Navigation popups The Navigation popups wikitool allows easier access to several Wikipedia features as "popups" which appear when you hover the mouse over links. With this useful tool, when you hover your mouse cursor over a wikilink you can see a preview of the article or image; plus you can activate convenient functions such as going directly to the talk, edit, or history pages. In order to use navigation popups you must be logged in under your own user account and install some JavaScript onto a subpage of your userpage. Full instructions are in the Navigation popups page.

My day on Wikipedia begins with checking my watchlist. I review each change, add necessary comments, and revert any vandalism I come across. Occasionally I will click links to random pages and clean up articles that don't meet Wikipedia's standards, but the majority of my time is spent voting. And I don't mean for politics. My favorite spots are Featured picture candidates and Motto of the day. Here is a summary of the ideas I have suggested for others to vote on.
