This user runs a bot, DASHBot (contribs). It performs tasks that are extremely tedious to do manually.

This user is proud to be a resident native citizen of the U.S. State of Vermont. This user reviews dataset edits for ClueBot NG to help automatically mass revert vandalism on Wikipedia.

• I run my own bot, DASHBot, which does a variety of tasks. See here for a list.
• I periodically make changes to the Edit Filter: Responding to false positive reports and browsing the requested filters. here is a log of the changes I've made to the Edit Filter (some users will not be able to see some of the detailed changes, for security purposes).
• I have an account on the Wikimedia OTRS system. I am not very active there, but I do periodically log on to answer emails sent to the foundation.
• I have an account on the Wikimedia toolserver. The toolserver hosts DASHBot, online tools, and a partial copy of the Wikimedia wiki databases. See a full list of my toolserver projects.
• I create and maintain reports for Wikipedia:Database reports and ocasionally Wikipedia:Dump reports. (See a list here)

• Get Toolserver stuff back up and running.
• Go through this dude's flickr.

• Re-implement NFCC9 bot.
• Move all crontab tasks on Nightshade to cronie.

• Remove |needs-image= from Film articles that have sufficient images.

• I like being a garbage person who likes to be a dick

Done

Y Rebuild CatTrack Database

Y Whittle away at Category:Film articles needing an image

YRebuild script to use http://movieposterdb.com

YBuild/Test/Implement a bot to move reviews from {{Infobox Album}} to {{Album reviews}}

Y Re-write wikiproject_watchlist.py to use recentchanges table.

The Wikiproject Watchlist is a tool designed to help wikiprojects keep track of their articles. It is made to look and feel similar to the watchlist that wikipedia users have access to. It accepts a wikiproject baner template or category.

Hot Articles produces the most edited articles that are in the domain of a cetrian WikiProject, over a certain period of time. It has an API that User:HotArticlesBot uses to generate it's lists.

Cat Track logs the number of pages in a category over time. It then produces a graph showing the population of that category, which is intended to be useful in monitoring the status of backlogs. I use the google visualization API, so its nice and intuitive (although it does require flash) See the page tracking the number of unreferenced BLPs as an example. The tool also has the option to export the raw data (in CSV and WikiText format).

This tool is in development: intended to create graphs for use with Sock Puppet Investigations. Currently it is limited to administrators on the English Wikipedia (users must log in using their TUSC account). It relies on Google's visualization API, and crashes when users have many edits (because it renders the scatterplots client-side). I don't know, either, how useful it may be.

This tool ties together Google Maps and the wikipedia API. It allows users to search within Google Maps, drag and drop pins, and then save to Wikipedia in one click. It's still kind of buggy and I'm not sure how useful it really is. Anyways, if you want to see something improved/implemented: leave me a message on my talk page.

Example: Output for User:Example

This was an idea I played with a while back. Basically, I was playing around with X!'s (awesome) edit counter tool and was given an error that the request I'd given had taken up too much memory. I found out that this happened because X!'s tool pulls all of an editor's edits into memory, and then computes the edit time graphs (the bars that indicate how many edits you've made to which namespaces by moth). I decided it'd be nice to see if I could do this entirely on the database side, saving Toolserver resources. I did, and it's faster too! I haven't gotten X! to use it yet, though.
