[edit] Wikipedia

Finn has been active on the english and danish versions of Wikipedia, with the first English wikipedia entry August 23 2002 and the first Danish February 11 2002. Among the articles I have added to are non-negative matrix factorization, ratio distribution, Niels A. Lassen, Kongens Lyngby and John Lykoudis.

Finn remembers C. Lee Giles as saying humorously "every scientist wishes to become a footnote": And indeed Finn has been "cited" on Wikipedia by user User:Fmccown as "Finn Arup Nielsen" in the Link rot article (version of 2006 April 16 20:50) with Steve Lawrence as first author. So now Finn is a footnote!

Finn participated in WikiSym 2006 in Odense and had a short talk in the workshop about Wikipedia research organized by Jakob Voß and Angela Beesley. The slides used for the presentation are available from the department archive: [2].

[edit] Research and tools

From Germany Jakob Voß writes the Wikimetrics blog about wiki research, that, e.g., has announcements and comments on tools.

"Blaming" tools:
- Wikiweise [3] – highlights authors in a article. This is not wikipedia but another wiki: example
- WikiBlame [4]
- Hauptautoren de:Wikipedia:Hauptautoren [5]
User edit countining:
- fnielsen on en
- fnielsen on da.

[edit] Name

"Finn Årup Nielsen" will probably be pronounced as:

written in the SAMPA phonetic alphabet [6].

[edit] Technical

One referencing system is using <ref>author, title </ref> combined with <references/> at the bottom. The Cite.php extension takes care of this referencing system, see meta:Cite/Cite.php

Furthermore, several templates support a consistent layout of the references, e.g., Template:Cite journal for scientific journal citations and Template:Cite news preferably for newspaper articles. The Template:citation is for general use.
