We need people like these. The one at far left is being punished for trying to explain what accessibility means, and why it is a bad idea to deliberately ignore it

Redrose64 is a Wikipedian who has found that whilst there are many excellent articles, there are still some which could do with improvement. Not all are accurate or reliably sourced: this anon gets the idea. Thus, I decided to become an editor. My primary concerns are coverage of the British railway system, and certain records and their labels; hence the userboxes at right.[bad style - changes from third to first person in same paragraph] Every so often something annoys me and I become something of a

gnome. My platypoid tendencies occasionally manifest themselves in other ways (a b c d
).

About me

This is not me
This is not me either
...or are they?

Just so that you know: I do not appreciate being called a racist or a sexist, even to my face. Evidence is required.

What do I do?

software engineer
.

I am a

computer programmer by profession, with diverse interests in many apparently unrelated areas. I've tried to show that by means of userboxes; unfortunately, if formatted as a single column, it turned out to be rather long but was still not exhaustive. Since it got a bit silly, I've shunted most of them into a siding
. A few have been retained, placed alongside relevant paragraphs as illustration.

My programming skills are mainly in DataFlex and PFXplus (also known as Powerflex). I also have experience in HTML.

{{Wiki}}This user is an intermediate writer in the MediaWiki language.

This page might look messy; just as I worked out how HTML is done, I find Wikipedia with its strange ways of doing lists, tables etc. - and I can't always find the

template that I like. However, hopefully my contributions
are much neater.

You won't find me on TubeFace or SpaceBook; I don't tweet, blog, share files or anything else like that. I know that some people have great fun doing such things, but it's not my bag.

About my computer

duress
.

Not so long ago it was state of the art. But no longer. I can't keep on buying new kit just because some silly software salesman in Seattle says that their stuff needs it. So, by doing nothing, I move backwards.

A red queen, yesterday;
but not with me

Just at this moment, somehow or other, they began to run.

... they were running hand in hand, and the [Red] Queen went so fast that it was all she [Alice] could do to keep up with her: and still the Queen kept crying 'Faster! Faster!' but Alice felt she could not go faster, though she had no breath left to say so. The most curious part of the thing was, that the trees and the other things round them never changed their places at all: however fast they went, they never seemed to pass anything. ... till suddenly, just as Alice was getting quite exhausted, they stopped, and she found herself sitting on the ground, breathless and giddy. The Queen propped her up against a tree, and said kindly, 'You may rest a little now.' Alice looked round her in great surprise. 'Why, I do believe we've been under this tree the whole time! Everything's just as it was!'

'Of course it is,' said the Queen. ... 'It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!'

— Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass, and what Alice found there

Why Redrose64?

This user is from the Real Lancashire
Roses don't have to be red

The red rose is the badge of the Duchy of Lancaster and my family mostly come from Lancashire. My favourite football team has a red rose in its badge; my favourite cricket county has a red rose on their cap; and (coincidentally) I have friends in the Welsh village of Rhos-goch. Sometimes, it's because of Burns Night.

64This user's favorite number is 64.

I was born in 1964, and the number 64 seems to come up in my life more often than the law of averages might suggest. It is also an exact power of 2, and therefore significant to a computer programmer.

Where am I?

This user lives in Oxfordshire
This user lives in England.
Countries visited

I have always lived in

Barford St. Michael. When living in Bolton, I lived opposite John Marshall (railway historian)
.

I have been to other countries (always as a tourist), see box at top of section. It's chronological, so sorry to

Cleveland
.

    Userboxes

    There are several scattered about this page, partly as illustration of the paragraph alongside, but mainly to brighten the place up a bit. There are well over 100 that I wanted to incorporate, but if formatted as a single column they took up too much space, so most of the rest have been moved to a userboxes sub-page. Some were removed because the Great Renaming Plan of April 2015 turned them into redlinks.

    Politics

    In the UK there are several political parties; I have supported some of them, but not all. In the United States they have two parties, let's hear what one politician from each party has said:

    And tonight I have the high privilege and distinct honor of my own as the first president to begin the State of the Union message with these words: Madam Speaker.

    — President George W. Bush, State of the Union Address, 23 January 2007

    Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President. No president has ever said those words from this podium ... And it's about time.

