About Me
[edit]My Name is Joe Howski (shortend), and I live in Melbourne Australia
I try to make it a daily habit to look at one random topic on Wikipedia and learn something about it. If the topic is bare or rambling, I try do a little research on it to gain just that little bit more insight, which I add to the Wikipedia. Hopefully others readers will do the same, to make the articles rich and informative.

Area's of interest
[edit]- My aims are
- To improve my knowledge of mediawiki and wikipedia so as to better edit ClickWiki
- To share my access to specialist knowledge in engineering and computers with the rest of the community.
- To improve the accuracy and reference to articles posted at wikipedia.
- To Better cross reference articles between various wiki's on the internet
Templates & Links I use for editing
[edit]Wikipedia is a large database of articles and how-to, this is a custom set article that I would often like to use in the articles I edit articles.
- {{wiktionary}} - dictionary reference, use to link article to dictionary reference.
- <ref name="example">example. </ref> - how to reference
- <ref name="example" /> - how to make a second reference.
- {{coor dms|35|35|02|S|148|58|37|E|}} - example co-ordinate reference
- {{cleanup-confusing|July 2007}} - when an article is confusing to a reader
- Wikipedia:Citing_sources
- Wikipedia:Verifiability, Verifiability
- Wikipedia:Forum_for_Encyclopedic_Standards
- [Academic Standards disease]
- Article Issues
Todo list
[edit]This is my personal TODO list for the Wikipedia.
- Setup this page, look for templates etc
- Determine how to reference wikipedia books
- Determine how to reference wikipedia university or courses.
- Determine if there is a wiki for original research and POV which may be narrow, and determine if there are ways to link through to these.
- Reread verifiable sources list as to the hierarchy of reference quality.
- Look for a wikipedia best practices and more importantly figure out how to learn of new stuff.
- Since some wikipedians hold a NPOV about the very topic of NPOV, I was thinking of either writing or encouraging the writing of a greasemonkey script that intergrates alternative NPOV via alternate wiki web sites.
- Find or develop a macro that can be used to search for additional information on the internet that can easily be added to articles.
- The objective is to craft the keywords for the search to exclude as many or the common irrelevant results.
- For example let say you search google using the term "seven hats" but get "seven hats nintendo" in the results.
- The idea is to precraft the searches so the majority of searches result in more targeted results.
- Thus making it easier to update articles and for wikipedia readers to gain a deeper understanding of a subject.
- Wikipedia:Userboxes - Add userboxes
Done list
