I use this page to list and organize current projects and goals that I am (maybe) working on. I returned from a long Wikipedia hiatus in April 2020 and am still working on cleaning up my excessive list of ideas. Your thoughts and feedback are always welcomed on my talk page.

Things I'm wondering about

[edit]

(if you have any thoughts on these, please feel free to open a discussion on my talk page. this is just me thinking out loud.)

  • As a software developer, I'm a big fan of git for version control. Coming back to actively editing Wikipedia has made me think about this quite a bit. Wikipedia has its own version control system which seems to be approximately the same it was ~15 years ago when I started editing. There's a page I want to make major edits on right now, but there's no way (that I know of) to check out a "branch" or something along those lines and work on the content alone, so that I don't have to worry about a "merge conflict" (edit conflict) until I'm ready to deploy (publish) my changes to production (the live version of the article). Is there some way to automatically pull the live version of the article down onto my local computer to make edits and then deal with any merge conflicts in a git-like fashion? Would such a tool be widely useful if I invested the time into building it? Is anyone else working on a tool like this? Any and all comments appreciated (again, please leave those on my talk page).
  • Another software development related thing: articles that are clearly self-promotional autobiographies should be easily caught or flagged at a decent rate based on some sort of NLP / textual analysis. Is there a bot that already does this sort of flagging focused on new articles? Can I get notified by this bot any time someone creates a biographical page that has this giveaway style of self-promotion? (thought inspired by Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kryss_Shane)
  • When vandals edit from a mobile device, does the interface adequately notify them when they get warned on their talk page?

Mysteries from French Wikipedia

[edit]

French Wikipedia has a large page called "Vigne" that does not appear to have a direct English Wikipedia equivalent, despite the fact that it translates to "Vine" in English. The English Wikipedia page Vine has the equivalent article Plante grimpante], which literally translates to "climbing plant" but auto-translates to "vine". I am having a hard time determining if there could be an English Wikipedia page to link Vigne back to. It seems like it should either be linked or translated given the fact that the French article is so huge. (Noted when copyediting Nissan-lez-Enserune.)

Things I've learned from French Wikipedia

[edit]

Someone just replied to a question I asked on a talk page there, and I noticed the indented replies have this really nice formatting with some light coloration to help distinguish the level of indentation for each subsequent reply. Why don't we do this on English Wikipedia or at least make it an option?
