I'm sort of aWikiGnome; I do a fair amount of maintenance work, finding sources, expanding stubs, marking/correcting categories and the like. I don't have a lot of time to write actual articles, though I've donea few (I tend to work in chunks or bursts, when I have the time to research/write properly). My watchlist "only" has about 1500 articles on it, but I purposefully choose out-of-the-way/neglected corners of the wiki, so my list of changes to keep an eye on stays relatively low.
Also, my job is phenomenally busy of late, which cuts down on my time even further. I do administrative/technical work onA Wheel of Time wiki when I have time, as you might have guessed from myusername. And I really cut my teeth on theMafiaScum Wiki, which wasn't even based onMediaWiki back then.
I'm amergist at heart; I'd rather see good, comprehensive, composite articles than a plethora of stubs in many cases. It's always possible to split them back out out later when/if the article becomes too large to be manageable. I don't mind creating/leaving stubs to grow, though, when they have potential; I'm also aneventualist. I'm realistic, though; some thingswill just never grow up to beencyclopedic. I'm starting to become more of a hard-line mergist about fictional topics having their own articles, including the WoT stuff, which I'd like to either combine or move over toWikia.
I'm sort of anexopedian with asociology degree, really; that probably explains it better than anything.*shrug* On the other hand, sometimes there's a little too much social networking, cliques, and good-old-fashioned power struggles here, when we could all just take a breath and move on towrite something meaningful.
I was granted theadministrative tools for the English Wikipedia in late 2006, so if you have any questions with special functions of the wiki,please let me know. My areas of focus includeattack pages for speedy deletion,Wikipedians looking for help,providing deleted articles to those wishing to improve them,fixing cut-and-paste moves, andrequested moves.
If you have a problem with any of my actions,please let me know. If I am not around and/or the problem is urgent, feel free torevert my action or contactanother user with the sysop bit to do so if you do not have the tools at your disposal*. If you feel that a serious enough lapse of judgment has occurred to make me unfit to use the tools, please see myrecall request subpage.
