Applying to College

<p>Ok, I can work a year and get thousands of articles edited. Two more questions:</p>

<p>1.) When you edit an articles, does the article mention it was edited by you? If not, how can you keep track of how many articles you've edited?</p>

<p>2.) How long is the voting period? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

22

<p>1) Yes. Look at any article and click the "history" tab.</p>

<p>2) One week.</p>

23

<p>Thanks alot bro :)</p>

<p>I got a blog thats filled with humor... Is it appropriatre to send the link, so they can get an idea of my personality...
Its wacky humor.. but i got 4000 views in < 2 months.. so its catching...</p>

<p><a href="http://alphaandtheomega.blogspot.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://alphaandtheomega.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Will it be looked at.. or is it barking up the wrong tree</p>

25

<p>It doesn't look that interesting to me, but perhaps I'm the wrong tree. I think the only authoritative answer to your question would be an adcom, but my unauthoritative opinion is that your blog has a surprising lack of written content.</p>

26

<p>it does.. its a blog of humor... read down.. some good ones (I think so tho)</p>

<p>nemore replies??</p>

<p>And thanks johnleemk</p>

27

<p>Well, I read everything on the main page and browsed the comments too. I don't see much to distinguish it from other blogs, however.</p>

28

<p>Is "Developer" the highest ranking position in Wikipedia? Is "Steward" the second highest ranking? thanks</p>

29

<p>If I'm not mistaken, that is correct. You have to be extremely proficient in PHP and SQL to become a developer, however.</p>

30

<p>How about for "Steward?"</p>

31

<p>Again, you need a lot of edits and reputation to qualify.</p>

32

<p>Do I need any knowledge in PHP and SQL? I am willing to work on my gap year on Wikipedia, 8 hours per day.This looks promising.</p>

33

<p>Not for stewardship. I should warn you that there are very few bureaucrats and even fewer stewards, so you shouldn't get your hopes up about them.</p>

34

<p>It doesnt matter, actually. My goal is becoming an Administrator, which I am positive I can get working a year,8 hours per day. Thanks for all the information and the ideas. btw, where are you applying to? Are you a junior?</p>

35

<p>I won't be applying until next year, but I'm quite confident I'll be applying to Princeton, the U of Chicago, Dartmouth and Swarthmore. Good luck with your application(s).</p>
