My strongest suit, and my main interest on Wikipedia, is being the copyeditor. I love cleaning up badly-worded phrases - try me!
Help maintain Wikipedia across itsbroad spectrum of features. Greetnew users withmessages/cookies. Mediatedisruptive editing withstandardized orprotection templates. Disambig with thesetemplates. Use not the general{{cleanup}} tag, butspecific tags.
Check out my edit summary stats fromWannabe Kate andmathbot. I used{{-}} to fixGeorgia Cyclone, but haven't found another use for it. Play around with{{tl}},{{tlu}},{{tls}},{{tlsu}},{{tlp}},{{tl2}}, and{{tlsx}}.
WP:TWINKLE simplifies reverts andAIV reporting. Close XfD'swithout admin tools.Use a template without taking its categories.Opt out of auto-signing (not recommended for most people).
Now a bit about myself. I livehere, went tothis andthat, was once inthis racket, and formerly worked forthese guys, among others.
Have you ever played with aMöbius strip?
I oppose third party candidates untilcool voting methods are adopted, but will people know how to vote correctly on those ballots?
Known pages on which I have been quoted includecoelacan.
I have been called a "touchy feely lefty wanker"[1], as well asa Republican.
My editing philosophy: Try very hard to avoid POV sources, try very hard to be NPOV, do not make trivial edits (but always correct mistakes), and ALWAYS leave an edit summary.
When making an edit that may be controversial, imagine you wrote the article and now someone wants changes. How would you like them to go about it? How can they do it so you will not complain?
I probably am not a deletionist or inclusionist, for I do not believe in most generalizations. Many items on Wikipedia are useful; many are not. I prefer to judge each case by its merit, and always keep in mind the option ofTranswiki to Commons.
