WP:Bold editor focused mostly on journalism and political systems.

I do not mind being reverted, but will revert a reversion if the following talk page consensus supports the original edit.

Main pages: Module:Assessed Link and Template:Assessment Link

Trying to create version of the Template:Annotated link. (Help:Template): {{#invoke:Assessed_link|main |1={{{1|}}} |2={{{2|}}} |3= |4=[[{{{1|}}}|{{#property:P473|{{{1|}}}}}]] }}

  • Field 1: Article name
  • Field 2 (optional): Editor Name (shows both the article rating after the editor's first edit and the current article ranking.)
  • Field 3 (optional): Single article (default) or complete editing history
    • The second would list all the articles an editor has worked on along with the rating change since their first edit (similar idea to list of articles below)

Editing

edit

Some of my favorite types of edits to make:

  • WP:External Links
    • Working to define the source of each link clearly and with a wikilink to that source's page
    • Moving into References or See Also
    • Removing unreliable or unhelpful links
  • WP:Further Reading
    • Using as a source in the article
    • Putting in reverse chronological order
    • Ensuring the listed works match the scope for the article well (not too narrow, broad or something that is a 'see also')
    • Removing those already listed as a source in the article
    • Attempting to trim these sections to 0-5 sources (Template:Too much further reading says most editors prefer to cap sections at a half dozen)
    • Assessing notability using citation counts (e.g. 2 cites per year published), book reviews, and other methods (open to suggestions)
  • WP:See also
    • Removing when wikilink already used
    • Using in the article
    • Moving to the relevant section
    • Alphabetizing
  • WP:References
    • Flagging unreliable references - still a bit confused about the role of primary sources - holding off on these edits until I get more confirmation
  • WP:No original research
