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.

Area's of interest

 * Paperless office
 * Industrial Engineering, Methods engineering
 * 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.
 * - dictionary reference, use to link article to dictionary reference.
 * - how to reference
 * - how to make a second reference.
 * -35.58389°N, 148.97694°W - example co-ordinate reference
 * - when an article is confusing to a reader
 * Citing_sources
 * Verifiability, Verifiability
 * Forum_for_Encyclopedic_Standards

 * Article Issues

Todo list
This is my personal TODO list for the Wikipedia.
 * Setup this page, look for templates etc
 * Determine how to reference wikipedia books
 * Determine how to reference wikipedia university or courses.
 * Determine if there is a wiki for original research and POV which may be narrow, and determine if there are ways to link through to these.
 * Reread verifiable sources list as to the hierarchy of reference quality.
 * Look for a wikipedia best practices and more importantly figure out how to learn of new stuff.
 * 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.


 * Find or develop a macro that can be used to search for additional information on the internet that can easily be added to articles.
 * 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.


 * Userboxes - Add userboxes

Done list

 * Study citation and link methods.
 * Citations I created that need to be correct
 * methods engineering
