Howdy, I am J04n (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) (real name John). I have lately been spending my Wikitime simply tidying things up. Feel free to drop me a line about anything especially if I made a mistake, if you disagree with any of my edits, or if you simply disagree with my Wikiphilosophy. As to what my Wikiphilosophy is...I'm not sure, but if you perceive it as something you are probably partly correct. Lastly, but most importantly, if there is anything that I can help you with I would be more than happy to, just drop me a line.


Tip of the day...
General topics lists

There are two types of general topics lists: Outlines and Indexes. Outlines are arranged hierarchically, while the topics in indexes are presented alphabetically.

The vast majority of lists on Wikipedia present the items of a class of things – those are item lists. The rest are general topics lists which are different than item lists because they present the subtopics of a given subject – their scope is an entire subject.

For example, for sharks, the item list is List of sharks and it presents shark species. A general topics list on sharks is the Outline of sharks, and its scope is everything about sharks.
