Portrait photo of Teru Hasegawa — The inspiration for my account name, Teru Hasegawa, also known as Verda Majo.

Hello, my name is Verda.Majo. I am a ML.

I hope to contribute what I can to increase peoples' access to information and knowledge through this project.

Projects

Here I will list things I am either currently working on or that I plan to work on.

Topics and pages to work on

I want to keep adding information about imperialist individuals (such as imperial core politicians, CIA Directors, CEOs of major corporations, etc.) and what specific things they have been involved with, the specific ideas and goals they uphold, what they have done, etc. I also want to eventually work on pages about imperialist think tanks, such as Project for the New American Century, The Heritage Foundation, the Brookings Institution, etc. and pages about large multinational corporations.

One day I intend to increase the amount of information on the list of atrocities committed by the United States of America, as I believe it is an important page to develop. I would also like to add more information in general to DPRK's page and about pages relating to DPRK, including on DPRK's provinces and prominent cities.

Otherwise, I want to keep working on pages and topics I have already contributed to before (see heading below).

Improving and fixing my old edits

I want to begin looking through my old edits and trying to improve them and fix problems with them. I will be going through pages where I made big or frequent edits in the past and trying to bring them to a better standard. Of course, I welcome anyone who happens to fix such things before I do. I want to prioritize making my old edits much better cited/sourced, better written, better organized, and in some cases, making subsections of the pages more concise or orderly. In the process of doing this I may end up adding some new information as well, but I mainly want to prioritize cleaning up my edits before adding a lot of new information.

-Early in my participation here, I mainly added information to the page about [[Republic of Korea|south Korea]], as well as created the page [[LGBT rights and issues in AES countries]]. Looking over the list of my contributions thus far, in general the articles I have contributed to usually relate to [[Korea]] or to [[United States imperialism]], although I have delved into other topics as well and contributed what I hope was useful information on them.

-When I first joined, I had no experience with contributing to a wiki. Now I feel I have gained more skill in doing so, although I'm still learning. I think my pace of activity here has been a bit slow, with occasional times in which I make several edits, but long periods where I am occupied with other things in life, or where I am doing study/research, usually taking notes on what I'm looking into with the intent to eventually add something here.

-At time of writing, I am making my way through ''Modern Korea'' (1970) by [[Kim Byong Sik]] and ''How Europe Underdeveloped Africa'' (1972) by [[Walter Rodney]], along with various other books and articles I am reading intermittently which relate to topics I'm studying. I've also been taking a look through various books which fellow contributors here have recommended in reading lists, listed on their profiles, or uploaded to the library, etc. Thanks to all who have made lists, mentioned books on their pages, and made additions to the library.
+One day I intend to increase the amount of information on the [[List of atrocities commited by the United States of America|list of atrocities committed by the United States of America]], as I believe it is an important page to develop. I would also like to add more information in general to [[Democratic People's Republic of Korea|DPRK]]'s page and about pages relating to DPRK, including on DPRK's provinces and prominent cities.

+Otherwise, I want to keep working on pages and topics I have already contributed to before (see heading below).
-In general, I am usually studying something about Korea, imperialism, neo-colonialism, modern history (mainly 1900s-present), or about specific individuals (e.g., I have created basic articles or added to articles on figures like [[Douglas MacArthur]], [[Allen Dulles]], [[Mike Pompeo]], various U.S. presidents, and wish to add more such as articles on [[Victoria Nuland]] and [[Antony Blinken]]) and organizations (in the future I would like to be informed enough to make or add to articles about various think tanks, e.g. things like [[Project for the New American Century]] and [[The Heritage Foundation]], or information about specific corporations like [[Raytheon]], [[Northrop Grumman]], [[Lockheed Martin Corporation|Lockheed Martin]], and so on, as well as adding information on pages about specific media outlets).
-One day I intend to increase the amount of information on the [[List of atrocities commited by the United States of America|list of atrocities committed by the United States of America]], as I believe it is an important page to develop. However, the intensity of the subject matter due to the horrific nature of the crimes makes it a difficult area to research, in addition to the sheer amount of atrocities which could potentially be listed there, I imagine it will take a long time even for the things which I consider within my limited scope of knowledge to be able to write about. I also hope to keep adding by-country information to the [[United States imperialism]] page and potentially make a page for the [[anti-base movement]]. I also intend eventually to create a single page about the [[unconverted long-term political prisoners]]; originally, I made sections for this on both south and north Korea's pages. However I feel that was not a good organizational choice on my part and I hope to correct it at some point.

-In general, I am always intending and trying to increase my level of knowledge in subjects which I am less familiar with, but of course, we are all limited by time and by other projects and activities, and I do try to keep on track with areas in which I do have more specific knowledge, in order to spend time deepening that knowledge. I want to say thanks to all who have created and contributed to ProleWiki. I hope my contributions so far have been beneficial.
