Hi, I'm -sche ({{IPA|[ʃeɪ]}}, like [[shea|the tree]]). 

I am become [[:File:Evelyn De Morgan - Angel of Death.jpg|Death]], destroyer of words. I delete words and senses that sit on RFV for more than a month or so without evidence of use. Do not re-enter them without [[WT:CFI|valid citations]].<!--[http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary%3ARequests_for_verification&diff=16332005&oldid=16313214] [http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary%3ARequests_for_verification&diff=16385630&oldid=16384688]--> Equinox, Ruakh, Liliana-60, Beobach972, Mglovesfun, TheDaveRoss and I and others brought the page down from its all-time high, on [http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary:Requests_for_verification&oldid=6632519 20 May 2009], of 988,439 bytes‎. I have a list of the few remaining tagged-but-not-listed entries (and entries I haven't tagged yet) at [[User:-sche/RFV]].

In the past, I worked on [[User:-sche/Adjectives draft|updating]] [[Wiktionary:English adjectives]]. Recently, I have been working from [[User:-sche/water|this list]] to create English entries for the names of all the languages Wiktionary includes, and to ensure that Wiktionary [[WT:RFM|gives]] each language the most common (attested) distinct name it has ([[User:-sche/langnames]], [[:User:-sche/languagecs]]).

As I work on language names, I also work with language codes, and I [[User:-sche/langcodes|overhauled]]<!--[[:Category:Language templates]], [[Wiktionary:Languages]], [[Wiktionary:Index to templates/languages]], [[Wiktionary:Etymology/language templates]], [[:Category:Etymology templates]]; [[Appendix:ISO 639-5 language codes]]. [[Wiktionary:Beer_parlour_archive/2010/September#qfa]]--> ''[[WT:Languages]]'', ''[[WT:Families]]'' and ''[[WT:Dialects]]'' to better document Wiktionary's language-code-naming system.
