I mostly edit articles related to religions of ancient Mesopotamia and other related cultures (the Hurrians, Ebla, Elam, Ugarit...) and Japan (mostly Heian and the middle ages). I rely on up to date research from specialists while editing. Reliance on dubious, outdated or conspiratorial sources evident in many mythology articles is puzzling. A "source" written a century ago is hardly a source given the low quality of research in that period, imagine trying to do the same in articles about paleontology or astronomy.
I hope that one day it will be possible to bring the articles of all Mesopotamian (and related) deities to an acceptable standard, so that they will only have to be updated with freshly published information, but for now this goal does not seem attainable.
Articles I worked on
[edit]In most cases "worked on" means "wrote from scratch" or "rewrote from scratch." Note that while I did contribute to the Inanna, Ereshkigal, Ashtart and Anat articles in the past, I do not vouch for their accuracy overall since due to their questionable modern reception it's hard to keep the pages in good shape. Check edit history to verify information, or just seek credible authors on your own.

To do
[edit]- Ongoing project: overhaul of List of Mesopotamian deities
- ANE deity pages to create: Upurkubak, Kalkal, Ḫadaniš, Aḫlamayītu, Kuwannaniya
- Mesopotamian deity pages in need of overhaul: Lamma, Hadad (to be split into multiple articles if possible?), Enlil, Sharur, Mummu (entire article is armchair linguistics plus WP:AGEMATTERS, no reference to Lambert 2013 despite that being the most up to date study)
- Other deity pages in need of overhaul: Innara, Inar, Istustaya and Papaya, Kurunta, Ullikummi, Ḫedammu
- Other ANE pages in need of a rewrite or expansion: Ugaritic religion (Ugarit is not Canaan according to current authorities in the field; also to fix: the redirect Ugaritic mythology), Theogony of Dunnu, Emar (adding a section on the city god and proposed identification, zukru, scribal learning, presence in Ebla texts etc.), É (temple), Sumerogram (language-specific paragraphs on Akkadian, Hurrian, Hittite, Elamite; Akkadograms; correcting blatant mistakes), NIN
- Articles I already worked on to expand and further improve: Dagan, Nanaya, Shaushka
- Other ANE articles to create: Elamite religion (+splitting Elam#List of Elamite gods into its own article or part of Elamite religion), Eblaite religion, Ballad of Early Rulers, Gurparanzaḫ, Temple Hymns, UD.GAL.NUN, Emesal
- ANE historical figure pages to create: Ilimilku, Gulkišar , Šamaš-reš-uṣur, Anam
- Japanese religions articles to create: Chūsei shinwa , Godo Daishin/Wudao Dashen (五毒大神), Iizuna Gongen , Daishōgun , Uhō Dōji
- Japanese religions articles to expand: Konpira Gongen (needs to be renamed)
- Japanese literature articles to expand: Kamo no Yasunori no musume
