The buzzword of the week is "[[cabal]]". Here are some in the Wikipedia community:

{{Tools}}
If you need to work on lots of articles, to make small or similar changes on each page, then you may find '''[[WP:AWB|AutoWikiBrowser]]''' to be ''extremely useful''. It's an auto page-loader which automatically loads the next article on your list as soon as you save the one you are working on. Also, each time it loads a page it automatically executes the search and replace routines and other operations you've told it to do (like prepending or appending notices). Then you do whatever manual edits you wish to make to the page, and click save. And it has lots of other features. Only editors with 500 or more edits in the main (article) namespace are given the keys to this program (that is, you are required to register to be placed on a check page - the program checks for your name on the check page before proceeding). You can easily rack up over a hundred edits an hour with this tool.

{| style="float:right; margin:0; width:175px; background-color:transparent"
Edit summaries can be a pain, but did you know Wikipedia has somewhat standardized short forms for the common edit summaries? These can reduce the time spent summarizing your edits, so you can spend more time writing. See [[Wikipedia:Edit summary legend]].
|style="padding-bottom:0px"|{{Active Wiki Fixup Projects}}

You may also find standardized correction "marginal marks" useful (many are abbreviations). Here are a couple of links:

Would you like to be a Wikipedia decision-maker?
|style="padding-bottom:0px"|{{User:The Transhumanist/Wikipedia philosophies}}

Did you know that you are already a member of Wikipedia's two main "committees" which determine the nature of Wikipedia now and in the future? &nbsp; What am I talking about? &nbsp; ''You.'' &nbsp; I'm talking about you. &nbsp; You are already in charge...

That's right, you are already a committee member! The main decision-making authority of Wikipedia lies in the hands of all Wikipedians -- '''''you''''' -- and the two main places where Wikipedia's decisions are being made are '''[[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)|Village pump (proposals)]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)|Village pump (policy)]]'''.

Wikipedia is constantly changing. There are proposals being made at the ''Village pump'' every day which influence the very nature of Wikipedia, its policies, procedures, and features for better or for worse -- ''based solely on the input of the participants in the discussions there!'' The fate of Wikipedia is in ''your'' hands. So be sure to participate in Wikipedia's key decision-making at the ''Village pump''.

It's your privilege, and your responsibility.

I look forward to seeing you there.

== Current projects ==
=== [[Meaning of life]] featured article development drive ===
Someone hit this article with [[WP:VER]] and basically gutted the article. Most of the material got commented out, and can't be restored until citations are found for each fact. And since the brunt of featured article development is finding citations, we might as well take the article all the way. It's going slow, but we'll make it eventually. Feel free to join in.

=== [[User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom|Virtual classroom]] ===

I've been coordinating a wiki-school, called the [[User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom|virtual classroom]], for Wikipedians to teach each other how to become better Wikipedians and improve their wiki-skills. Many of the students come from the Admin Coaching program in their pursuit of adminship (to prepare for the often dreaded [[WP:RfA|Requests for Adminship]] approval process), and others are involved for general improvement as wiki-editors. The program has 5 graduates so far, each of whom have become Wikipedia administrators.

=== Content pages ===
From time to time, I do what I can to improve and refine the contents pages of Wikipedia. I was a key contributor to their overhaul. The main ones are on this navigation header bar:

{{Contents pages (header bar)}}

Although very useful, they are still incomplete. For example, the [[Lists of basic topics]] is growing slowly but surely and will eventually include lists on all major subject areas. And all the contents pages need to be updated periodically.

== Contributions / History ==

I've lost track of how many articles I've worked on, but my passion is projects (not necessarily [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory|WikiProjects]]), and it is on these I've applied most of my effort...

Early edits

:I learned about Wikipedia through answers.com in early 2005, but didn't start editing until October of that year, under the anonymous IP [[User:24.18.171.99|24.18.171.99]].

:During this time I:

::* worked on '''[[Meaning of life]]'''


::* began rewriting Procrastination, and my overhaul was later transwiki'd and converted into the wikibook '''''[[b:Overcoming Procrastination|Overcoming Procrastination]]'''''


::* created the '''[[Template:Philosophy navigation|Philosophy navigation footer]]'''


::* created the '''[[Glossary of philosophical isms]]''' (still needs some definitions filled in).


After about a thousand edits, on November 11, 2005, I created an account. As '''''[[User:Go for it!|Go for it!]]''''', I:


* joined the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy|Philosophy Wikiproject]]''' and overhauled the entire project page.


* created the '''[[Portal:Philosophy|Philosophy portal]]''', using the category page as a starting point (it looked a lot like a portal, so I moved it over and overhauled it). Had much help from [[User:Infinity0|Infinity0]].


