I am a WikiOgre

Or at least that's what they call me...

See, a WikiOgre is "an editor who goes for long stretches making few or no edits, but for short periods of time and in brief spats makes large edits, complete rewrites, or even new articles. The WikiOgre may otherwise make minor edits, such as copyediting or vandalism reversion, over the course of everyday perusal. He only goes looking for trouble when his schedule isn’t full and something has ignited the passion to edit. In other words, every once in a while the WikiOgre goes on a rampage, but most of the time he just sits around in his cave and eats the random passerby."

Now, I don't necessarily like the implied comparison to Shrek, (even though I am a large man, I'm a bit sensitive on that...) I prefer to think of my activity as a wikibinge. I go for long stretches where all I do is copyedit the random article that I see in my daily use of the project. But every so often, I come out and patrol AfD and take on a project or two.

Tip of the Day

Title searches

You can focus your searches by using the intitle: parameter. Here's how:

(1) In the Wikipedia search box, type the word intitle followed by a colon, then the word or phrase you are looking for. When you click on "Search," then, you'll be presented with a list of articles that have your search term in their titles.
(2) You can also search for one word or phrase in the title and for others in the text of the articles. For example:
Query Result
intitle:airport All articles with airport in their titles
intitle:international airport Articles containing the two words international and airport anywhere in their titles—which will give you a list that includes, for example, the article World's busiest airports by international passenger traffic
parking intitle:airport Articles with parking in the text, and airport in their titles.
intitle:"international airport"   Articles containing the exact expression international airport in their titles.

An even more powerful tool for searching titles is Grep. It lets you search titles using regular expressions, and in the results it lists the titles only.
