Articles on Rape[edit]
You mentioned that you were interested in improving articles on rape in Wikipedia. Two articles that have improved significantly are Pregnancy from rape and Rape and pregnancy controversies in United States elections, 2012. I think they both have the potential to go to WP:FA. I just mention this, because you might be interested.Casprings (talk) 02:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Did you realize that ...[edit]
About 40% of Wikipedia's article on BP (British Petroleum) was written by a BP employee, and the the source of this text is not disclosed to our readers? BP was also the source of the horrific Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It recently pleaded guilty to lying to Congress and to lying to its own investors, but those facts are not included in the article, nor is there anything in the article about BP misleading our readers.

ORCID[edit]
As the author of journal articles, not to mention a Wikipedia contributor, you might like to register (free, at http://orcid.org/register ) for an Open Researcher and Contributor IDentifier (ORCID). It's like an ISSN or DOI, but for people, to differentiate you from other people with similar names; and unite papers which appear under different variants of your name. Once you have one, it can be displayed on your user page, and the article about you, using {{Authority control}}. This invitation is open to all Wikipedia editors.
