Dipl.-Inform. Erik Möller. Editor of infoAnarchy (http://www.infoanarchy.org). Webmaster of The Origins of Peace and Violence (http://www.violence.de) and Der Humanist (http://www.humanist.de) (German). Freelance writer, coder, analyst, researcher. Personal Homepage (http://www.humanist.de/erik/) (German). I am a sysop with developer permissions (which means you can drop me a message in cases of serious vandalism). I am fairly active on the mailing lists and try to take a look at most current policy issues.

I am the content partnership coordinator for the Wikimedia foundation as appointed by Jimbo Wales. If you have any ideas for other websites which might be interested in using our articles, or websites who might be interested in providing content to us, please let me know.

My stuff: /Platform - /Boilerplate texts - /Mozilla keywords - /Watchlist - /Wikinfo import script - /Positive feedback - /Notes
Useful stuff: Boilerplate request for permission - Public domain resources - LOC portrait photo collection (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/vvhtml/vvhome.html)
Funny stuff: /Favorite Wikipedia quotes

Take back the web! (http://spreadfirefox.com/community/?q=affiliates&id=597&t=62)

TO DO:

Organized:

Created:

Improved (hopefully):

Other:

TO DO:

  • Double-click editing
  • redesign of the navigation bar
  • "Watch this article" checkbox and "Watch new and modified articles" user preference
  • "Mark all edits minor by default" user preference
  • Go button next to Search button (recently improved)
  • Talk pages for anonymous users; more visible Talk page change notification
  • Namespace-specific subpage support
  • Wikipedia:Book sources
  • Improvements to deletion
  • "Ancient pages"
  • automatic table of contents generation
  • section anchors allow linking to individual sections
  • ability to edit individual sections
  • diff-link and history link in user contributions list
  • automatically add section titles to the edit summary
  • links in edit summaries
  • graphical edit toolbar

TO DO:

Feel free to take any of these tasks!

  • voting
  • (team) certification
  • wiki template syntax (Tim has laid the groundwork for that)
  • disambiguation needs to be somehow supported in code (#REDIRECT?)
  • improved redirect syntax
  • better interlanguage link system (Magnus hack status?)
  • external editor support
  • watch new and/or modified instead of just "watch new and modified", possibly improved auto-watchlist for discussions, improved watchlist (show revisions prior to last edit/last view)
  • improved banning:
    • IP blocks need to expire after m days n hours
    • users should be able to block signed in users and view their IP address on signup if the account has made no contributions older than n weeks.
  • Recent changes really needs a redesign. It works if you know how to use it, but if you don't, it's a usability nightmare, esp. the enhanced version. See also m:Recent Changes redesign
  • History search for keywords that shows the first diff where this keyword was added to (removed from?) the article
  • m:FileReplacement instead of / in addition to protected pages
  • Help: namespace, make user manual and key policies importable

If you want me to contribute more to Wikipedia than I can do in my limited spare time, you can pay me to do so: PayPal me some money to moeller at scireview dot de.



My current primary goal: Come up with a streamlined, integrated multi stage approval mechanism, based on the current Wikipedia:Featured articles framework and supported by MediaWiki.

My current secondary goal: Build the Wikipedia immune system -- defenses against astroturfing, bullying, neutrality erosion etc.

Declaration of bias:

  • I am opposed to irrationalism, be it in the form of organized religion, miracle healers or postmodernism.
  • I am strongly opposed to all types of "intellectual property".
  • I am in favor of personal liberties (speech, abortion, sex, drugs etc.).
  • I am in favor of democracy and capitalism.
  • I am in favor of a working social system.
  • I am not a pacifist.
