[ Commons: Heavy Water | Wikinews: Heavy Water | Wiktionary: Heavy Water ]
I'm predominantly active at the English Wikinews nowadays. I find WP:ELNO violations and the use of {{Cite news}} instead of {{Cite web}} for news websites annoying.
What do I do here? A lot of different things: for a while, when I was a newbie, I just did content creation; then I focused on RC patrol for a while, and got rollback; nowadays, I participate at Redirects for discussion, copyedit, rewrite unsourced content with sources, and sometimes write content, patrol RC, participate in discussions...

editMeyer won 43,833 votes (56.51%), while Jones received 33,735 votes (43.49%). Jones has not been heard from since. Is there suspicion of foul play? Additionally, there were 11,500 bytes of Matt Meyer's "Accomplishments".
I removed about 4,700 bytes that contained such things as Daughters looked to their Mothers' for guidance. In the Mexican American Patriarchal society; Mothers had trouble navigating the margins of tradition. Parents usually want what is best for their children, that were cited with sociological research papers and, while valid, were misplaced and POV.

Apparently this editor is a time traveler.
Perhaps because the perception of George W. Bush having low intelligence was claimed by some political pundits[3] as well as by politicians, the hoax report was assumed by some to be true.
In B.s 1990 29 students gave the SLC exam for the first time in the history of Nepal. Among them 10 passed away with 2nd Division and rest 9 passed away with 3rd Division. As well as 10 students have failed and 5 of them don't appear the exam
B.S., by the way, refers to the Bengali calendar; ignore the fact that when I removed this sentence it was only B.S. 1429 and therefore this IP was nearly 500 years ahead of schedule. I was piqued by the trivial statistics about the pass rate. And also that at least 19 students died during the test. Tragic.
The modern use, refers to the length of a conservative Prime Minister in office, alternatively in the [[United States]], refers to a heyday, a period when somebody was at the peak of their abilities, not necessarily in their youth.
