- Derekd73 (talk) 07:01, 5 March 2011 (UTC) - Currently editing Watch main article, hoping it becomes a good overview which allows the reader to branch out to the other relevant pages. Sub-topics seem really split up and it's tough to coordinate all of the references and citations. Could use some help on citations.

Articles
I am rather fed up of being for the time being about the only one caring about the "horology" articles. In just five minutes I have picked out at random a few articles that need mending, coordinated and improved. (e.g. who cares about Ikepod, compared to the rest?). There are numerous others much more significant. Wake Up!
