From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I only really got into Wikpedia a few months ago when I was aked to write the MINERVA article, it was a pretty pants start but I am a quick learner and have improved since then. Mostly I like to pick and improve new articles that are really short and pointless. You would be supprised how many new stubs can be researched in an hour or so in google.
In truth I try my hand at anything and everything because I feel that specialising at a single thing actually minimizes productivity (oooh technical!). For example I occasionally use VandalProof when I get the chance (although I am very careful with is - especially as I got approved before I should have thanks to a kind admin) or tour the RC's or New pages special pages. As such I have a very wide range of edits to all sorts of different pages. I am a member of the Mediation cabal (well if it exists) and Esperanza and believe that although Wikipedia is primarily an encyclopedia it is an excellent community as well. At the moment I am currently working on the following articles (a.k.a to do list):
- Micro Mart - Working on the history and modern events fo the mag. Have added picyutere and infobox. Still requires rewrite
- Video scaler - clean up reasearch and rewrite but information is sparse
- Web Designer - stub for magazine article need to expand this!!
- Computer magazines - expanding list of computer magazines
- Template:Computer Magazines - created this template from Computer magazines, again needs expanding.
- Computer Active - magazine article, need to start...