* resurrected the '''[[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Usability/Main Page|Main Page redesign project]]''', which attracted a lot of participants, and resulted in the present '''[[Main Page]]''' design.


* created the '''[[Wikipedia:Main Page alternatives|Main Page alternatives]]''' department, for those who have special browsing needs, and for those who get tired of looking at the same main page design all the time.


* initiated the overhaul of Wikipedia's '''[[Help:Contents|Help page]]''', expanding it with an immense quantity of links gathered from everywhere, making it quite unwieldy, and then split it into its current 2-tier structure, turning the main help page into a menu. Of course I had a lot of help. Also, others have refined these pages to their current polished presentation.


* initiated the overhaul of the '''[[Wikipedia:Community Portal|Community Portal]]''', in the process creating the '''[[Template:Announcements/Community bulletin board|Community bulletin board]]''' (inspired by an idea provided by [[User:Renata3|Renata]]). My insistence on developing the Community Portal directly without using a draft, landed me in an '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Go for it!|RfC]]'''. Now I use sandboxes extensively (but not exclusively). :-) I slunk away with my tail between my legs and worked in out-of-the-way corners of Wikipedia for awhile...


* created the '''[[Wikipedia:Department directory|Wikipedia department directory]]'''


* redesigned the headers & instructions for the '''[[Wikipedia:Help Desk|Help Desk]]''', and to a lesser extent the '''[[Wikipedia:Reference Desk|Reference Desk's menu]]''' (others have made it look even nicer since then).


* resurrected the long dead '''[[Wikipedia:Tip of the day|Tip of the day department]]''', the output of which is displayed daily on the '''[[Help:Contents|Help page]]''' and the '''[[Wikipedia:Community portal]]'''. I wrote a complete set of departmental instructions, designed a method for the creation and approval of tips, and wrote a fair number of tips from scratch. Others have joined in on the fun, and we now have a collection of hundreds of tips on how to make the most of Wikipedia, and several ways to display them: including a randomizing template which displays a different tip every time you enter or refresh the page upon which it is displayed, courtesy of [[User:CBDunkerson|CBDunkerson]].


* created a '''[[Wikipedia:Tips|tip libarary]]''' which presents the tips of the day by subject.


* created the '''[[Portal:Health|Health portal]]''' (converting a redirect)


Got tired of the name "Go for it!" (sort of one-dimensional), and tried out various usernames until I settled on my current one.


* created the '''[[Portal:Thinking|Thinking portal]]'''.


Throughout my time on Wikipedia, I've done extensive work on lists and Wikipedia's main navigation header and its member pages. I'm still working on them.


* resurrected the '''[[Lists of basic topics]]''' which were gathering dust in the project namespace, and overhauled and moved the entire collection of lists to the article namespace and giving them their new "list" identities. I've added many lists to this collection, and created the standard heading format currently used by them. The template for the heading structure is called {{tl|BLT}}. This list collection is far from complete, and could sure use your help.


* overhauled '''[[Wikipedia:Contents]]''' from '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Contents&oldid=30380509 this]''' to '''''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Contents&oldid=45008892 this]''''', and then from '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Contents&oldid=60732211 this]''' to '''''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Contents&oldid=70743188 this]''''', providing most of its current information structure. Kudos go to [[User:Quiddity|Quiddity]] and [[User:Rfrisbie|Rfrisbie]] for refining the page and making it look really sweeeeet.


* overhauled the '''[[List of psychology topics|Psychology index]]''', based on the design of the Mathematics department's index, taking it from '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_psychology_topics&oldid=63038057 this]''' to '''''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_psychology_topics&oldid=63143086 this]'''''


* overhauled '''[[List of overviews]]''', expanding it to its present scope.


* overhauled the '''[[Wikipedia:Categorical index|Categories page]]''', expanding the link selection.


* helped refine the [[Wikipedia:Quick directory|Quick directory]], adding essential links, cleaning up descriptions, etc.


* currently in the process of dismantling '''[[List of reference tables]]''', integrating its contents into the overall list system (of which '''[[Lists of topics]]''' is the top page.


* I've worked on hundreds of other lists, including many list creations and overhauls. Way too many for me to track down easily.



After getting somewhat burnt-out on lists, I spent more time on other types of projects...

* Came across the Esperanza admin coaching project, and helped improve it.


* I tried to extend the concept and created the Admin School, but it got deleted in short order.


* The feedback on the above project and what was wrong with it inspired a better project idea: the '''[[User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom|Virtual classroom]]''', which spotlights one classroom assignment or topic of discussion at a time. Based on the messages I get, users find it helpful.


* With material garnered from the Virtual Classroom mentioned above, I created a '''[[User:The Transhumanist/Tools|Tools]]''' page, listing most of the tools and techniques I currently use for working on Wikipedia. I update it from time to time.


