This page serves as a collection of links to memorials about him and to some key pages or edits by him. It also contains some links to pages on other Wikimedia Foundation projects. It is by its nature incomplete.
All links are in URL format for easy copy-and-paste into email.
PART ONE: A partial list of his contributions to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Commons[edit]
A summary of his Wikipedia activity as an editor (off-Wiki link, sometimes this web site is slow or dead, try again later if it doesn't work):
https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Dravecky&project=en.wikipedia.org Factoids from that page: His largest period of activity by far was in 2008. He was making hundreds or thousands of edits a month from the month after he registered his account up until last fall, when he dropped down to a few dozen edits a month. He made more edits in 23 days of April than he did in any other month this year.
