Slysplace is a semi-anonymous Wikipedian with an (occasional) multitude of interests and odd knowledge who insists his writing to be edited mercilessly. Although I often use automated tools I am not an admin, a bot or bot operator (nor do I wish to be) and occasionally do fix and write things manually. There are currently 6,823,759 articles on English Wikipedia. Which one are you concerned about?

Wiki Projects I haven't necessarily joined all of these, but do participate or have participated in the following projects: NFL : The kind of project that REALLY makes you wonder why you began to edit anyway... NHL : another massive draft series undertaking I'm not sure why I took on! Photography : More of a source of reference for me as an avid amateur photographer but rarely do I help it. Florida : Of interest to me as my home state and I like to vacation in my backyard. Tropical Cyclones : I deal with them all day every day, editing seems a COI. Woodworking : I've read most if not all of this, cleaned up some of it. Guitarists : I no longer play so at best I've assisted in luthier stubs cleanup.

Redirects A redirect is a page that has the sole purpose to automatically redirect readers to a differently named page; to take the reader where they really wanted to go. Redirects allow a topic to have more than one title. Redirects are used for synonyms, abbreviations (initialisms), acronyms, accented terms (diacritics), misspellings, typos, nicknames (pseudonyms), scientific names, etc. To create a redirect for the term "Oof": Type Oof in the search box, press ↵ Enter Click on the redlink for Oof that it presents In the edit window that appears, type #REDIRECT [[Foo]] on the first line to make it lead to the article Foo Redirects should be organized in to categories too. Each redirect can have up to seven redirect categories. Categories go on the third line of the redirect. (Note: Plant has a subcategory within the category of scientific name; enter plant after a pipe). Here are two examples of a redirect category using a category template: {{R from birth name}} {{R from scientific name|plant}} Preview your new redirect before saving it. Make sure: There is a big right-facing arrow to the left of the bolded name of your target page name. That your target page is bolded in blue (if it is red, go back and double check your target name in the edit window). That your redirect category has rendered properly and that the boilerplate it presents makes sense.
