Intro

[edit]

Saga City is a pedant and delusionist who was born in the City of Bath, Somerset[a] (not Bath, Avon)[b] on October 9, 1947 and was christened on the first Sunday of 1948 at Church of St Andrew, Curry Rivel[c]. After leaving SCGS his first place of work, in 1964, was No.1 King William Street, London where his boss was Peter Fleming who was not there during the early days of Saga City's employment as he was at the funeral of his better-known younger brother Ian.

His first contribution to Wikipedia was on 20 November 2004 – about twelve months before he had a broadband connection; looking back he wonders how he put up with the slow access.

George Orwell’s six golden rules

[edit]
  1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
  2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
  3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
  4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
  5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
  6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Stuff

[edit]
Why have lists when there are categories?

Lists on Wikipedia have three main purposes:

Information:

Lists are a valuable presentation format, especially the structured list. Examples include lists organized chronologically, grouped by theme, glossarized, or annotated.

Navigation:

If a user is browsing without a specific research goal in mind, they would likely use the See also lists embedded in articles. If the user has some general idea of what they are looking for but does not know the specific terminology, the general topics lists (outlines and indices) would be most useful.

Development:

Outlines and indices give an indication of the state of the 'pedia, the articles that have been written, and the articles that have yet to be written (shown by red links).

Like categories, lists are great for keeping track of changes to subject areas, using the Related Changes feature. Unlike categories, lists are centralized, providing direct control over the contents. Lists also allow detection of deletion of pages from them (the list item will "red link"). Another advantage of a list is that changes can be tracked in the page's history, while changes to categories cannot.
