User:YellowAries2010

Hello. I am YellowAries2010. I live in my native Western USA. I have also lived in New England, the South, and the Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. I modify a wide variety of articles, usually just attempting to delete errors in spelling, syntax, grammar, punctuation and the like.

I follow soccer and gymnastics. This includes college, pro, and otherwise. I also have a renewed interest in motorsports, mainly IndyCar, NASCAR Cup Series and IMSA SportsCar Championship. However, my edits, which can be seen here, reflect a wide and random array of subject matter. My main broad editing interests include, but are not limited to, sports, news, and music.

More will be added as needed, especially as my knowledge of formatting increases.

This is the page for the user formerly known as YellowAries. I neglected to provide an email address for that page, and was eventually locked out by accident. I would delete that page if I knew how.

Tip of the day...

Redirect synonymous topic names

Many topics are naturally referred to by different names. For example, baby and infant mean the same thing. But Wikipedia doesn't have a separate article for each synonym (one article defining babies is enough). Therefore, Wikipedia includes a method for linking synonyms so that they lead to the same article. This is done using redirects.

To create a redirect, start a new page for the synonym and in it put only this:

#REDIRECT [[target page]]

...where target page is the name of the article the synonym should lead to. When a user clicks on a link with the synonym, he or she is automatically sent to the [[target page]].

Here is another example: Elizabeth II also appears under the titles Queen Elizabeth II, Elizabeth II of England, and Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.

Caveat: do not manually create redirects when you want to rename a page, because then the history of the page resides at the old title. Use the move tab instead, found at the top of every page, which also moves the history.
