[edit] Activities & Contributions

See Contributions page for article edits.

I am involved with the Energy Development WikiProject and I will be focusing much of my editing time on articles in that area. In addition, I also like sorting stubs and fixing (or flagging) random/new articles that need attention. On occasion, I'll go on RC Patrol and wikify any new articles that need adjustment as well as revert vandal edits and nonsense pages.

[edit] Articles Under Development

Hydrogen vehicle
  • On September 10, 2005, I moved Hydrogen car into Hydrogen vehicle. Before then, both articles existed but Hydrogen car was much more in-depth than the latter article. The first article was moved into the second because Hydrogen vehicle was the preferred title.
  • I am currently doing a graduate research project on fuel cell vehicle designs and prototypes and I plan to incorporate much of my findings into the article after the fall semester ends.
Hydrogen economy - When I first read this article, I was amazed at the article's comprehensiveness on the issues of hydrogen use on a macroeconomic scale. There were two main problems with this article. First, there was not enough structure to support the breadth of issues discussed. Some sections were several paragraphs long and I felt that more subsections were needed. Second, the original writer had a tendency to use complex compound sentences that I found difficult to read, and I felt compelled to rewrite some of the sections without losing any information. Below are major changes I've made:
  • On September 15, 2005, I restructured (and partially rewrote) the Production Methods section.
  • On September 16, 2005, I restructured (and parially rewrote" the Storage Methods section.
Category:Portable computers - Articles and subcategories need to be sorted better.
Home automation - Article needs more information.

[edit] Opinions / Suggestions

Below are my opinions and suggestions on projects operated by the Wikimedia Foundation:

[edit] WikiQuote

I don't know how everyone else feels, but I think WikiQuote is seriously flawed in how it archives quotes. Instead of having an individual article entry for each quote, quotes are grouped together in one entry representing a person or a movie. This limits your options on being able to search for the quote you want. For example, if I wanted to find a quote on beauty, that'd be impossible because quotes are listed by person, movie, book, etc.

I suggest that quotes be given their own article space. That way, quotes can be individually sorted by person, subject(s), media the quote originated in such as newspaper or film, and other category types. This will be a very large and complicated project to do since WikiQuote is already very large but I think this will be more beneficial in the long run.

Vandalism levels are still above normal... CSD is severely backlogged. -- Hdt83 Chat 01:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
