From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 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!

Reverting vandalism

[edit]
  1. Make sure Twinkle (WP:TW) is up and working.
  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.
  1. Make sure the afcrc-helper script is up and working.
  2. Open Wikipedia's list of templates for redirect pages (WP:TMR).
  3. Optionally, use this automated report of large redirect pages, and fix them.
  1. Make sure the Articles for Creation helper gadget (WP:AFCH) is up and working.
  2. Open Wikipedia's guidelines on notability (WP:N) and their subject specific variants.
  3. Open Wikipedia's guidelines on reviewing Articles for Creation (WP:AFCR).

Patrolling redirect pages

[edit]
  1. Make sure the Page Curation Toolbar (WP:PCT) is up and working.
  2. Make sure Capricorn (WP:Capricorn) is up and working.
  3. Open Wikipedia's guidelines on reviewing redirects.

Patrolling article pages

[edit]
  1. Make sure the Page Curation Toolbar (WP:PCT) is up and working.
  2. Open Wikipedia's guidelines on reviewing new pages (WP:NPPHOUR).
  3. Review any resources (WP:NPP/RES) for more detailed information, even for things only indirectly related to page patrolling.
  1. Open Wikipedia's guidelines on accepting edits.
  2. Make sure that you are actually viewing all edits – multiple edits (by the same user or not) could be made, and you might only be seeing the most recent one before the last approval.
  3. Check if the revision contains vandalism, copyright violations, or other obvious disruptive edits (as listed in the guidelines above). If not, just click "Accept revision".
