User:Schutz

Things I have been doing recently:

Develop some bots for housekeeping on Wikipedia:
- Zorglbot, a bot which does some housekeeping on the Wikipedia:Copyright problems and Wikipedia:Templates for deletion pages.
- Zorglbot also parses daily the list of short pages, and puts the results at User:Zorglbot/Shortpages; this allows a user to concentrate on short pages which are likely to be blanked or vandalised, without having to look at short copyvios, disambiguation or protected pages. It has proven quite useful and has allowed the speedy deletion of many articles which had been overlooked. This bot now runs on the toolserver, at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~schutz/output/shortpages.html
- A bot to automatically "bold" featured articles which have been featured on the main page, as well as indicate on the talk page of the article that the article has been featured. This bot runs under my own username for practical reasons. Therefore, it does not have a bot flag, but all his edits are clearly marked as being done automatically by a bot.
Create articles for all municipalities of Switzerland:
- Municipalities of the Canton of Geneva: created navigational template and stubs for all municipalities.
- Municipalities of the canton of Vaud: we now have nav templates for all districts, and stubs for all municipalities (mainly thanks to Docu and D6).
Trying to remove "click here" links from as many articles as possible, since they are evil... There are still many of them left around...

I try to avoid controversial areas on Wiki because, well, if I want to deal with idiots, I know plenty of Hollywood producers I could call.
