Reminders to myself: (1) Coverage on Wikipedia is much better than its quality. I should strive to improve the quality of wikipedia, it's a job not enough people are doing. (2) Wikipedia covers lots of articles on unencyclopedic crap. I will accept this and not waste my time fighting it. (3) Focusing too much on deletion is a bad but tempting thing. (4) Do your real work, don't waste all your time here. I mean it.

An extension of this: it's really been bothering me lately that people seem to not understand the boundaries of what we can accomplish during deletion debates. Try to remember that administrators are not slaves.

Some of the articles I have written or significantly contributed to include:

Feel free to edit my talk page if you've got anything to say, though I may not notice for a while. I've been pretty active lately but it comes and goes.

I am a proposed deletion patroller. You can help too, by looking at Category:Proposed deletion from time to time. My reasons for de-prodding:

  1. Any article I don't think should be deleted.
  2. Any article that had been previously de-prodded by another user or listed on afd.
  3. Any prod that gives a reason that is a solvable issue.
  4. Any prod of an article that doesn't clearly fit within a community-accepted reason for deletion.
