I am Civilbeard. I am interested in sumo and TTRPGs. I am also a professional civil engineer with experience in hydrology, hydraulics, site design, sanitary sewers, and drinking water distribution.

Find me on other projects:

• Commons:Civilbeard

• Tamawashi Ichirō
  • Add a bit about nodowa in fighting style (cite Sumo Prime Time?)
  • Find more sources for fighting style section. Lots of unsupported assertions in there.
  • add this source to Consecutive appearance record section https://hochi.news/articles/20260311-OHT1T51293.html?page=1
• Keep up with Talk:Gravity sewer#Proposal: Merge this article into Sanitary sewer
• Add a pipe geometry section to either pipe or gravity sewer
  • include the pipe cross section diagram
  • source for definition of springline: https://florida.concretepipe.org/springline
  • Could likely cover everything covered by invert level and then delete that article
• Hunt down pictures for wrestler bios
• Write up a fighting style section for Wakanosho
• Create a Nabatame article. Should be plenty of news about him since he's popular.
  • Some sources:

• Improve Kimarite
  • Add Tomokaze for Hatakikomi in addition to Aoiyama? Tomokaze used it 43% of wins so far. Would be interesting if I can prove he has the highest rate of use of any rikishi. Ask on sumoforum how to check.
    • He definitely has the highest, but I haven't found any articles to back me up. Can't use original research so this may be a dead end.
• Glossary of sumo terms
  • Add entry about tsuki(突き)/oshi(押し)
• Ichiyamamoto
  • Add information about recent mawashi fighting.
  • Expand career to current day.
  • Add a bit about his shikona. iirc he added "ichi" to his family name to avoid an unlucky number of strokes
    • Middy says there was an Abema interview where Ichiyamamoto said he wanted to be the number 1 Yamamoto. See if I can find the interview.
• When Omori gets promoted to Juryo
  • source for "handsome" https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202609270000560.html
• Figure out where to put Rational Method and TR-55 (peak discharge models - uncalibrated)
  • Start by creating a stand-alone article. Then report back to the WikiProject Engineering talk page and see if folks think it should be merged with an existing one.
  • Draft:Stormwater Peak-Discharge Estimation - Wikipedia
    • Surface runoff#Measurement and mathematical modeling?
    • Runoff curve number?
    • Runoff model (reservoir)?
    • Hydrological model? more central than Runoff model (reservoir)
    • Stormwater?
  • Submit for Did You Know? within 7 days of publishing
