[edit] Articles I have worked most on

Articles with a * are the first edits I made as an anon editor. While significant, they were not good vis-a-vis wikipedia standards. I return to these from time to time to clean them up and reference them better. Still working on them...

[edit] Awards

The Working Man's Barnstar
I have been less active on this backlog than I was for the August category but to everyone who has in a single month taken this category from over 10K to less than 2K articles: y'all deserve a collective barnstar. Pascal.Tesson 04:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC) (awarded to all of the editors who did catagorization work from the Sept 2006 uncatagorized backlog)


The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
Though what you did is not so random, I, on behalf of E@L, award you this barnstar for ll your support. Randfan 18:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


The Barnstar of Liberty
For making a well-written essay giving his opinion on the community of Wikipedians. Ed ¿Cómo estás? 04:44, 18 November 2006 (UTC) (for my essay on /Orthodoxy and heresy at Wikipedia)


Trampton has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

[edit] Tools I use regularly

[edit] Namespace subpages

  • /Musings on notability An essay I am working on. I take the stance that there is one test for encylopedic articles: Multiple, non-trivial references from reliable sources. All other "tests" as they exist only serve to obfuscate and confuse. Simplify, simplify, simplify.
  • /Esperanza A WikiCommunity I belong to. Check them out, helps relieve WikiStress, and that can only make us more productive editors...
  • /Orthodoxy and heresy at Wikipedia An essay inspired by the rather contentious MfD for Esperanza
  • /How to argue effectively I was getting tired of reading bad, illogical, or otherwise ineffective arguments on XfD and other discussions.

[edit] Other random stuff I think others should read
