User:Atyndall/Body
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi! My name is Atyndall and I have been editing Wikipedia since 2006 (but have only taken a serious interest in it since the start of 2008).
About me
I try to dedicate as much time as possible to Wikipedia but because of schooling, will not be very active during weekdays, even so I will get in about 0.5-1.5 hours a weekday and around 6-9 hours over the weekend. I enjoy using Wikipedia because of the vast amounts of information it provides and the intriguing behind-the-scenes politics involved in the co-ordination of a project this big.
My role on Wikipedia
I have many roles on Wikipedia as I am trying to gain enough experience to become an administrator. To keep organized I allocated each day of the week to a different task, my roles can be seem below and at the top of all of my userpages:
- Monday: Recent changes patroller - I am reverting vandalism using Huggle, reporting continuous vandalism to AIV.
- Tuesday: AfD Participant - I give my opinions on what articles should and shouldn't be deleted by interpreting policy and guidelines.
- Wednesday: see Monday
- Thursday: Help and Reference desk helper - I help people with Wikipedia and Computer Science related problems when possible.
- Friday: Article Writer - I browse the WikiProject Computer Science, WikiProject Computing and WikiProject Macintosh and choose an article that for the next month I will try and write up to the good article standard. For current and previous articles see here.
- Saturday: Mediation Cabal - I act as a mediator for people experiencing seeking dispute resolution.
- Sunday: Bot planning/building - I am working on creating a task for AtyndallBot, a PHP bot that I will create.

My Computer Setup
I use a aluminum PowerBook G4 12-inch 1.33GHz (512MB RAM) running Mac OS X 10.4 over a WPA2-PSK AES encrypted 802.11g wireless network. I also have a PC with a Intel Celeron D 2.6GHz, 1.25GB of RAM and a 120GB HD for when serious processing (or Huggle) is required.
Blog
I maintain a blog at atyndall.co.nr which links most, if not all, of my internet activities, including Video Logging, Computer Help, Open Source Software development and much more. Swing by there if you have time.
