Articles I like to watch and help with

[edit]

New articles I helped create

[edit]

A little funny story here.. I thought Dump was being vandalized to have included a city called 'Dump, Belize' so I reverted the change, only to be re-reverted later by the prior editor who finally included the link to the article he just created. With a bit of more research online, I managed to find there was a city called 'The Dump' instead of 'Dump'. I thought it was a joke but apparently it actually seems to exists so I included a citation that had the words 'The Dump'. Initially I thought the other editor was vandalizing for fun but I realized it was an administrator and thought hmm why it may be true there's such a place called this, and so I couldn't reason why he would want to be vandalizing.. Actually he got this wrong and I helped correct the title after he initially started it ;-).. The reason why I'm watching Dump is to later try to engage the change I have on planning for cleaning up about "Storage cloning".. It has to do with computer science. (It's a mess and yes it's funny that the word 'dump' is used by computer professionals for decades now, but it's still used today)

Proposal for future Wikipedia editing

[edit]
  • Creation/cleaning up 'Dump (computer storage/cloning operation)', 'dd' computer articles (it's a total mess)
