To Whom it May Concern:
Since your 'checking me out', I thought I'd illustrate some typical WikiWork on my part by this example.
This is a typical Marathon edit mode for me, I try not to save unfinished edits when possible, and testing links in context and categories sometimes leads to unexpected places (e.g. Thought problem: Connect Measurement system to Recreational boating or Marina or Dredges (I managed somehow):
This is cut out of my contributions page, so it's in inverse order by save order (lowest on list are first saved, but last edit started), but in order with respect to when an edit was started—the times just don't indicate (are backwards) when the edit window was opened!
The first (last) entry is an add to the TO-DO list for another day of editing. The second a notification to the guy that started me off by asking me to review his changes in the old business 'Systems of mesurement'.
But the whole series (string of related edits) started in response to a talk posting about 17:17 (UTC) with this following article... which only got saved (AHEM) 6.5 HOURS and 10 major edits LATER!
23:46, 4 April 2006 (hist) (diff) Systems of measurement (Revise Intro to correct and extend to better lay reader understandability
Fra
nkB)
So...
23:46 less 17:20 is a chain of ten high quality (IMHO) edits in 6 hours and 26 minutes, Give or Take
All I can say is I'm trying to cut back, and it's actually getting a bit better. Editing in multiple windows is at times confusing and I've lost certain good edits that never got saved, so I'm safer with such linear edits. I just need to figure out when to back down and save out and start a new at whatever beguilling temptress waits for more attention!
