user:here

Hello from here. My interests lie primarily with:

• wikipedia community ( opinion of best direction, meta:Share watchlists )
• research about wikipedia ( meta:Wikimedia Research Network )
• furthering the evolution of wiki interface/procedure ( Wikipedia:WikiProject_Usability and Wikipedia:Deletion reform ).

Years worth of blogging to be found at [http://herebox.org herebox.org]. Formerly involved with the odp.

• web: [http://herebox.org herebox.org]
• im: most of the time // email first.
• irc: here ; occasionally ; EFnet ; freenode #wikipedia-en, #wikipedia-de, #wikimedia, #mediawiki, etc.

Areas I'm watching...

----

071120 . 3 years since first edit, yet recently but one edit in months. Fortunately?, the rise continues:

:Wikipedia hits #8 (!) on [https://www.alexa.com/topsites alexa], might it someday even surpass other socials?

----

061023 . Watchlist slowly morphing topically, todo: League of Automatic Music Composers, Jim Horton, more.. Learned to use CryptoDerk's Vandal Fighter with its regex rc filter to help monitor a dynamic IP user. The longer I am here, the more amazed I am that vandalism is remotely under control. Will need to find a quicker or more effective way to scan diffs.

----

060817 . Turns out one now needs verification to gain access to the rc patrol irc channels such as [irc://irc.freenode.net/vandalism-en-wp #vandalism-en-wp] (ed: though not for [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-en-vandalism2 #wikipedia-en-vandalism2]). I am astonished at the greeting: Posting Logs = Banned from VCN!. The Vandalism Control Network - [http://www.countervandalism.org/ countervandalism.org] - is an off-site wiki holding the keys to a top layer of defense on wikipedia. Further, I find that [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-en-admins wikipedia-en-admins] returns unable to join channel (invite only), and this opt-in requirement for (detailed) individual edit statistics. There is more and more seperation between the admins, the users, and the viewers. This is nomic at work!

----

060504 . very few edits due to travelling and successful move to Berlin. uploaded first image, :Image:Cavellini-sticker.jpg, to commons. watching bureaucracy more than the articles themselves. perhaps I can write a few papers dazu.

----

060301 . [http://en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org] hits one millionth article, meanwhile the daily Alexa global traffic ranking was seen as low as #13 (Jan 29th), down from the 120s a year ago. Watching wikipedia grow is way more fun than sea monkeys.

----

060201 . [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Radiant%21&diff=prev&oldid=36591604 1000th] [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits?user=here&dbname=enwiki edit] (385/245/324 main/user/proj; 664/351 article/talk) . started Guglielmo Achille Cavellini, shared full watchlist at user:here/watchlist. also Drop Bass, Electronic music, Snowboarding -- would like to work on collaborative instructional progressions -- see also American_Association_of_Snowboard_Instructors.

----

051105 . Green Tortoise, Burning Man, Church of the SubGenius, LambdaMOO, Backpacking (travel) Signed on over at m:Wikimedia Research Network and Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikidemia, both partially focused on facilitating interaction with academia. m:Semantic MediaWiki has potential; similarly, lets make watchlists optionally public for network analysis (interest clouds, user-webs). Support Wikipedia:Pure wiki deletion system. ([http://kohl.wikimedia.org/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits?user=here&dbname=enwiki edits][http://tools.wikimedia.de/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits?user=here&dbname=enwiki edits] en:264/m:29, pride in efficiency)

----

051013 . I've been greatly enjoying myself here, but simply cannot believe that watchlist RSS feeds are not already a reality. Please stop by m:Syndication feeds and add a comment if you'd like to see watchlist RSS feeds, and lets figure out how to make it happen. // Also added :Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Carleton College, anybody else out there?

----

050826 . meta, tresor, berlin, mail art, Guglielmo_Achille_Cavellini, Genesis_P-Orridge, rojo (deletion threatened!); we need more [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Syndication_feeds syndication] feeds! thanks wiki_alf

----

050120 . Nothing major here yet, nomic, tetris (maybe expand quadra), Solar eclipse (maybe expand on 1999, 2009, or 2010 eclipses) // all already exist so far. Should be fun to fill in details.

----

041118 . [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Tutorial_%28Editing%29&diff=prev&oldid=7667325 first edit]
