About me
I am an administrator on Wikipedia. If you need help with anything, please give me a message.
In some aspects, Wikipedia is struggling to define itself with its own success. Trolling, pov-pushing and systematic efforts to undermine the encyclopedia are present, and when I say that I'm definitely not referring to the efforts of our controversial, but great writers. I'm talking about bitter infighting among nationalists, anti-science editing in evolution and users becoming more skilled at skirting our policies, never acting quite badly enough to be thrown out.
For better or worse, Wikipedia has become important - in some aspects it defines Truth. How tempting is it not to edit it to reflect your Truth then? After enduring and combating that for days, weeks or months, it is not surprising that the good faith of some users is badly bruised. After seeing so much very skilled disruptive behavior, it is not easy to tell friend from foe, to tell a genuine grievance from trolling. I believe this is what's behind many recent problems. I wish we as a collective could be more calm, more willing to ignore insults and more skilled in defusing conflicts.
I try to make this encyclopedia better with every edit, but please let me know if I make mistakes and I'll try to correct them. For transparency, all my admin actions are logged here.
Me personally? I'm not nearly as interesting as the encyclopedia itself. A recently graduated student, with M.Sc. in CS/EE. Currently lives in Sweden.
