Why am I here?

[edit]

I created this account to help with the Tennis articles; which relate to the Tennis Portal. I am eclectic in my interests, with a few strong points here and there. (Ibid. Avicennasis) I am appalled at general vandalism as much as overzealous editors. I promote The 10 Simple Rules. I have been known to make updates in any of the categories listed on the right.

Wikipedian Status: Member since January, 2006 (18 years, 322 days).

What have I done? Edit Count: 6000+


Who am I?

[edit]
  • I am a geek of the first water, but prefer to be an IT Renaissance man.
  • I am currently doing contract IT work in Boise, Idaho. Since, I generally work within IT/Web Departments; I am usually promoting the editing of Wikipedia on behalf of my employers. Although some of my edits may concern my previous employers, I am not in Public Relations and my contributions do not represent the views or opinions of my employers or any of their subsidiaries.

Vandalism

[edit]
  1. Revert first, then discuss
  2. Use the Warn function in WP:Huggle, even for IP's - so they can be blocked.

WikiProject Banners

[edit]
  1. Every article should have one; usually more. The more eyes, the better the article.
    1. If more than 3; place {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}; If WPBIO then add blp=yes to the shell
  2. WP Banner Order
    1. If WPBio, then move it to first position. Take a famous tennis player; WPBio, Then Tennis, Then country of birth. Then state if US, Cities if they have a "Category:Sports people from {cityname}"
    2. if Museum: Museum, then {art|tech|natural}, then country, maybe city

Projects

[edit]

I have a number of projects in which I have an interest. I have not joined them all. I am still learning about Portals, Projects, Templates and Categories; how they currently work and generally making sure that my areas of interest are up to standards and correct data-wise when possible.

Articles I'm working on in my sandbox

[edit]

These are works in progress, but I would still be interested in input other wikipedians have to offer on them.

Articles I'm working on live

[edit]
  1. Category:List-Class_tennis_articles - Building this list; also N/A's
  2. Assess articles: Category:Unknown-importance_tennis_articles
  3. Go for players that need an infobox. Find Category.
  1.  Done Rebuild Template:WikiProject Tennis from a custom template to a WPBannerMeta standard template.

 Done Made it {{Boise State University}}

How to provide a Google search in a link

Here is an example of a link which activates a Google search: Tip of the day, on Wikipedia

It was built using this wikilink:
[[google:"Tip of the day"+site:en.wikipedia.org|Tip of the day, on Wikipedia]]

Sometimes it is useful to place a link to a Google search directly in a discussion. You can also use links to predefine an entire search session, and then use a tool like WP:LINKY to open the searches all at once into separate web browser tabs.

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}
