Welcome to the Wikipedia home page of Joe Mabel. For Joe's true Home Page, see http://www.speakeasy.org/~jmabel.
Mini-CV
Originally from Freeport, New York, went to college at Wesleyan University, and did graduate work in Computer Science at the University of Washington have lived most of my adult life in Seattle; also stints in
London, Barcelona, and Bucharest.
At the end of March '04 I left a position as a Director of (Software) Development at The Lux Group (http://www.lux-seattle.com); in July-August I did a successful internationalization project for Tableau Software (http://www.tableausoftware.com). I am seeking similar work (on a temporary or permanent basis) in the Seattle area. I'd also consider short-term opportunities in New York City, San Francisco, or most European locations. My resume is at

Wikipedia: Major areas of work
The following is by no means comprehensive, but if you like, here's comprehensive (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=Jmabel), at least for the English language Wikipedia.
Ethnicity
As of 02 Jan 04, I've started Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic Groups. I need collaborators.
Related to Romania
Most of these I've written myself, a few I've translated. If you are aware of Romanian-languages articles that could use translation, please notify me on my talk page.
Romanian bands
Related to Seattle
- Using some material of my own plus material contributed by Emmett Shear, I've completely reworked all of the articles related to the History of Seattle. This has a ways to go; I've added stubs for subtopics I think particularly could use attention.
- Denny Party
- Grunge_music
Related to Jorge Luis Borges and Argentina
Related to the French Revolution
I've also carried the article on the French Revolution solidly through about September 1792, and have spun out more detailed historical articles (incorporating, also, a few solid pieces that were already there), but haven't gotten around to continuing it past that point. I'd be genuinely happy if someone else would carry this forward.
Related to Catalunya and the Catalan world
I've translated:
- Catalan grammar (& related articles)
- I've been translating a series of articles related to Catalan myths and legends and also taking some material from these to present specifically Catalan aspects of more broadly Iberian or European myths and legends. See, especially, Catalan mythology about witches.
- I've translated a series of articles related to the Comarques of Catalonia. Unfortuntately, some of these aren't too strong in the Catalan original, but I'm translating (and in some cases enhancing) what is there.
...and a few others, mostly to do with Catalan monarchs and with Mallorca
BTW, pet peeve: Wikipedia chooses the spellings "Catalonia" and "Majorca".
Brown v. Board of Education
In honor of the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, I've written several short articles, including ones on the three other cases combined into Brown (Briggs v. Elliott, Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County, and Gebhart v. Belton) and on the Fifth Circuit Four.
Other
- Freeport, New York (my hometown)
- Wesleyan University (my alma mater)
- I made major contributions (some amounting to rewrites) to the articles liberalism, Socialism, Left-right politics, Left-wing politics, Right-wing politics, Conservatism, etc. Also, trying to work through an NPOV dispute in Left-wing politics has led me to work extensively on ANSWER, Not in Our Name, and United for Peace and Justice. I've also written quite a few stubs on various groups on the political left, mostly in the U.S.
- Over a hundred translations, including Paraguayos, República o Muerte (the Paraguayan National Anthem), José Ortega y Gasset, Wayang, Technoparade, Paragraph 175, and (on Wikisource) Salvador Allende's last speech (http://sources.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Allende%27s_Last_Speech_%28English_translation%29). I'm a heavy participant in Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English, Wikipedia:Translation into English, and Wikipedia:Vfd.
