==Some statistics== |
|||
See [[/statistics]] |
|||
==Redirects== |
|||
At RfD one of the perennial reasons given for deleting redirects is "maintenance". In fact most redirects require minimal manual maintenance, and as we get better at it, less still. |
|||
For example [[Hacoversine]]. This redirect sat there, requiring no maintenance for 9 years. I just received a message to say the page was patrolled today (2015-10-15). The only reason it was edited was to allow the concept to be added to Wikidata - which would not apply to most of the redirects at RfD. |
|||

==Edits== |
|||
Generalist. |
|||
I would like to be writing great articles, but actually I'm an inveterate "fixer" of anything that I see that looks wrong - mainly links and copyedits. I have spent some time on [[GNU Free Documentation License|GFDL]]ing about 3000 images, and on some specific articles, for example [[Spaghetti House siege]] and [[Pedro López (serial killer)|Pedro Lopez]]. I also migrated a fair few biographies from [[Dictionary of National Biography|DNB]]. |
|||
Interesting articles: |
|||
* [[Whittington's Longhouse]] |
|||
