14 days agot'll the 14^th!

Hi I'm Bawolff. I read Wikinews a lot and it is now my hompage (now an admin). You can also find me on wikipedia at w:user:bawolff and pretty much every other wikimedia project [this is my global username]. ~~My first (non-registered) edit I can remember is on Template talk:Ping~~. Or actually, on second though I don't think it is. (Well its me, but I'm not sure if its my first edit). Umm, what else. I hang out on #wikinews and #wikinews-en sometimes. I tend to do stuff in the background instead of writing articles. I'm also fairly good with templates, as well as javascript/css, and maintain some of the gadgets, and some other js used on the site. If theres anything I can do for you please don't hesitate to ask.

My picture of the week

This is just some picture I found, which I thought was cool (note: these are other people's pictures. trust me, i'm not that good). Full list
Oh look, I got lazy and stopped picking pictures. See other picts I like.

Random articles written by other people I like

Really cool articles from an old featured list (that all got demoted, but i felt the list should be saved somewhere so i put it on my userpage. Again, please note none of these articles are mine, I just think they're mostly well written):

To do list

Things to do if i run out of things to do (If you're looking for something to do, don't hesitate to do something on this list)

Make the help namespace not suck (I think we can learn from the wikipedia usability survey, as we suffer from many of the same problems, if not more so than 'pedia)
Change the meta template {{Country Infobox}} so it accepts an orientatiion paramater (so that a whole host of infoboxes could easily become horizontal). Prefereably intergrate with the tab box
- Try and make the whole overlapping tab thing work.
Finish MediaWiki:Gadget-easyPeerReview.js
Import Twinkle to wikinews
Investigate the possibility of polls
take advice from this insightful wc post
