This is the bimonthly 'What are you working On?' thread. Previous threads are here. So here's the question:

What are you working on?

Here are some guidelines:

Focus on projects that you have recently made progress on, not projects that you're thinking about doing but haven't started.

I haven't heard of such a thing, and in any case most RW articles that are actually good fit that statistical description. There's no de jure ownership of articles, but in practice editors have their favourites and others often don't bother. (I suspect the same largely applies to Wikipedia, though that's just my human simulator talking, not numbers.)
