User:PleaseStand/Profile

I am a Wikipedia editor who has contributed to articles about technical subjects – electronics, computer science, construction, and related fields. I am also a MediaWiki developer with +2 access. I began editing under this username in October 2009, when I added some information to the article NEMA connector. You can leave a message for me at User talk:PleaseStand.

Content work
I often correct spelling, grammar, usage, and style issues in existing articles and sometimes create or expand new articles. Some have appeared on the main page. Did you know...
 * ... that Columbia University failed to turn a profit on Fathom.com, an early online learning website?
 * ... that the cheater plug has been used to remedy ground loops in audio systems, with reckless disregard of electrical safety?
 * ... that fume hoods are not biosafety cabinets, and vice-versa?

Technical work
I have created several user scripts that simplify or enhance common Wikipedia editing tasks. I also sometimes answer questions at the help desk or the technical section of the village pump.

List of user scripts

 * References segregator
 * Temporarily moves footnotes to a separate text box on the edit screen, adding them back in when the page is saved. (For use with the source editor, not VisualEditor.)


 * Comment highlighter
 * Highlights comments you had posted on talk pages.


 * User info
 * Adds some extra information to user and user talk pages: gender, rights, account age, and edit count.


 * Hide Vector sidebar
 * Hides the page's sidebar, allowing you to expand it only when necessary. (For use with the default "Vector" skin.)
