Live spellcheck - if you see the edit summary Pseudo automatic live spellcheck: Correct spelling... it means I corrected the listed spelling. This is not a bot, and I do check each correction manually (per policy). The articles I correct are chosen by the script, and not me.
Source patrol - I've added [citation needed] to these articles recently, and if the statements aren't sourced soon, I'll remove the statements in accordance with WP:V.
Constitutional Court of Spain - there is very little about the Spanish judiciary on Wikipedia in general. I'll start with this article, and try to get it up to DYK status, and then move on to other related articles.
Right to petition - started article, mostly about US application (since that's what I'm familiar with), and, incidentally, UK historic application (only because I'm tracing the roots of the American application in the US Bill of Rights)
Bush v. Gore - for such a controversial issue, this is well-balanced article, I think it can reach FA status. I've done a bunch of improvements, but the major thing left to reach comprehensiveness is fleshing out the details of the individual justice's opinions.
These are specific examples of general trends in Wikipedia that bother me.
Only one trend for now! That's good!
Fringe opinions (and controversies about those fringe opinions, and discussions about controversies about..., etc. etc.) get more coverage and editor time than the topic itself
... that the Russian and Belarussian military exercise Zapad 2009(pictured) involved nuclear-capable ballistic missiles?
... that the Robyn Gigl novel By Way of Sorrow, which features a transgender lawyer as the protagonist, was described as "quietly groundbreaking" by The New York Times?
... that a boot is the only monument in the United States dedicated to the traitor Benedict Arnold because it "was the only part of Arnold not to later turn traitor"?
