[edit] Thought Provoking Essays and Neat Links

  • User:CatherineMunro#Why am I here? CatherineMunro is an old hand. Her essay on what participation means to her is thought provoking and very well written. There's something in it for just about every conscientious editor.
  • User:Geogre Geogre and I seem to be on the opposite side of just about everything we've both been involved in. But this is good stuff. The section dealing with how one should vote in AfDs is really well put, and the musings on article quality and why no article is better than an inadequate article seem very apt. I need to remember to reread these every so often.
  • The Wikipedia Creed
  • User:Essjay/Neutrality Not sure anyone could be that neutral but worth striving for!
  • User:Essjay/Rules also thought provoking! Don't whinge, fix it yourself (something I could do to remember more often)
  • User:Karmafist/wikiphilosophies a bit more "cynical" but pragmatic view of how stuff gets done...
  • Meta:Academic standards disease this is a counterpoint to the stance I've been taking that experts should be shown deference or at least given the benefit of the doubt by default.
  • User:Vaoverland Just an enjoyable read. Lots of little tidbits on how to be a better Wikipedian and interesting background facts about stuff he's worked on. I hope if I ever get as prolific as he is, that this page is half as good.
  • User:Anthere/Values "For any article you vote to delete, vote one to keep, or improve one which is on the border of being thrown in the bin."
  • Wikipedia:Xiong's stats Some fascinating analysis of number of edits/articles/sizes/growths and the correlations among them... not sure what it all means but it seems significant.
  • DefendEachOther from MeatballWiki. Don't defend yourself. Let others do it for you, and in turn, defend them if need be.

More as I find them. but I'm lazy, so feel free to suggest some!

[edit] Images I have uploaded

(Some taken by me, some found, and since I'm using special:contributions, some are just wording/license tweaks on images by others... should I build a gallery? Message me if you care one way or the other)
