User:PhilKnight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, and welcome to my user page, I started editing under the name 'Addhoc' in July 2006, became a coordinator of the informal mediation group in April 2007, and my request for adminship passed in September 2007. In March 2008, I changed my user name, and for the avoidance of doubt, I'm not this Phil Knight, or anyone else notable. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them on my talk page.

“ I just wanted to say that becoming a sysop is *not a big deal*.

I think perhaps I'll go through semi-willy-nilly and make a bunch of people who have been around for a while sysops. I want to dispel the aura of "authority" around the position. It's merely a technical matter that the powers given to sysops are not given out to everyone.

I don't like that there's the apparent feeling here that being granted sysop status is a really special thing.

Jimmy Wales, February 2003


“ Editors are reminded that when editing in subject areas of bitter and long-standing real-world conflict, it is all the more important to comply with Wikipedia policies such as assuming good faith of all editors including those on the other side of the real-world dispute, writing with a neutral point of view, remaining civil and avoiding personal attacks, utilizing reliable sources for contentious or disputed assertions, and resorting to dispute resolution where necessary. ”
