[edit] Wiki Philosophy
My general philosophy is always to do the things that other people won't or don't. This generally means that you won't find me getting into drawn out arguments surrounding any of wikipedia's hot button pages as there are usually countless other editors who do so with far more zeal than I can muster. I've also found that the more important articles tend to be very good and adhere to wikipedia's policies. The problem is that articles of secondary importance are far less closely scrutinized, despite the fact that wikipedia is often considered a prime source of information about those sorts of subjects. Therefore I tend to spend a lot of time working on those sorts of articles. I also like to see the overall quality and framework of the encyclopedia maintained so I spend a lot of time WikiGnoming. You'll often see me fixing typos, correcting spelling, citing facts, making inline refs, cleaning up link spam, and countless other such tasks. All of that being said, one of the things I like about wikipedia is it's breadth, and there is almost nothing I haven't worked on at one time or another, so don't be surprised to see me pop up pretty much anywhere.
[edit] Photographic contributions (in the commons)
My photographic contributions are currently too numerous to list here. If you want to see an updated list, check my photo album on the commons.
[edit] Todo list
This todo list is as much for my own use as it is for anyone else's. While I usually work on whatever catches my eye at any given moment, these are the more long term things I plan on working on.
Jewish
- Passover Seder cleanup, add information on origins
- Manischewitz improve wine section
- The succession boxes for the Nasi of the ancient sanhedrin (which I originally made years ago), have all been messed up by people using less reliable sources (in this case Google). I plan on going back and fixing them all and citing it properly this time to remove confusion in the future.
- Moshe David Tendler cleanup
- Megillat Antiochus refs
- Web application security scanner cleanup
- Nessus (software) expand, improve, cite, screenshot
- Retina Vulnerability Assessment Scanner expand
- Security Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks needs work
- OWASP needs work
- Red box (phreaking)
- Certified Ethical Hacker
- ARP spoofing
Other
- Children's National Medical Center expand, make it look less like an advertisement
Ongoing things I regularly work on
- Correct spelling and grammar across the encyclopedia
- NP patrol
- Remove link spam
- Category:United States articles missing geocoordinate data - find some coords
[edit] Counters
My first edit was in June of 2005, although I didn't really start editing until the fall of that year. I used to have a serious case of editcountitis, which I am mostly recovered from now. My edit rate is still high because I spend a lot of time working on minor things to improve wikipedia. I stopped caring about my edit count sometime after I hit 10,000, but you're welcome to look if you like.
- kate's counting tool
- Interiot's wannabe_kate counter is back! (my personal favorite).
- Interiot's javascript backup
