This is a page for me to keep links and notes that I find useful, and want to keep handy, but won't use often enough to justify placing quicklinks on my user page.

The first edit to the first user page said "Nifty site you have here! It may be hard to get momentum going, but I like the general idea." Six years later, I think it is safe to say that we have momentum. SWAdair | Talk 10:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


Tip of the moment...
Editcountitis

Editcountitis, obsessive edit-counting disorder (OECD), is the mistaken belief that a Wikipedian's overall contribution level can be measured solely by their edit count. This is a phenomenon which some think may be harmful to processes such as requests for adminship, as well as to the Wikipedia community in itself.

The problems with using edit counts to measure relative level of experience are that it does not take into account a user's edit history prior to registering an account (posting anonymously), and that major and minor edits are counted equally, regardless of whether the edit is a typo fix or the creation of a full article. And edit counts give no consideration to the quality of the edits made.
