Wikipedia

User:Dbiel

I have found Wikipedia to be a very useful tool and as a result was lead to help make it even better. I had been actively involved with SpamCop serving as one of the two admins of the SpamCop Wiki[1] and also as one of the five moderators of the SpamCop Fourms[2]

My current schedule no longer permits be to be active in Wikipedia, but I still believe in the value of Wikipedia and make use of it as a initial reference source.

What is Page curation?

Page curation provides two main features:

  1. the New Pages Feed, a dynamic list of new pages for review by community patrollers.
  2. the Curation Toolbar, an optional panel on articles that enables editors to review them more effectively.
