User:Slysplace Slysplace is a semi-anonymous Wikipedian with an (occasional) multitude of interests and odd knowledge who insists his writing to be edited mercilessly.

Although I often use automated tools I am not an admin, a bot or bot operator (nor do I wish to be) and occasionally do fix and write things manually.

There are currently 6,856,191 articles on English Wikipedia. Which one are you concerned about?

Go ahead give me one

I haven't necessarily joined all of these, but do participate or have participated in the following projects:

  • NFL : The kind of project that REALLY makes you wonder why you began to edit anyway...
  • NHL : another massive draft series undertaking I'm not sure why I took on!
  • Photography : More of a source of reference for me as an avid amateur photographer but rarely do I help it.
  • Florida : Of interest to me as my home state and I like to vacation in my backyard.
  • Tropical Cyclones : I deal with them all day every day, editing seems a COI.
  • Woodworking : I've read most if not all of this, cleaned up some of it.
  • Guitarists : I no longer play so at best I've assisted in luthier stubs cleanup.

Wikipedia industrial-powered search

Do you need more search power? You wish to leave no stone unturned?

AutoWikiBrowser includes a tool called Database Scanner that searches Wikipedia offline from your hard disk. It returns a simple unformatted single-column list of pages that match your criteria.

It is in AWB's tool menu. To use the scanner, first download the Wikipedia Database and unzip it. No login is required to use the tool, so you do not need to be a registered AWB user. Database Scanner supports regular expressions (regex) and it supports two search fields that it uses at the same time: one for searching titles and one for searching page content.

It may take over 20 minutes for a search to finish, so the best approach may be to change to another window and forget about the search for a while, though it can be fun (and enlightening) to watch the titles as they appear on the list (and look some up while you are waiting). Database Scanner also has a filter feature to further refine the list of results.
