MoxRox is an information technology engineer who is just learning to wiki. :-)
For now I will mostly be using this page as a wikipedia favorites list and personal notes page, to-dos and what not.
Pages I'm working on
[edit]Environment
[edit]- Wetlands Reserve Program
- Business Alliance for Local Living Economies
- National Coalition for Marine Conservation
- Global Warming - well, watching as things develop. Or not.
Political
[edit]- recess appointments. First GWB, then Clinton. (if I live that long.)
- Advise and Consent needs to be updated to show the use of recess appointments and links to critical discussion of the history and impact of recess appts - for example, is there a tendency toward greater use of the tactic, or has it pretty much waxed and waned? What about the shortening duration of recesses where the tactic is employed? (is that real or perception?)
To Do's
[edit]- Environmental vegetarianism - page is poorly organized and seems to have suffered POV disputes. Regardless of POV, it could be better structured. Take a look at this and see if I can improve it.
- add legislation to John McCain page
- make corrections to the legislation subpage of the John Kerry article
- add the other 2 4/4/07 recess appointments - Susan Dudley and ?
Useful help pages in wikipedia
[edit]Help:Category - good info on using categories, including querying
Wikipedia:Template messages/Format - among others, includes how to make nice colored boxes
Wikipedia:Dead external links - pages with dead internal links - BALLE is listed - find out why. - fixed the 404, still need to do the 301; but for some reason they are striking through entries instead of removing them from the list, so it still shows in "What Links Here."
Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons = The Rules.
Bug 6200: Linebreaks are mishandled in blockquote and li elements
Category:United States proposed federal legislation
Tools for MediaWiki
[edit]http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MWiki-Browser - tool for rapidly making a common change to a set of pages, for example changing the category assignment when a category name changes
