User:Steven (Editor)

Hi, I'm Steven and welcome to my fairly short user page, not much to say at the moment but when I joined Wikipedia, for some reason it took me a few years until I decided to create a user page — this requires an investigation, I approve. The content below provides some information about me and the icons at the top right (see userboxes below if on mobile device) denote some of the user access levels I have so far which help with my contributions to Wikipedia — they will be pretty much stagnant but may expand as time goes on. I have a tendency to ensure things are neat and tidy, simplified, and consistent — you may see me applying these characteristics to Wikipedia. I've created and expanded a range of articles as well as WikiGnome work, and I'm also a coordinator for WikiProject Schools.

My ethos to adding content
When it comes to adding content on Wikipedia, while ensuring we follow its policies and guidelines, I already believe it is important what we add is cited to reliable sources and written from a neutral point of view. Why? Well the reasons are simple and obvious:


 * To build a good encyclopedia without bias and promotion
 * How do we know what is being said is true?
 * To remember this is, after all, an encyclopedia

Vandalism is an issue on here, a nuisance, which is a shame and hampers the development of this collaborative project. We do our best to tackle this, but I always wonder why people would want to waste their time adding useless vandalism when they could be doing something else better instead, right?