    — President Joe Biden, Speech to a joint session of Congress, 28 April 2021

    articles on Wikipedia

    Virtually all my edits have been on either English Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. Whether good or (hopefully not) bad, all edits that I have done are recorded as by Redrose64, with the following exceptions:

    1. 82.109.193.99 12:53, 29 April 2009 - Matty Grooves Records (diff); this was before I registered
    2. 213.232.79.146 14:59, 21 October 2009 - c:User talk:Redrose64 (diff); I didn't realise that the browser I was using didn't pass on all cookies that it should have
    3. Chaucer coming in contact with Petrarch or Boccaccio (diff
      ); whilst carrying out this edit, I somehow became logged out. No idea why.
    4. 194.81.226.131 18:42, 11 November 2016 - Talk:LMS Coronation Class (diff); in public library, so intentionally not logged in
    5. 94.118.5.104 15:29, 21 May 2017 and 15:32, 21 May 2017 - Talk:Senna glycoside (diff); somebody else's mobile device
    6. 94.118.94.134 16:56, 21 May 2017 - User talk:RexxS (diff); somebody else's mobile device
    7. Whispyhistory 14:21, 20 August 2017 - Charles Singer (diff) and 14:34, 20 August 2017 - User talk:Redrose64 (diff); assisting another user at a meetup
    8. 46.208.106.114 14:08, 8 October 2024 - Wikipedia talk:Sandbox (diff); testing Reply tool when intentionally logged out

    However, no other edits of any page from those IP addresses or accounts were mine. When editing from home, my normal IP address is dynamic, and begins 87; but the other three groups vary on a daily basis.

    For the purposes of testing various features under circumstances of

    low user permissions, I have created account Redrose64a (talk · contribs
    )

    Naughtiness

    My alleged misdemeanours, such as they are, are recorded here. Despite these, I seem to have been given some extra rights on 14 June 2010. It's not all been bad.

    Non-English editing

    I have done a few, mainly to fix up mistakes by non-English speakers which a 'bot then propagated back to the English article, also to fix up errors copied verbatim from English Wikipedia. I've also set up a number of

    interlanguage links
    . They have all gone on as Redrose64 though; these edits on other Wikipedias were mine: Alemannic; Arabic; Basque; Belarusian; Bosnian; Breton; Bulgarian; Cantonese; Catalan; Cebuano; Chinese; Colognian; Croatian; Czech; Danish; Dutch; Esperanto; Estonian; Finnish; French; Georgian; German; Greek; Hungarian; Indonesian; Italian; Japanese; Korean; Latvian; Lithuanian; Luxembourgish; Macedonian; Malay; Norwegian; Odia; Persian; Polish; Portuguese; Romanian; Russian; Scottish Gaelic; Serbo-Croatian; Simple English; Sinhala; Slovak; Spanish; Swedish; Tagalog; Thai; Turkish; Ukrainian; Urdu; Vietnamese; Volapük; Welsh. For some reason, the Amharic, Aragonese, Bangla, Bavarian, Bhojpuri, Central Kurdish, Egyptian Arabic; Emiliano-Romagnolo; Hindi; Kazakh; Ligurian; Malayalam; Moroccan Arabic; Punjabi; Tajik and Tulu Wikipedias, and Tamil Wikisource have noticed me. I had difficulty logging in at Urdu where I could only edit anonymously. See also List of WikiMedia accounts; SUL Info (see bottom for unattached accounts); Recent contributions on all projects

    Other WikiMedia projects

    Done

    Most of my editing has been amendments to existing articles. I also fix vandalism as and when I encounter it. However, I do claim to be the creator of:

    1. See here for verification. The list produced by this link shows four pages (LNER electric units, 2 January 2011; Alexandra Park railway station, 12 January 2011; Edmund Ward, 1 August 2011; Mid-Kent Railway, 9 December 2011) in addition to the above. These were created as redirects by me but have been expanded either to full articles (Mid-Kent Railway) or to disambiguation pages (others) by other people.
    2. For some reason, in some edit counters, articles which are purely redirects also count towards the total, so to resolve the discrepancy, I admit to being responsible for setting up over 150 redirects, some of which were as a result of page moves. See here for verification.

