A favourite story of mine

Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius. Discussed here in rather high-flown language but the parallels between the Encyclopedia of Tlön and Wikipedia are too close to ignore.

Personal how to's

CharAss -- todo -- sandbox -- sb2 -- speedy

If you see a vandal at work, slap {{test}} on to the culprit's Talk page as the first action. Simply realising that they are being watched may be enough to put them off.

You can ask for speedy deletion {{db|reason}} of mistake article if you're the only contributor, so I've deleted "Uk std code 1252" for you free of charge. :) Mgm|(talk) 11:12, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

Use a leading colon to create a link to a Category table instead of placing the article in that category. Thus: Category:Wikipedia style and how-to - and this is a useful link for other How-To's.

Likewise, use a leading colon to link to an Image description page instead of putting the image into the article. Thus: Image:Adelaide O Bahn guided busway.jpg. Similarly for other language links: nl:Wikings.

See Wikipedia:How to edit a page#Links and URLs for links to Special: pages.

Wikipedia:Offline reports is a page I had difficulty finding - it is not in Special:Specialpages nor in Special:Statistics.

Dates will reformat to my own predilections if written as: 6 February 2005 or 6 Feb 2005. But not if written as: 6 February 2005 or 6 February 2005.

Number of edits

Unlike User:Pumpie who seems to want to be top editor in several different languages, I have no ambition to figure high up the Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits. But I would like to be somewhere - I have just downloaded the CSV file on 2005 Feb 5 and cannot find myself. I have now found this edit counter:

  • 5731 @ 09:20:03, 2005-08-09 (UTC)
  • 2583 @ 2005 Jun 1
  • 1026 @ 10:29, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)
  • 924 @ 21:56, 2005 Feb 9
  • 2 @ 08:19, 2005 Jan 1 plus a few as Anon before that
