Some important tasks that should be automatedEdit

I spend much of my time performing various tedious tasks that could be done just as easily by a Wikipedia bot. Here's a list of tasks that I want to automate someday:

About meEdit

This user is a member of the Association of Inclusionist Wikipedians.

The motto of the AIW is conservata veritate, which translates to "with the preserved truth".
This motto reflects the inclusionist desire to change Wikipedia only when no knowledge would be lost as a result.

chr-2This user is an intermediate constraint handling rules programmer.
pro-2This user is an intermediate Prolog programmer.
EBNF-1This user is an intermediate EBNF programmer.
Futhark-1This user is a beginning Futhark programmer.
SMT-LIB-1This user is an beginning SMT-LIB programmer.
Rebol-1This user is a beginning Rebol programmer.
ACE-1This user is an beginning Attempto Controlled English programmer.
GLSL-1This user is an beginning GLSL programmer.
 This editor is a WikiGnome.

I am the author of a natural language programming system called EngScript. I have also written a a multilingual programming language translator that converts several programming languages into several other languages. One of my long-term goals is to develop a semantic reasoner for Wikipedia using Constraint Handling Rules.

Why Wikipedia needs a better peer review system:Edit

A pending changes system already exists, but it is rarely used, so countless articles are still vulnerable to conflict-of-interest editing and long-term vandalism. Wikipedia often relies on administrator tools to prevent vandalism, but there is a chronic shortage of administrators in Wikipedia. A peer-review system could solve several chronic problems in Wikipedia, such as long-term vandalism and edit warring.

Some useful templates that I rely onEdit

Pageview statisticsEdit

My current Wikidata to-do listEdit

My current Wikipedia to-do listEdit

Computer graphicsEdit

Computational models of language acquisitionEdit

Describe other computational models of language acquisition based on statistical parsing, adaptive parsing, and grammar induction algorithms

Grammar inductionEdit

 

Redirect pages to createEdit

Important articles with no referencesEdit

(list of unreferenced articles without "unreferenced" tags)

Sections with unexplained cleanup tagsEdit

Typos to fixEdit

It is very tedious to search for these typos manually. Wikipedia could use a spell checker or grammar checker to detect these errors more reliably.

WP:Content forks to mergeEdit

References to clean upEdit

Possibly unreliable sourcesEdit

References to other wikisEdit

Things to refactorEdit

Missing articles and redirect pages to createEdit

My favorite programming tools and programming paradigmsEdit

Some topics I'm interested in:Edit

Pages that need to be disambiguated:Edit

List of technical issues that I want to fix eventuallyEdit

Some deleted articles that I am interested inEdit

I wish I were still able to read these articles, but they are now visible to administrators only.

The article was undeleted, but it was nominated for deletion again and deleted a second time.


About meEdit

I am an occasional Wikipedia editor. I sometimes correct spelling and grammar mistakes on the English Wikipedia. I also try to find pages that need to be merged, and tag them for merging as necessary.
