About Me

My Name is Joe Howski (shortend), and I live in Melbourne Australia

I try to make it a daily habit to look at one random topic on Wikipedia and learn something about it. If the topic is bare or rambling, I try do a little research on it to gain just that little bit more insight, which I add to the Wikipedia. Hopefully others readers will do the same, to make the articles rich and informative.

Web Sites I run

Area's of interest

My aims are
To improve my knowledge of mediawiki and wikipedia so as to better edit ClickWiki
To share my access to specialist knowledge in engineering and computers with the rest of the community.
To improve the accuracy and reference to articles posted at wikipedia.
To Better cross reference articles between various wiki's on the internet


Templates & Links I use for editing

Wikipedia is a large database of articles and how-to, this is a custom set article that I would often like to use in the articles I edit articles.

Todo list

This is my personal TODO list for the Wikipedia.

Since some wikipedians hold a NPOV about the very topic of NPOV, I was thinking of either writing or encouraging the writing of a greasemonkey script that intergrates alternative NPOV via alternate wiki web sites.
The objective is to craft the keywords for the search to exclude as many or the common irrelevant results.
For example let say you search google using the term "seven hats" but get "seven hats nintendo" in the results.
The idea is to precraft the searches so the majority of searches result in more targeted results.
Thus making it easier to update articles and for wikipedia readers to gain a deeper understanding of a subject.