    To find out how many times an article is accessed daily: Wikipedia article traffic statistics - make sure that both date and article are filled in suitably. Thanks to Henrik via Piano non troppo.

    • Longest interval between making a fix and its effects being first seen: 5+12 years.
    • I've created several all-capitals shortcots in Project namespace. Here they are: WP:CITEBEGIN
      WP:TFM
      (August 2013). I'm rather surprised at just how many I'd forgotten creating, even though I've used most of them several times recently - I'd assumed that they had been created by others. Of those I do recall creating, it's gratifying to see so many in widespread usage.

    Dear readers, feel free to glue any of these into other Wikipedia articles provided that they are relevant; I don't expect to see a picture of Port Meadow Halt in an article on quark–gluon plasma.

    Note however that the following, being

    To do

    This user spends WAY too much time on Wikipedia and really needs to get off the computer... after one more edit.

    Go through the whole of Wikipedia and check that it's 100% correct. Failing that, concentrate on improving the stubs.

    Railway Electrification prior to 1956 - based on notes originally placed in Talk:Sale, Greater Manchester

    Rewrite UK-relevant portions of

    Right- and left-hand traffic#Trains to describe gradual change from RHD to LHD, particularly in case of large boiler and left-hand signals. Mention Milton 1955. Mention also that some rlys were RH running, such as M&B. Mention early GWR rule about direction on each line. In Bidirectional traffic#Railways
    , see what can be done for referencing, particularly UK.

    Navboxes for open/closed stations for single county or unitary authority may be found in Category:Rail transport navigational boxes of the United Kingdom or its subcats. Several are categorised as stubs, but in the wrong stub category. Berks, Bucks, Hants and Oxon should be in {{SouthEastEngland-railstation-stub}}; Glos and Wilts in {{SouthWestEngland-railstation-stub}}; Northants in {{EastMidlands-railstation-stub}}; Worcs and Warks in {{WestMidlands-railstation-stub}}.

    On the Talk page, use the TWP banner (removing parameter pairs as required):

    {{WikiProject Trains |class= |importance= |stations=yes |UK=yes |UK-importance= 
    |Scotland=yes |Scotland-importance=
    |Underground=yes |LUL-importance=
    |imageneeded=yes |Imagedetails=
    }}
    

    WikiProject banners for counties include {{WikiProject Berkshire}}; {{WikiProject Buckinghamshire}}; {{WikiProject Hampshire}}; {{WikiProject Northamptonshire}}; {{WikiProject Wiltshire}} (see also projects within Category:WikiProject England)

    Useful strings to copy&paste
    <br /><small>Line and station closed</small> 
    <br /><small>Line closed, station open</small> 
    <br /><small>Line open, station closed</small> 
    <br /><small>Line and station open</small> 
    use final name of station per [[Template:Butt-Stations|Butt 1995]] p.xxx and [[WP:NC (UK stations)]] 
    

    To find links to a page that don't go through a navbox, use the query linksto:"Foo railway station" insource:/\[\[Foo railway station/ - of course that fails to find those that go through {{stnlnk}} and similar.

    Barford St. John and St. Michael

    Why do these two villages - which have three articles between them - warrant so much less total coverage than neighbouring South Newington? I've nothing against the latter place - I just feel that the Barfords could get a bit more. St. John has more than St. Michael - and it's tiny by comparison.

    Idea for that: go to field (the old cricket field) in Barford St. John, stand on N bank of river near the water pipe or the weir, and take photo showing bridge, and if poss, include Woodworm Studios in the shot. Put it on the

    Barford St. Michael. Add comment stating that the bridge is a multiple hazard to motoring; the road narrows at this point, turns through a sharp bend, and the bridge is hump-backed. Both parapets show signs of frequent repair as motorists misjudge the road. In winter, the road often floods across its whole width for some distance either side of the bridge. If poss, also note that the Woodworm
    Studios is on the left of the picture.

    Get something about the river from Peter Sheasby's book. Also on the two churches from that book "Churches of the Banbury Area". Is there something on St. Mary's, Cropredy in that? Is there any "Field Names Survey" stuff left (Bond, J. and others).
