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 (19 years, 175 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.

What are portals? "Doorways to knowledge." Wikipedia's coverage of subjects can be extensive (mathematics, for example, is covered by tens of thousands of articles on Wikipedia). Portals are an alternative entry to a subject (besides its main article), and to that subject's coverage in the encyclopedia, in a way similar to how the Main Page provides sample fare from Wikipedia as a whole.

Portals may include features such as Selected article sections, Selected image, news, points of interest (Did you know?, Anniversaries), and links to related Wikimedia. Portals are more diverse than the Main page, and may include features such as panoramic banners, slide shows, category trees, topics lists, and whatever else portal designers can come up with.

A secondary purpose of portals is to provide bridges between reading and editing, and between the encyclopedia and the Wikipedia community. They may provide links to the related WikiProjects, Wikipedia's Reference desk, and so on. Portals are a hybrid between encyclopedia pages and project pages, and occupy their own special namespace, the Portal namespace. Therefore, all portal titles are preceded by the prefix "Portal:"

The list of all completed portals is Portal:Contents/Portals. A list of all portals, including those under construction, can be found at Category:All portals. The Portals WikiProject is dedicated to collaboratively building and maintaining portals, and further expanding on the Portal concept, such as with automated features, and is always looking for new participants.
