Kevin Rector

=About Me= Hello, my name is Kevin Rector and I am a computer programmer from Nashville, Tennessee. I discovered Wikipedia on May 28, 2004. On January 31, 2005 I made my 5000th edit. =Articles I've Worked On= User:Kevin Rector/Articles It's really no longer up to date and should be ignored. =Utilities= ==Kevin Bot / WikiSweet== I've written a bot to do some of the tedious work of the Wikipedia. It runs as User:KevinBot. I also now use this user when I do disambiguation with wikipedia:solve_disambiguation.py. The source for my bot is closed to protect against malicious users. It has evolved from a simple command line utility that I re-wrote for each job to a full GUI module suite. I will probably open source it at some point in the future, it's not ready for the prime time yet. ==HTML Table syntax to Wiki Table Syntax Converter== I wrote a web page that uses JavaScript to convert HTML table syntax to Wiki table syntax. You can use it at [http://www.wackyboy.com/ConvertHtmlTableToWikiTable.html http://www.wackyboy.com/ConvertHtmlTableToWikiTable.html]. =Images= User:Kevin Rector/images =Stuff I find interesting on Wikipedia about Wikipedia= *Special:Newpages *Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits *Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by most recent edit *Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links *Wikipedia:Village Pump *Wikipedia:Copyright problems *Wikipedia:Requests for adminship *:Category:Stub_categories *Wikipedia:Transwiki log *Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Transwiki log *:Category:Transwikied to Wiktionary *Wikipedia:Votes for Deletion *Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Log/ *m:Machine-friendly wiki interface *User:Kevin Rector/List Every NHL Player Ever =Licensing and Intellectual Property= I agree to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing my contributions (including those entered via a bot), with the exception of my user pages, as described below: [[image:Barnstar.png|right|frame|Kevin Rector, I do hereby award you the Woodward and Bernstein Barnstar (yes, it's any other barnstar, I just gave it a new name) for singlehandedly cracking open the worst case of abuse of Wikipedia for self-promotion that I have yet seen. I refer to the Eric Bruno Borgman cancer that was steadily growing until you caught the first symptoms with your entry at Wikipedia: Votes for deletion/Phil Stone. This is the first, and quite possibly last, barnstar I have ever awarded. May it serve you well. -User:R. fiend]]

Archived bits are here User talk:Kevin Rector/archive 1, User talk:Kevin Rector/archive 2, User talk:Kevin Rector/archive 3 == Wiktionary:Transwiki log == Ahh, good, that'll be much easier for wiktionary to handle. By the way, it's fine with me if I take on all of the transwikis fulltime as I've been doing; if I do it every or every other day it's only five to ten a day, not a big deal. Thanks for your work! --User:Dmcdevit 21:47, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) *Awesome! Just wondering if the bot could put the entries into the WP and Wiktionary Tnaswiki logs automatically? Also, could it be made to do other transwikis (wikisource, wikiquote, wikibooks, wikinews, etc.), or would that just be like quadupling your work? Also, it's not a big deal but there's also that listing it twice if it uses the redirected template. But, anyway, none of these are big deals. Thanks a ton! --User:Dmcdevit 23:01, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) *And another ''minor'' suggestion I just remembered that when a marked article has quotes in the title, the page source doesn't show up. I've had to manually move them getting rid of the quotes first, then transwiki. Don't know what you could do 'bout that. Also, I've got May testing soon, so I'm *trying* to resist Wikipedia also. Trying... --User:Dmcdevit 02:14, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC) Hey, I just realized: if you are still making that newer bot, it should put in , as the amount of template use weighs down the server. Thanks, and I don't mean to be demanding or anything. --User:Dmcdevit 09:46, 23 May 2005 (UTC) == Hockey == Thanks for the headsup on the defenceman thing, Kevin - I was wondering at the time why there wasn't already one. I've not merged pages before, but once I get some time I'll have a go at it. User:Kraigus 23:28, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==VFD== Hi, I removed Barefoot and pregnant from VFD a few hours ago, since I was trying to get permission from some people to use pics, and thought its listing there might discourage them. Now that I have obtained permission, you can relist it if you feel that is appropriate. Thanks, User:CarsonDailyCity 01:54, 4 May 2005 (UTC) == WP:TL == I'm trying to remodel the Transwiki log to make it more friendly to editors who want to go through and resolve all of those old dicdefs that hang around even after transwikification. Can you take a look at it and see what you think or if you can make it any better? Thanks! --User:Dmcdevit 04:25, 4 May 2005 (UTC) == Hello == Hey, Kevin. I just joined Wikipedia myself and noticed that you were also a member. It seems like you've made quite a few contributions to the site as well. Good luck with all your work. User:Chad S. Wrye 23:37, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC) == Proposed "Neighborhoods of Nashville" project == Is the "neighborhoods of Nashville" an area worth pursuing? There are already articles on the big suburbs (Antioch, Bellevue, Donelson, Green Hills, Hermitage, etc.), so I am talking more about Inglewood, Belleshire, Joelton, Whites Creek, the Nations, etc. I am running this past you and several other Nashville-knowledgable types before starting as I have neither the time nor the inclination to do it entirely on my own. Comments? User:Rlquall 03:38, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Shelby Street Bridge == Nice work on the Shelby Street Bridge article. I have no idea where you found that much information about it :) User:Kaldari 17:23, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC) == lots of edits, not an admin == Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in User:Rick Block/WP600 not admins? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- user:Rick Block (user talk:Rick Block) 17:01, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
