As you may notice, I've got a collection of ] under the "In other languages" heading to the left (note: it's just a sample of them... I've got over 170 different accounts). I've started spending more and more time editing other language editions of Misplaced Pages to help maintain the massive amount of interwiki links. Often, when an article is created in another language and the proper interwiki link is added to the English article, the other pages are left in the dark. I like to help fix that, and will often follow an article across multiple encyclopedias just to make sure that they ''all'' are up to date. We're here to build a 💕 in every language, and cross-linking helps with that; I think it's something that too few people consider.


For those that are wondering if I actually ''know'' the languages that I'm editing in, the answer is no. I always provide edit summaries, but they are very language-neutral.. I also sometimes add images from Commons to articles that don't have any pictures at all or just have Fair Use images.

All my userpages look roughly the same, and link back to my English Misplaced Pages and Meta accounts. I've also standardized my signature across each account (just crossing my fingers that I've made it say "talk" correctly).

{{user serial comma:Yes}}


I'd also like to note that I don't generally create an account until I come across a need for it. My eventual goal is to have legitimate accounts on 50-75% of the ]; currently, there are 264, so my goal is 132-198. I'm in about the middle, and my wiki-career is far from finished. ;)

==Pet Wiki peeves==
Things that I don't like, and usually cause me to go straight for the Edit link.


===Contributions===
* Images should have captions, regardless of whether they are coded <code>thumb</code> or not. Why? Because the caption is used as the <code><img></code> tag's <code>alt</code> value, and if there's nothing specified, nothing is put there (thereby making it difficult for search engines and people who use non-standard browsing methods).
* I used to have a real "here are my contributions" page, but it became ridiculously long in the tooth, and don't want to keep it up-to-date. Look at my ] if you really care, I guess. I'm mostly a cross-project wikignome these days anyway.
* Periods in image captions when there is only a single sentence. I generally kill these on sight. See ].
* You can find information on my administrative contributions at ].
* HTML instead of XHTML. Generally, this doesn't matter, but if I see <code><nowiki><br></nowiki></code> tags (usually in infoboxes), I'll change them to <code><nowiki><br /></nowiki></code> tags.
* I'm also an administrator on several other wikis; you can see a full list at ] (or, you know, look to your right a little bit).
* Header capitalization. Only the first word should be capped, unless it is a proper noun. See ].
* "External '''links'''" when there's just a single link. C'mon, people, counting to ''one'' and realizing that one does not garner plural words isn't very hard. See ].
* Links in headings. It just looks bad. See ].

As a dedicated Wikimedian, I don't limit myself to just one project or just one language. user page // talk page admin • opining • matrix • fun • awards
39,000 This user has edited too much.


EVula's mop is named "Vera" This user is a bureaucrat on the English Wikiquote. (verify // user)


This user has been on Misplaced Pages for 18 years, 11 months and 7 days.

Hi, I'm EVula (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · moves · rights · renames · global renames).

You can easily spot my posts by my signature: EVula // talk // ☯ //

About me

Personality

I have a sense of humor. If you do not, that is your fault, not mine.

Interwiki links

Main page: User:EVula/opining/The Zen of Interwiki

As you may notice, I've got a collection of interwiki links under the "In other languages" heading to the left (note: it's just a sample of them... I've got over 170 different accounts). I've started spending more and more time editing other language editions of Misplaced Pages to help maintain the massive amount of interwiki links. Often, when an article is created in another language and the proper interwiki link is added to the English article, the other pages are left in the dark. I like to help fix that, and will often follow an article across multiple encyclopedias just to make sure that they all are up to date. We're here to build a 💕 in every language, and cross-linking helps with that; I think it's something that too few people consider.

For those that are wondering if I actually know the languages that I'm editing in, the answer is no. I always provide edit summaries, but they are very language-neutral.. I also sometimes add images from Commons to articles that don't have any pictures at all or just have Fair Use images.

All my userpages look roughly the same, and link back to my English Misplaced Pages and Meta accounts. I've also standardized my signature across each account (just crossing my fingers that I've made it say "talk" correctly).

I'd also like to note that I don't generally create an account until I come across a need for it. My eventual goal is to have legitimate accounts on 50-75% of the various Misplaced Pages editions; currently, there are 264, so my goal is 132-198. I'm in about the middle, and my wiki-career is far from finished. ;)

Now, all that said, my least favorite Wikipedias are, by far, the Urdu, Hebrew, and Arabic editions. Why? Because the damn right-to-left writing screws with my head every. single. time. Gah!

  • I used to have a real "here are my contributions" page, but it became ridiculously long in the tooth, and don't want to keep it up-to-date. Look at my recent edits if you really care, I guess. I'm mostly a cross-project wikignome these days anyway.
