Line 3:
As a retired [[Electrical engineering|Electrical]]/[[Telecommunications engineering|Telecom Engineer]] in [[Wellington]], [[New Zealand]], I may contribute to some items on telecommunications and electric (rail) locomotives, but so far I have mainly contributed to:
 
Transport: [[Trams in New Zealand]] (to split from Trams in Australasia). Most of the NZ part is about [[Christchurch]], so there is some filling in needed for other centres. Also [[Rail transport in Fiji]], done (including Trams).
 
Railways, some stubs (each with reference to a book about the line) about lines which were missing an article. Will do one about the [[NZR ED class|ED electric locomotive]] too as I used to see them in Wellington en route to school. Also [[Funicular]]s, private funiculars to add.
 
Military: The [[Second Boer War]] (Siege of Kimberley) and the [[Victoria Cross]], particularly the pages on New Zealand VC-winners and on the New Zealand (Land or Maori) Wars. Also [[Bletchley Park]] - the fascinating British codebreaking establishment.
Line 13:
From amendments and alterations to categories by country or year I have noticed that the nineties decade is nearly as populated as the two decades of the 21st century, and categories by year should usually go back to 1990 where possible (this will also cover all of the new ex-Soviet Union countries from 1990+) . Re country categories, the United States and the United Kingdom generally have the most articles, followed by Australia and Canada.. This follows of course from their size and their being English-speaking or largely English-speaking. Hence a category like [[:Category:Child sexual abuse]] with (2015) a country subcategory for the United Kingdom is asking for similar United States categories (which I have created).
 
I created new articles on [[James C. Marshall]] ((2015) and [[Kenneth Nichols]] (2007) about the first and second District Engineers of the [[Manhattan Engineer District]] as apart from [[Leslie Groves]] and [[Franklin Matthias]], engineers seem to have been overlooked for their contribution to the [[Manhattan Project]].
