About
[edit]Hi, in my precious & scarce spare time I'll try and make some positive contributions to Wikipedia. As an architectural designer, my skills lend to organizing information for efficiency, readability, clarity & consistency.
Donating time as an editor is a constructive way to contribute to this vital internet tool I believe is too often taken for granted. I'm new to editing Wikipedia and am likely to make mistakes.
Please be patient with me and I'll try to extend every courteous civility I can.
Articles that interest me:
- UFO related topics
- Occupational burnout

"Wikipedia only works in practice. In theory, it could never work."
Understanding the vandal-fighting web[edit]Wikipedia works because of how many people participate in creating and checking its pages. All changes go through a virtual filter--a gauntlet--of intelligent computer and human review. Thousands of people are constantly scouring new changes, and millions of readers keep an eye out for anything that seems off. Because of this process, research studies have shown that Wikipedia is just as accurate as traditional encyclopedias, but its errors get fixed faster. We are living proof of the coders' motto that "With enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow". In other words, many hands make anything possible! 1. Edit filter (automatic pattern rejection) 2. CBNG (machine-learning artificial neural network bot) 3. Huggle, Igloo, Lupin's filtered list (human assisted regex/badwords) 4. STiki (cbng residual feed, missed vandalism, subtle vandalism--human assisted metadata and pattern based review) 5. Article watchlists, selective page and topic monitoring by users 6. Pending changes, live version delay, reviewed by autoconfirmed users 7. Semi-protection, prevents non-autoconfirmed users from editing 8. Full protection, prevents non-admins from editing 9. Official readers, journalists and subjects of articles who report mistakes in the news (not good!) 10. Random readers, millions of individuals who fix errors when they come upon them |
