Current projects and preoccupations

Musical instruments
- I said I wouldn't, but the trombone-related articles were in a bad state, so I fixed them up; the types of trombone article should never have happened, so its material was moved to sensible places: back to trombone, or to new articles: contrabass trombone, bass trombone, cimbasso, alto trombone, valve trombone, soprano trombone, and superbone; tenor trombone can mostly defer to the main trombone article. I suspect that a lot of the sackbut article should be reduced/cited/corrected, and even largely moved back to the history section of the main trombone article.
Articles about New Zealand, helping out on WP:NZ, and participating in Wikipedia:Meetups/Wellington
- New Zealand conductors, composers and orchestras; there is no article for SOUNZ (Toi te Arapūoru / Centre for New Zealand Music), and it needs to be an authority control source for New Zealand classical and contemporary music; many articles are incomplete and need photos/infoboxes.
Wine articles, particularly New Zealand wine and rare or unusual (often Italian) grape varieties, for example Sagrantino or Corvinone