* Created a '''[[User:The Transhumanist/User page design|tutorial on user page design]]''', which is also a clearinghouse of sample wikicode, to help users save time in the creation of their user pages. It also includes a collection of snapshots of (that is, permanent links to) some of the more interesting user pages that have been created on Wikipedia.


* Helped to revamp the '''[[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee|Welcoming committee]]''', its various pages, and welcome message templates. Special recognition goes to [[user:Anthony cfc|Anthony cfc]] for page design, and to [[user:Audacity|Audacity]] for template programming. They were both inspired by the project and a source of inspiration.


* From the onset of the Virtual classroom, I started building a collection of lessons for it (see {{tl|VC lessons}}), initally from classroom discussions, but soon began to get offers of submissions from other Wikipedians! Then I began to encourage my students to write a lesson each as part of their training. I coordinated the proofreading and copy-editing of each lesson. And the collection just keeps on growing. For it I wrote the lesson [[User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom/Learning the ropes|Learning the ropes]].


* Coached [[User:The Rambling Man|The Rambling Man]], [[User:Dweller|Dweller]], and [[User:AGK]]. When I felt they were ready, I nominated each at [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship]], and each were granted admin status.


Having recovered from list burn-out, I began to work on lists again more and more, along with various other projects...


* Created a header navbar for the Wikipedia namespace, called [[Template:WP nav pages (header bar)]], for providing easier access to the Wikipedia community's directories, and through those to the community's support pages. Currently, it looks like this:

{{WP nav pages (header bar)}}


* Cleaned up and reformatted the pages on the above header bar.


* Expanded the [[Wikipedia:List of shortcuts|directory of shortcuts]], adding the "shortcut alphabet".


* Created the header navbar [[Template:WP help pages (header bar)]] for tying together and providing easier access to Wikipedia's help pages. Here it is:

{{WP help pages (header bar)}}


* Dismantled most of the huge "List of reference tables" which had grown into a list of lists. Folded it's contents (links) into [[Lists of topics]] and various subject-based lists. This was probably the most tedious and mind-numbing project I've done so far. Thanks go to [[user:Quiddity|Quiddity]] for finishing it off.


* On Wikipedia's introductory articles and tutorials, I added explanations of the importance of providing references and the consequences of [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|Wikipedia's verification policy]]. That way, newcomers are more likely to reference their contributions and less likely to be caught totally off-guard when their unreferenced contributions are removed or deleted.


* Continued developing the [[Lists of basic topics]], building [[List of basic geology topics|geology]], [[List of basic human anatomy topics|human anatomy]], [[list of basic radio topics|radio]], [[List of basic Renaissance topics|Renaissance]], [[List of basic biotechnology topics|biotechnology]], [[List of basic fiction topics|fiction]], [[List of basic machine topics|machine topics]] and expanding the ones on [[list of basic architecture topics|architecture]], [[list of basic chemistry topics|chemistry]], and [[List of basic life extension topics|life extension]].


* Revived the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Geography|Geography WikiProject]], expanded the [[List of basic geography topics]] with help from feedback from [[WP:FLC]], and started an index of geography topics with about 8,000 articles listed in it.


* Started the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists of basic topics|basic topic lists WikiProject]], to recruit others to help build this useful navigation subsystem of Wikipedia. Built and posted banners to advertise the project on all the relevant projects.


* A recurring problem encountered by lists has been competition from categories, and the assumption by many that lists and categories should not overlap at all. This has resulted in many lists being deleted for the reason that they simply duplicate categories, or the misassumption that "categories would serve this function better". A great many hours of effort of page development has been wasted this way, plus the time spent by those who participated in those deletion discussions. Those who were familiar with lists understood that lists had a great many advantages, and felt frustrated when lists were deleted out of bias by those who didn't understand them very well at all. I've worked to resolve this problem by clarifying in relevant guidelines the purposes of lists, and the synergy between Wikipedia's various navigation methods. See [[WP:CLS]], [[WP:LISTS]], [[WP:SAL]].


* Proposed and implemented the renaming of [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references]] to [[Wikipedia:Self-references to avoid]]. The guideline had become a recurring problem for lists, because many editors miscited it as a reason to delete lists that referred to themselves, even though such neutral self-references were not the kind of self-references that the guideline instructed to avoid. Editors were enforcing the guideline's title without reading the guideline, and were applying it to all self-references! This was especially frustrating to list builders, because Wikipedia's list guidelines specifically instructed to use self-references on the list pages to refer to the lists.


* I'm currently coaching 5 students.


I'm always on the lookout for new projects to sink my teeth into, or existing ones to overhaul. Suggestions are welcome.

Hello there, just wanted to leave a note of appreciation for the very useful stuff on your user page design section.
