I'm WikiPrez. I am an undercover Wikipedian, quietly contributing and removing vandalism until the time comes to rise up out of the dark depths of cyberspace and take my rightful place as....er....never mind all that, here's the bullet:
If you need a fast learner and experienced programmer for a WikiProject or anything else, see if I'm available.
[edit] Background
A lot of myself can be told from my more-than-generous use of userboxes on this page. Wikipedia is an amazing site, helping with the noble quest of organizing the world's information.
[edit] Contributions
My main contributions to Wikipedia include edits to articles that need editing or cleaning up, tagged articles, and articles that I find when browsing or researching on the site. I also contribute to the United States Congress WikiProject. One of my first "real" pages was O'Neill House Office Building, try to find information if you can; it's not too easy.
My regular edits (if I'm not clicking on "random article") consist of RC patrolling.
[edit] How I edit
One of my favorite editing styles when I feel like I want to contribute to Wikipedia is to go to a random article, find one that interests me, and edit it, using another window (I use FlashPeak SlimBrowser, a tabbed browser, so it's easy to change windows) to see if Wikipedia articles exist. If they do, I add internal links to them. It's efficient and works for me, so I do it. Also, I check up on all the pages on my watchlist every day. Every time I edit a page, even minorly, I add it to my watchlist (I have it set to default). My theory is, if enough users monitor the pages on their watchlists, Wikipedia will continue to thrive and vandalism or incorrect edits will be corrected faster than people clicking on "random article." Both are excellent ways to contribute to the site.
