WikiBreak Notice Greetings from Los Angeles
If we have a difference of opinion, I'm open to discussing it if the issue is meaningful, significant and worth my time. I ignore comments containing hyperbole, profanity, nonsense, attacks, and attitudes/behaviors I personally find offensive; I also ignore ones that I don't think are worth the time to respond. If you do not like this, click here. I have very strong feelings about the importance of notability, policies and guidelines, sources and evidence.
Best wishes from Los Angeles,   // Timothy :: talk

Overall okay mood. Taking a semi-wikibreak.

I spend most of my time working on book articles, authors, and bibliographies about topics I'm interested in. The work I am most proud of are the bibliographies related to Russian and Soviet history I've created. I have also put considerable work into Bibliography of Los Angeles and Sexual violence in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The subjects I am most involved with are related to Russia the Soviet Union, World War I, II, and Cold War, and generally the swath of nations and peoples that run from Poland, the Baltics, and Russia, running southeast through Turkey and the Caucasus, Central Asia, and ending in Pakistan, northern India, western China, and Mongolia.

I enjoy working on the navigation elements and interconnectedness of Wikipedia, such as: Navigation lists such as indexes, outlines, timelines and years pages; See also and navigation hat notes; navigation templates and navigation sidebars.

I am a self appointed maintenance angel for Timothy (given name), Tim (given name), Timmy (given name); every Tim, Timmy, and Timothy has a place, and every Tim, Timmy, and Timothy should be in their proper place. This is critical for the survival of Wikipedia.

I watch articles generally related to:

  • History: the history of Russia and the Russian empire, the Soviet Union, and the Soviet bloc; the history of eastern and central Europe; Central Asia and the Caspian Sea; 20th century Germany and the Holocaust; World War I, II and the Cold War; the Sino-Japanese wars; general United States history.
  • Other: Los Angeles and California, UCLA and Los Angeles City College; The Doors, Velvet Underground, and Traffic; gold and silver age Russian literature; golden age science fiction; fascism and communism; Dungeons & Dragons and tabletop RPGs; Commodore PET and Altair 8800; accessibility and blindness; Blue holes; whiskey and tea; warships; colors, especially blue; bibliographies; glossaries. ...

I have some skill with MathML, LaTeX, C++, Python, Javascript, PHP, none with Lua. At one time I could write C well enough :) to make a living and had a painful 3yr encounter with 6502/6510 assembly language that left me traumatized. I've been casually learning about the Mediawiki software and the Wikipedia API, and investigating various database APIs. I also have some skill with Excel VBA. For the most part when I say "some skill", this should be interpreted as meaning "self taught hack that knows enough to be dangerous". It can be an embarrasing path but I occassionally arrive at the correct destination. My saving grace is knowing I'm a potentially dangerous self taught hack. Someday I might put a link up to my Github for Wikipedia tools.

I can "function" in Spanish (Los Angeles flavor), French, German, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Armenian (so so), and Georgian. By "function" I mean I know enough to work intelligently with the aid of a computer.

Much of the information here is to help my memory; if it helps others, wonderful. If you have a resource/page about Wikipedia or a good tool for working on Wikipedia, please let me know on my talk page, I hoard information.
