Persistent Actions

 * To be a check on Jimbo so he doesn't become a dictator
 * To make sure Wikipedia remains a free, open, and self-governing project
 * To defend the essential policy that Wikipedia is NOT a bureaucracy
 * "Follow the spirit, not the letter, of any rules, policies and guidelines. Disagreements should be resolved through consensual discussion, rather than through tightly sticking to rules and procedures."

Future Projects
In no particular order:
 * WP:TPG
 * WP:MOS
 * Articles I have linked to from my user and talk pages.
 * Six projects I am a member of
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Consumer_organizations

The Past
Things of the past. The past is dead. I forget those things.
 * Notability_%28web%29
 * Tagging Articles that are not notable.
 * Talking too much with other users

Rules will Never Bind us
Rules and regulations... cannot be endowed with the fixity of rock-ribbed law. They are meant for the average case, and must be applied with a certain degree of elasticity.

Rules can be broken and ought be broken but there are certain principles that should never be without justifiable reasons:

{|

NPOV

 * Write with a neutral, unbiased, objective point of view

Verifiability & WP:OR

 * Verify information by citing reliable sources; content must have been published prior to being on Wikipedia

Summary: Verifiable... means that any reader should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Any material that is challenged... needs a reliable source... If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. Any edit lacking a source may be removed...

Jimmy Wales has said of this: "I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information...

Editors should try to familiarize themselves with all three.
