Hello! I only edit Wikipedia when I'm bored. At least, that's what I tell myself.

I frequently revert nonconstructive edits (including vandalism), update and add short descriptions to articles, work through the Articles for Creation backlog, and most recently, participate in patrolling new pages.

If you're here, I may have been too bold, so talk to me and I can probably take another look!

Simple(-ish) procedures to remember

  2. Revert the page, and warn the user in their talk page (WP:WARN).
  3. If needed, report the user (WP:AIV).
  1. Make sure Shortdesc helper (WP:SDH) is up and working.
  2. Open Wikipedia's information page on short descriptions (WP:SDESC) and follow the guidelines - remember that no short description (WP:SDNONE) is perfectly okay sometimes!
  3. Optionally, use this automated report of short descriptions that match their article title, and fix them.

Reviewing new pages

Other backlogs / projects

edit
  1. This automated report of large redirect pages, usually text that's not supposed to be there.

I have the sneaking suspicion that fellow editors may be using this user page. If you're here, then hello! No guestbook to sign here, unfortunately :-).
