Some articles (and a template) I've worked way too long on.

Sorry for clogging up your edit history views... WP:NOW

I actually spent time on:


  • N95 respirator - Wrote the history section... and another history section (the latter of which is a sh*tshow).
I rate myself... a
  • Respirator - Wrote out the disadvantages section, and it's readable now! (Upgrade your HVAC asap!)
Was already rated a
  • Dust mask - It finally makes some darn sense.
I rate myself a . There isn't really much to add, is there?
Rated Pretty much contains everything the end user will ever need to know. (Which IMO, does not include testing.)
Also, that TB guide from the CDC is the worst guide ever... (best case: out of date, worse case: flat out wrong) but it's the only openly available thing that can be cited on Wikipedia. At least I was willing to take a look...
  • Respirator fit test - Which will stay unfinished until someone with a TDA-99M edits the article.
Just guess what device(s) I own!
Definitely not worth giving myself credit for that...

And finally...

Details, details...


Whoops! A broken signature from years ago. It should be fixed now... I hope. Parenthesis aren't allowed in usernames, right?

And Template:Current section is probably useless

Failed ping? Edit the comment and link to the user in the edit summary.

Finally, if you activate ClueBot III, don't forget to add a space...

If this ever happens to you, use the move function. Avoid cutting and pasting.
Copyvio info

Wasn't originally going to do copyvios, until I thought about turning an article into a GA... and well, got sucked in...

Copyvio detector. - CopyPatrol


You should Template:Excerpt as much as possible. Otherwise, have fun using Template:Copied!
Another reason to excerpt: Nobody ever clicks on the blue links. Seriously. Check the pageview statistics.
Plus: Ever heard of Template:CCBYSASource, Template:Creative Commons text attribution notice and Template:Text release? Even if you can copy, please don't do it.
(If you do have to do it: Place it below the reflist, and bullet point it. This way, people can compare the Wikipedia copyright notice at the bottom with the exceptions above.)
Check the alt-text of images.

WP:CLIST.

This is why NIOSH air filtration rating#Chemical Cartridge Classifications took so darn long to complete... and the resulting table is only borderline usable...

GFDL fun facts

[edit]
Rev-delete safe day:
2020 May 3
(and before, more or less)
What this means: If original work and copyvios are found after this date,
you cannot incorporate the original work without violating the GFDL.

  • Got a copyvio? Need to rev-del, but also need to incorporate newer content? It'll be illegal to distribute that Wikipedia article under the GFDL... for FOUR years!

J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.

  • Also, who can forget:

H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.

  • Luckily, the CC license is a lot more forgiving. And if one license is void, the other can take its place.

Section 2

[edit]
  • People who download the Wikipedia database under section 2 have less legal liability than anyone who edits Wikipedia
and trusts MediaWiki to do sections 4, 5, and 6 properly.

I lied earlier

[edit]
  • Did I say four years? I meant 4 years + 60 days for GFDL 1.3. If no one complains for 4 years + 60 days, you get your rights checkY back, no questions asked.

(b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

  • What a great license!

Articles to watch.
