Notes on My Wikipedia Activities

edit

As per User pages, this section should contain:

"Current or planned articles, topic areas, to-do lists, reminders, articles worked on, accolades and other successes, collaborative works, draft proposals, (constructive) thoughts on Wikipedia articles or policies and how they should be changed, etc.Expansion and detailed backup for points being made (or which you may make) in discussions elsewhere on the wiki."

Works in Progress

edit

Useful links, tools, and scripts

edit

NOTE:"Useful" is a subjective term and no examples were given in the User pages help article to illuminate what should go here. Thus, I will use my best judgment. For instance, I just joined the Wikipedia:WikiProject Electronics project and there is a recommended list of software for drawing circuits. I believe that would be an appropriate thing to put here.

User space archives

edit

The User pages article says this:

"Old talk page threads, etc. (Some content may not be kept indefinitely in userspace if unused.)" I'm not sure what this means in a practical sense. Perhaps since I don't have any talk page threads. The meaning of this section may become apparent to me if I begin to collaborate and communicate with other editors more.

Matters that are long enough, or active enough, to allocate them a page of their own

edit

None, at present.

Personal writings suitable within the Wikipedia community

edit

Here is the User pages description for this section:

* Non-article Wikipedia material such as reasonable Wikipedia humor, essays and perspectives, personal philosophy, comments on Wikipedia matters

  • Disclosures of important matters such as absences or self-corrections that you would like other editors to know about, etc
  • Statements of congratulations or condolence for major events, especially if related to Wikipedia editorship or major life-events.

(Make sure the user wants these to be publicly mentioned on the wiki, they may wish it to be private.)

Experimentation (usually on subpages)

edit

User pages says this:

Trial pages for templates, unfamiliar or specialist markup (including LaTeX), etc., as a kind of personal sandbox.

Pages to test bots and scripts without doing harm.

User pages and user subpages can be transcluded and substituted, so they behave like templates, and can be tested as such.

Limited Autobiographical Content

edit

User pages says:

"For example, languages you know (see Wikipedia:Babel) or fields you have knowledge in."


A small and proportionate amount of suitable unrelated material

edit

A number of users have Wikipedia and sister project content such as (free use) pictures from Wikimedia Commons, favorite Wikipedia articles, or quotations that they like.

Pages used for blatant promotion or as a soapbox or battleground for unrelated matters are usually considered outside this criterion. For example: a five page résumé and advertising for your band will probably be too much, a brief three sentence summary that you work in field X and have a band named Y will be fine.
