Currently working on

Random WikiProject Algae pages

• Commonly patrol the cleanup listings for the project
• Otherwise I pick pages at my whimsy, trying to focus on improving Stub articles
• Also working on improving Chloroplast to Good article status (see discussion on the Talk page)

Updating the List of members of the National Academy of Sciences

• See my NAS_Scientists subpage for details on the project (and lots of red linked, definitely notable scientists)
• I started this project as a good "new to Wikipedia" project that I stumbled across, but as a certified achievement hunter, I'm committed now
• Also seems to be a good way to identify notable scientists that do not have pages yet

Future pages and projects

• Trichodesmium - pretty good tbh, but could use some clarification/more accurate descriptions in some places and expanding! Pretty important article!
• Rework diatom morphology section (also get to GA status if chloroplast rework goes well)
• Patrick Kociolek - BLP; phycologist and primarily a diatom taxonomist. I have pretty substantial WP:COI, so if I do write this article, it'll be quite a while down the road.
• Aquaculture of giant kelp - clean up and expand someday
• Watermelon snow and Snow algae - are these the same really? Will need to dig into and maybe expand more. Discussion in 2018 also suggested merge, but I do think there's a solid argument for separate pages.

Endosymbiosis Project

• I'd love to create a category for obligate endosymbionts (e.g. Buchnera aphidicola )

• Endosymbiont needs some major love. I would also like to consider a change to "endosymbiosis" to match the titles of Symbiosis and Ectosymbiosis.
• Chlorococcum amblystomatis
• Gloeomargarita - genus from which chloroplasts evolved I'm shocked this doesn't already exist (although Gloeomargarita lithophora does at least)
• chromatophore (endosymbiotic organelle) - not to be confused with chromatophore—pigmented cells in some animals—or chromatophore—the membrane associated vesicle in some bacteria. (This may just be a part of reworking the Chloroplast article, hence no red link)

Draft and WIP Articles

• none currently

Other Red Linked Scientists of Possible Notability

• Nellie Carter (or Carter-Montford) - deceased; British botanist - botanical garden ref; book 1, book 2, New or Interesting Algae from Brackish Water, JSTOR search
• Ellwood Cooper - deceased, American horticulturist/businessman - shocked he doesn't have a page yet. He's credited with bringing eucalyptus trees to California

Miscellaneous

• Useful Wikimedia Commons Figures
• a list of (some of) my favorite random pages
