User:Jordanblocker

Hi there!

"Jordanblocker" is actually the name of a hockey team at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, where I went for grad school. I thought it was a smart pun with a cool pronunciation even though I have no interest in hockey. It just came into my mind when I registered this Wikipedia account perfunctorily, not expecting myself to be a long-term Wikipedia editor.

Wikipedia has been an extremely helpful resource for me to get new knowledge and I believe it has even partly contributed in forming my personality.

More about me

My first language is Mandarin Chinese and am consciously trying to make English my primary language. I'm fluent in the speaking and listening of Shanghainese too, which I consider is a different language as Mandarin Chinese.

My activities on English Wikipedia

Some of my editing has been undone and some may turn out useless, and it's hard to measure how much meaningful contributions I have actually made for each page I'm involved in. Thus, I decide to just list out the pages where I spent more than half an hour editing. They are:

List of things I'm planning to do

This section records the things I want to do on Wikipedia that I have not done yet due to my procrastination.

Big projects

Each task here would probably take at least 3 hours away from me. Please contact me if you want to work together to get some of these done sooner.

  • Revamp the Coriolis Force entry. The status quo is intolerable. I plan to add the rigorous mathematical derivation (applying the change of basis matrix) and try to persuade the other editors to put that in a prominent position. Some stuff in the current version is wrong while others may be redundant or extremely unfriendly to someone new with the concept, and I will try to fight with the editors on deleting them. I will also add some applications of the Coriolis effect in atmospheric/oceanic dynamics that I consider important.
  • Create the entries for a few important meteorological terms, such as "Gradient wind", "Eliassen–Palm flux".
Small projects

Each will probably take me 0.5-1 hour.

My user page on Chinese Wikipedia

I'm starting editing on Chinese Wikipedia as well now. My user page on Chinese Wikipedia is:
