I've also done many universities, including [[University of Maryland|UMD]], [[Boston University|Boston]], [[University of Arizona|Arizona]], [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill|UNC]], [[University of Connecticut|UConn]], [[Pennsylvania State University|Penn St.]], [[Johns Hopkins University|Johns Hopkins]], [[Howard University|Howard]] and [[Northern Illinois University|NIU]]. Beyond that I like to spread my edits around and vary them. − − I put a lot of work into [[Nigeria#Structure]] - where I described the structure of the executive, judiciary and legislature. The judiciary is probably the most detailed part I have, simply because I'm most interested in judicial aspects. Ditto with [[John Jay#The Jay Court]]. − − ====Templates==== − I have created a few templates, the ones I'm most proud of are: [[Template:Template]], [[Template:Baseball|Baseball]], [[Template:USState]], [[Template:NBA]], [[Template:NFLDraft]], [[Template:Officeholder]] (and a bunch of sub-pages for that), [[Template:Supreme Court]] (and every subpage from the Jay to Roberts Courts), [[Template:MLBTeam]] (which I've added to every MLB team) and [[Template:University]] (which I have put on about 131 articles so far). Some templates that I did not create but I did do a lot of work on are [[Template:Country]] and [[Template:Taxonomy]]. − − ===Categories=== − I don't work much in this area, but I did help [[User:TK]] clean out [[:Category:Navigation box]] (which was full because of missing <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki> tags on templates - this took a while to find everything, and I also worked a lot on cleaning up [[:Category:Information technology]] - it's now much cleaner because there are specific categories and pages are better organized. − − ===My editing style/preferences=== − Basic page format: − <blockquote><pre><nowiki>Body − ==Notes== (if there are references not used with <ref> tags − ==References== − ==See also== − ==External links==</nowiki></pre></blockquote> − The above is the same as the format in the [[Conservapedia:Manual of Style]], and it makes the most sense. References are most pertinent to the article text itself, so they go first; see also links are internal, so they go second, and external links go last. − − As far as minor edits go: I do not use [[French spacing]], and I usually remove it where I see it (the wiki software renders it as one space anyway, so it's just an extra character); I also remove [[serial comma]]s. − − References always go outside grammar marks ([[punctuation]]). − − Punctuation does not always go inside quotation marks. For example, periods. If the text enclosed within the quotation marks is a full sentence - the period goes inside the quotation marks. "John said, 'My name is John.'" If not, then the period goes outside: "John said that he was '17 going on 18'." − − Images, unless they are within templates/tables, should always go in thumbs - they should not stand alone. − − Large blocks of text should usually be split up by sections - no one wants to read what looks like 2 paragraphs with 50 sentences. Wiki sections allow emphasis to be added ''and'' they allow clear organization. − − ==My Computing World== − I'm a pretty big fan of [[Mac OSX]] Leopard, but before it came out I was definitely an [[Windows XP|XP]] guy. I think that Spotlight just puts Macs miles ahead of PCs. I use [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]], [[XCode]] (for python) and Smultron (for [[html]]).
