Nice to meet you! I'm Olivia. This is my Wikipedia account :)
I'm currently working on fixing dead links all across Wikipedia, but mainly the ones I've listed under my interests below. In addition, I fix up citations to ensure they have all the information available to prevent the link from rotting or being hard to find in the future. I also try to add some content to pages if I'm able to as well. Thanks for stopping by!
If you have any questions, feel free to talk to me on my talk page! I am always learning, and if you notice any way I can improve, please let me know.
Interests
[edit]I have a lot of interests, I actively like to look up Airports and Airlines, to try and improve the pages. I'm currently working on some projects like the Geographical coordinates WikiProject among other ones I find interesting. I am also in the (slow) process of reviving the Bowling WikiProject, but I'm taking my time with it. Feel free to help! My main goals are improving articles in the Aviation, Baseball, and Austrian projects. I try to also add new information when applicable, but I want to continue learning the rules and guidelines before I start doing major edits, like creation of articles down below.
What I do
[edit]Here is a list of what I primarily edit on Wikipedia, in no specific order:
- Rescue dead links in the Baseball wiki project.
- Add coordinates to various articles, sometimes from Wikidata.
- I always add the coordinates to Wikidata, with references. If you wonder where I got coordinates from, check there!
- Move some files to commons.
- Replace Newspapers.com image links with clipped article links.
- Per WP:NEWSPAPERS, it is suggested that newspapers.com image links (e.g. links that are www.newspapers.com/images) should be replaced with clipped articles.
- Clipped articles can be archived and read by all users for free, compared to image links which can't do either.
- Users can always view the full page by clicking into the article from the clip, so there's no loss, only gains :)
Template Data
[edit]I also try to add TemplateData to templates when missing. So far, I've only added them to baseball-related templates. Here's a list of templates I've added:
- {{Winning percentage}}
- {{Wins-losses-pct in table}}
- {{MLB Farm System}}
- {{Baseballstats}}
- {{Infobox military installation}} (improved/finished)
If there's a template you want me to add template data for, let me know on my talk page!

Files uploaded
[edit]I've uploaded some files for the purposes of improving articles. Files uploaded to Wikipedia are here solely because they are non-free, but their existence serves to improve the article they're on. Files I've uploaded to Wikimedia Commons are also to improve articles, but are taken by me and licensed under CC-by-4.0 or the public domain depending on the uniqueness of the photo.
To-do
[edit]Articles to create
[edit]- Earthbound Trading Company (clothing and home accessory chain store from Grapevine, Texas)
- This article might not be notable enough on its own. It must be verified as notable before work should be done.
Articles in progress
[edit]- Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (bowling company responsible for a lot of bowling related things)
- Likely: BPAA as a redirect, since it's often abbreviated to that
- This article should be notable enough, given how they're referenced in notable articles (see this search result).
- Also needs a redirect from Bowling Proprietors Association of America, due to a common tendency to exclude the apostrophe.
- List of members of the Bowling Hall of Fame
- International Bowl Expo, bowling-related trade show by the above company.
Articles to improve
[edit]- Charlie Fitzberger, not my article, but it's a stub that has a lot of newspaper articles I could go and add to.
