User:YellowAries2010

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello. I am YellowAries2010. I live in my native Western USA. I have also lived in New England, the South, and the Mid-Atlantic regions of the USA. I modify a wide variety of articles, usually just attempting to delete errors in spelling, syntax, grammar, punctuation and the like.

I follow soccer and gymnastics. This includes college, pro, and otherwise. I also have a renewed interest in motorsports, mainly IndyCar, NASCAR Cup Series and IMSA SportsCar Championship. However, my edits, which can be seen here, reflect a wide and random array of subject matter. My main broad editing interests include, but are not limited to, sports, news, and music.

More will be added as needed, especially as my knowledge of formatting increases.

This is the page for the user formerly known as YellowAries. I neglected to provide an email address for that page, and was eventually locked out by accident. I would delete that page if I knew how.

  • Special report: What actually happened during the Wikimedia security incident?
    A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?
Tip of the day...
Breaking the 500-edit limit in "View History"

Have you ever been frustrated that you are limited to viewing 500-edits in View-History for pages?

Solution to see more edits:

  1. On any page with more than 500 edits...
  2. Click on that page's "View History" tab
  3. Click on the "|50)" wikilink just above and to the right of Compare selected versions
  4. Go up to your web browser's address bar and change limit=50 in the URL to any higher number (N) up to 5000, for example: limit=2500
  5. Press ↵ Enter or hit "go"

Go slow with "N", until you know what your web browser and computer can handle. If you get greedy your computer and browser may lock up. After the page fully loads you can use your browser's search feature to find what you are looking for or you can scroll down the page. As a bonus, your "next" choice will now offer next-N instead of next-500.

Bonus tip #1: The same process works in "Contributions", and on the search results page.
Bonus tip #2: If you prefer, you can tweak the web address (URL) on a view history page to go back from a specified date, which is useful for looking way back in long histories. In your browser in the URL after "&action=history" add "&offset=YYYYMMDD", where YYYY is the year, MM is the month, and DD is the day. Then press ↵ Enter or hit "go".
