Ref reform: Vote for Bugzilla:5997, Bugzilla:2745, and Bugzilla:12796 per this discussion.
On writing: read The Elements of Style (full-text) and George Orwell's essay Politics and the English Language. If there are other good essays available on the internet, I'd love to see them.
- Along with Orwell, Bertrand Russell is another classic exemplar of plain writing, saying what you mean without bullshit. --Geronimo20 (talk) 13:31, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- Did you mean to link his essay How I Write? II | (t - c) 17:54, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] User your Bugzilla votes!
- Bugzilla:12796 -- allow us to create a "base" footnote, so that we can use named footnotes in-text.
- Bugzilla:7988 -- create a list of primary contributors to a page (preferably by size as well as edits)
- History options -- see discussion over at persistent proposals (permalink).
-
- Possibly try this Greasemonkey history enhancer.
- Filtering certain user's contributions to an article, sorted by date, size, ect. Filtering history for edits of only a certain size.
- A way to put certain sections on my watchlist i.e. controversial information.
- A way to track users so that I automatically know if someone is nominated for admin or something similar and can chime in.
- Downloadable data spreadsheets available.
- More ways to hold users' accountable for questionable activities -- i.e., a way to easily access complaints and flagged edits.
- Better ways to access people's good edits, in order to separate spellcheckers and real contributors.
- Proposals: toolbar of quick links, acknowledgements section added to talk pages
