Interests
My interests are history, religion, writing, and science.

Introduction
Not sure how this goes, but "Hello!" I'm a writer living in the northeast and trying my hand as the full time writing career (which means having a dangerous potential to waste time here).

My POV
I have a bias for reliable and verifiable information. Arbitrary deletion of sourced material is simply vandalism, regardless of the excuse. If information is misplaced, move it. If you don't like the source, upgrade it. But don't delete it. Deletion is lazy, and we are here to build an encyclopedia, rather than vandalize each other's work.

Methodology
There are two basic methods a good editor can follow:


 * 1) Find an article, and find every source that applies to it.
 * 2) Find a source, and find every article it applies to.

While the first method is needed (and standard), the second method is a good corner to crawl into when you're burned out. You'll make less controversial edits, won't need to look back to see if they get deleted, and can simply pull every gem you can find in the book you're presently curled up with.

Call it a working vacation...
