[edit] Admin stuff
[edit] Namespace subpages
- /Musings on notability An essay I am working on. I take the stance that there is one test for encylopedic articles: Multiple, non-trivial references from reliable sources. All other "tests" as they exist only serve to obfuscate and confuse. Simplify, simplify, simplify.

- /Orthodoxy and heresy at Wikipedia An essay inspired by the rather contentious MfD for Esperanza
