Editor of the Week

[edit]

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected asEditor of the Week in recognition of your constant positive demeanor. Thank you for the great contributions!(courtesy of theWikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination forEditor of the Week:

I am always on the lookout for potential Editor of the Week candidates, for editors that fly under the radar, whose efforts are unknown except to a few. They don't make a splash, they don't emit a 'notice me' kind of behavior; they just quietly tackle the hard jobs. Tom.Reding is that kind of editor. A while back he "thanked me" via theThanks Notification for awarding the Editor of the Week to a fellow editor. So, I looked into him and found an editor that does many important WP improving things. He is a working editor (535,847 live and undeleted edits) that fixes, populates, corrects, standardizes, cleans, parses, tries, peruses, adds, formats, listens, expands, updates, corrects, creates, assigns and (my favorite) "consistifies". A member ofWikiproject Astronomy andWikiproject Tree of Life, he has recently been granted the page mover user right. He provides a human eye and understanding to "bot" problems that arise. In the area of redirect categorization he willingly puts his head together with other editors to work toward solution. A deserving recipient.

Doing

[edit]

{{Taxonbar}}related improve ment s (talk).
Fixingtypos &WP:MOS things.
Fixingvarious/CS1 maintenance &error categories (random wo rst offen ders).
FixingCategory:Pages using deprecated image syntax (so me ex am pl es).
Removing{{Orphan}} tags from pages with 3+ incoming mainspace links.
General article &citation cleanup of ~56,000 articles inCategory:Astronomy viaAWB & my good friend,regex. Fixes include, but aren't limited to:
      Parsing author & editor lists (talk,talk).
      Standardizing|year=/|date= citation usagewhere appropriate (talk).
      StandardizingL_☉,R_☉,M_☉, etc. usage. Adding those templates to articles, when appropriate (talk).
      Trying to standardize use of parsecs first, light-years second,where appropriate (talk,talk).
Taking bites out of theWikiProject Astronomy cleanup listing, and perusingWP:Vital articles/Physical sciences#Astronomy.
      Finding pages with unintentional links todisambiguation pages andfixing the easy ones. Sometimes I'm even on theleaderboard.
      Finding, adding, and formatting proper references to remove{{citation needed}} tags, reference errors, and hidden categories for astronomy articles.
Sometimeslistening to the sound ofWikipedia.

To do

[edit]

StandardizeMOS:DateFormat for astro articles (tbd).
Make~~article~~ stub onA3558.
Expand on the differences betweengalaxy groups and clusters (talk).

Not doing (anymore)

[edit]

Converting{{IUCN}}s & bare-cites/refs to{{Cite journal}} (talk,talk,talk) (sa ti sf yi ng ex amples) — need more consensus one way or the other.
Updating IUCN conservation status (talk) (so me ex am ples) — better & easier to do via Wikidata.
Populating the more-difficult-to-find{{Infobox galaxy cluster}} statistics (member #,velocity dispersion,ICM temperature, mass) fromjournal articles for themost popular Abell clusters — doing so forall would takeway too much time and wouldn't be as much benefit.

Never done

[edit]

Adding{{Redirect category shell}} to single-redirect-template #REDIRECTs (viaTom.Bot,BRfA denied).

Done (large and/or systematic changes)

[edit]

Luamatically standardize WP:TOL categories (talk) (T203355).
Populating, correcting, standardizingminor planets' categories &sortkeys from theJPL SBDB, usingAWB,C#, and lots o'RegEx.
Replaced typographic ligatures likeﬁ ﬀ ﬂ ﬃ ﬄ withplain-text, where appropriate (talk).
Added{{Taxonbar}} to all pages with a valid WikiData IUCN ID (talk).
Added{{Redirect category shell}} to multiple-redirect-template #REDIRECTs (ta l ks).
AWB Night-mode style.css
Category:Minor planets maintenance (talk)
Category:Astronomical objects by year of discovery maintenance (talk)
Category:Numbered asteroids maintenance (talk)
Helped reduce theCleanup listing for WikiProject Astronomy to the lowest it hasever been as a % of astronomy articles: 11.7% at inception, 31.7% on 18 February 2012, and now 9.2% on 19 May 2015. Done mostly via#REDIRECTing ~12,000 unnotable asteroid stubs (talk).
Helped with theCarloscomB cleanup.
Extended the "Earth-Moon-thing" size-comparison format to 8 more Solar System objects between the size ofEnceladus andTitania (talk).
List~~all~~ most pages in Category:Astronomy (here andhere); list of all numbered asteroidshere.
Resolveambiguities surroundingcluster designations for many NGC articles.
Template related:

