Projects To Be Done
- I have enough of a to-do list at work. Here, I'll just work on whatever grabs my short attention span.
Completed Projects
- Ensured that all cities, towns, villages, hamlets and CDPs in Westchester County are correctly designated in their respective articles. (The bot especially messed up by calling hamlets/CDPs towns.)
