Who am I?

• I am a geek of the first water, but prefer to be an IT Renaissance man.
• I am currently doing contract IT work in Boise, Idaho. Since, I generally work within IT/Web Departments; I am usually promoting the editing of Wikipedia on behalf of my employers. Although some of my edits may concern my previous employers, I am not in Public Relations and my contributions do not represent the views or opinions of my employers or any of their subsidiaries.

Vandalism

1. Revert first, then discuss
2. Use the Warn function in WP:Huggle, even for IP's - so they can be blocked.

• Wikipedia policies and guidelines
• Article maintenance - citation and verifiability
• User warnings

WikiProject Banners

1. Every article should have one; usually more. The more eyes, the better the article.
   1. If more than 3; place {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}; If WPBIO then add blp=yes to the shell
2. WP Banner Order
   1. If WPBio, then move it to first position. Take a famous tennis player; WPBio, Then Tennis, Then country of birth. Then state if US, Cities if they have a "Category:Sports people from {cityname}"
   2. if Museum: Museum, then {art|tech|natural}, then country, maybe city

Projects

I have a number of projects in which I have an interest. I have not joined them all. I am still learning about Portals, Projects, Templates and Categories; how they currently work and generally making sure that my areas of interest are up to standards and correct data-wise when possible.

Articles I'm working on in my sandbox

These are works in progress, but I would still be interested in input other wikipedians have to offer on them.

Tip of the day...

Custom signatures

Signatures in Wikipedia are identifying information that you put after writing a comment on a talk page. They tell other editors who wrote the comment and when. This can be done by writing ~~~~.

Signatures can optionally be spruced up with colors. To add color to your signature, go to the Preferences link at the top of the page. In the nickname box, enter [[User:MYUSERNAME|<font color="MYCOLOR">MYUSERNAME</font>]]. Replace "MYCOLOR" with a color you like, such as "red" or "green". Replace MYUSERNAME with your username. Finally, check the "raw signature" box, and save your preferences. Now, when you type four tildes ~~~~ in a talk page, your new signature will appear.

The color names that can be used in standard HTML are given in the standards document here. Using the hexadecimal RGB-style colors (such as #008000) you can choose any color you like from about sixteen million, not just the 140 colors that have names in standard HTML.

More complex signatures are possible; however, your signature as typed into the box above should not be unnecessarily long. Long signatures make pages larger and harder to edit, and are discouraged.
