User:BoatThing

Newly arrived back on Wikipedia after a couple of years. Last time I had another name, which I have lost track of.

I have great respect for Wikipedia but my personal experience of trying to contribute ended in disillusion last time round.

This time round I hope to help Wikipedia towards understanding the issues with some of its current policies. Maybe then I can get on with adding useful content.

Some further info:


 * Goofy New User I may be (but I strongly suspect not).
 * Puppet I am not.
 * Webcomic 'fanboy' I am not.
 * Wikipedia supporter I am.
 * Potential editor with burnt fingers I was.
 * Somewhat gratified to see the edits and changes to a WikiProject policy I suggested quietly implemented by other, more established, editors I am.
 * Wanting to rock the boat by pointing out where that was I am not.
 * Concerned about how the boundaries are drawn around Wikipedia and a number of other issues I am.
 * Working through some ideas whilst keeping the 'big picture' in mind is what I am doing at the moment.
 * Intending to rectify a bit of subtle vandalism and a couple of really poor articles I am.
