User:SherlockEdits
SherlockEdits is a wiki editor who works across different subjects and projects, with a focus on improving articles, fixing problems and helping wikis become more complete, accurate and easier to use.
About
SherlockEdits is a general wiki contributor who enjoys finding pages that need improvement and turning them into clearer, more useful articles.
Their edits are not limited to one subject or type of article. They may work on anything from historical information and timelines to technical documentation, lists, formatting, references, images and general article cleanup.
SherlockEdits is particularly interested in taking unfinished, poorly organised or broken pages and developing them into properly structured articles.
What I edit
SherlockEdits works on many different types of wiki content, including:
- Expanding short or incomplete articles.
- Fixing broken or difficult-to-read formatting.
- Improving MediaWiki tables and layouts.
- Adding useful historical information.
- Creating and expanding timelines.
- Correcting mistakes and inconsistencies.
- Organising information into clearer sections.
- Adding references and sources.
- Improving lists and databases.
- Documenting changes, events and historical developments.
- Adding appropriate images, logos and other media.
- Fixing outdated information when reliable sources are available.
- Improving articles that have been left unfinished by other contributors.
- Creating new articles when important information is missing.
Recent work
One area SherlockEdits has recently worked on is the history of UK television, including Sky UK channel lists, historical channel launches, regional services and television branding.
This includes work on:
- Historical Sky channel lists.
- UK television channel timelines.
- Channel launches and closures.
- Historical channel numbers.
- Regional differences between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
- Television channel rebrands and changes in identity.
However, television is only one of the subjects SherlockEdits works on.
Editing philosophy
SherlockEdits believes that a good wiki should be easy to read, easy to navigate and easy for other editors to continue improving.
When encountering a page that needs work, SherlockEdits aims to improve the page rather than simply leave the problem for someone else.
This can mean anything from fixing a single formatting issue to completely reorganising and expanding an unfinished article.
The goal is to preserve useful information while making it clearer, better organised and more useful to readers.
Goal
SherlockEdits' goal is to become a well-rounded editor who can contribute to any wiki project that needs help.
Rather than being associated with one specific subject, SherlockEdits aims to be known as an editor who can find something that needs fixing, understand what is wrong, and help turn it into something better.
The long-term goal is to contribute to a wide variety of wiki projects, create and improve useful articles, help maintain existing information, and leave pages in a better state than they were found.
Projects
SherlockEdits may work on:
- Articles that need expansion.
- Drafts that need development.
- Pages with broken formatting.
- Historical documentation.
- Lists and timelines.
- Technical or informational articles.
- Wiki maintenance and cleanup.
- New articles and unfinished projects.
