Karine Gilanyan forMusopen.
