Hello! I only edit Wikipedia when I'm bored. At least, that's what I tell myself.
I frequently revert nonconstructive edits (including vandalism), update and add short descriptions to articles, work through the Articles for Creation backlog, and most recently, participate in patrolling new pages.
If you're here, I may have been too bold, so talk to me and I can probably take another look!
Simple(-ish) procedures to remember
edit- Make sure Twinkle (WP:TW) is up and working.
- Revert the page, and warn the user in their talk page (WP:WARN).
- If needed, report the user (WP:AIV).
Adding short descriptions
edit- Make sure Shortdesc helper (WP:SDH) is up and working.
- Open Wikipedia's information page on short descriptions (WP:SDESC) and follow the guidelines - remember that no short description (WP:SDNONE) is perfectly okay sometimes!
- Optionally, use this automated report of short descriptions that match their article title, and fix them.
Reviewing Redirects for Creation
edit- Make sure the afcrc-helper script is up and working.
- Open Wikipedia's information page on reviewing Redirects for Creation (WP:AFCRCR) and follow the guidelines.
- Open Wikipedia's list of templates for redirect pages (WP:TMR).
Reviewing Articles for Creation
edit- Make sure the Articles for Creation helper gadget (WP:AFCH) is up and working.
- Open Wikipedia's guidelines on notability (WP:N) and their subject specific variants.
- Open Wikipedia's guidelines on reviewing Articles for Creation (WP:AFCR).
- Make sure the Page Curation Toolbar (WP:PCT) is up and working.
- Open Wikipedia's guidelines on reviewing new pages (WP:NPPHOUR).
- Review any resources (WP:NPP/RES) for more detailed information, even for things only indirectly related to page patrolling.
Other backlogs / projects
editI have the sneaking suspicion that fellow editors may be using this user page. If you're here, then hello! No guestbook to sign here, unfortunately :-).