Consistify & expand parameters & documentation for the{{IUCN}} family of templates to remove CS1 errors.

Added many needed parameters to{{Infobox astro object}}.

Added documentation to the {{NGCX}} family of templates.

Added|Velocity dispersion=,|Flux=, and|Distance (co-moving)= parameters to{{infobox galaxy cluster}}.

Add notes and helpful wikicode to all{{Infobox galaxy cluster}} parameters for clarity and consistent usage.

Created & transcluded{{Infobox supercluster}} to all superclusters.

Abell catalog related:

Turned the boring, ugly, unorganizedList of Abell clusters intothis very nice table while adding ra, dec, Abell richness, and BM type (inspired bythis heroic effort byUser:Dr. Submillimeter).

Added|Bautz-Morgan type= parameter to{{Infobox galaxy cluster}}. Populated it and|richness class= for allList of Abell clusters andCategory:Abell objects, respectively.

Created and assigned6 new categories for/to all Abell cluster richness 0-5.

Corrected all Abell cluster pages with{{Infobox galaxy}} to{{Infobox galaxy cluster}}.

Made{{Catalogs}} variable width so it looks nicer at the bottom of a page (talk), and added it to all Abell object pages.

Populated the easily gotten{{Infobox galaxy cluster}} statistics (α,δ,constellation,z,co-moving distance,x-ray flux) fromNED for all Abell cluster pages.

Organized theList of galaxy clusters andremoved synonymous usage of galaxy clusters with galaxy groups.

Formatting

[edit]

Columns:
- {{cmn|colwidth=15em|... }} → usually the best list-option—continuously determines how many columns best fit the page.
- {{cmn|3| * some * bulleted * list }} → splits that list up dynamically(!) into 3 (forced) columns.
- {{columns-start}} ...{{column}} ...{{columns-end}} → for custom column-breaks
- See{{div col}} for more variants.
{| cellpadding="0" border="0" |- valign="top" | [[Image:blah.gif|thumb|top|300px|Caption text.]] | [[Image:stuff.jpg|thumb|top|300px|Things.]] |} → is an easy way to lay pictures horizontally rather than vertically.
{{Clear}} → forces horizontal white space until next section, usually after a picture.
  → Non - Breaking SPace. Ascii chr 160, instead of ascii 32 (typical keyboard space).
[[File:Santa riding adinosaur withJesus with alightsaber.jpg|275px|right|thumb|Caption this]] → inserts a variable size picture and caption text.
<span> ★ <div> ★ <gallery widths="300px" heights="300px"> → (usually) prettifies things.

Citations & links

[edit]

User:Tom.Reding#Citations & links → links directly tosubsections of an article.
{{Anchor|Foo}} to be used to link to[[User:Tom.Reding#Foo]]'s in-page position.
<span></span> for[[User:Tom.Reding#Simpler section title]] linking when special characters are used.
<ref name="Reding">...</ref> ...<ref name="Reding"/> → to name your refs for easy reref'ing later in the same article.
{{Refimprove|date=November 2025}} or{{Refneeded|date=November 2025}} → use occasionally.
{{Citation needed|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} → use liberally.
{{Sky|03|28|13.8|-|20|44|40|321000000}} → links to wikisky (not whiskey). Put after references. 321000000= lightyears (for zoom level!).
{{tq}}makes nice-looking in-line talk-quotes.
[[Special:Diff/1]]/[[Special:Permalink/1]] → EasyWP:PERMALINK to diffs.
