User:Winged Blades of Godric/Policy and views


 * Conflicts
 * 1) I generally quietly revert good faith editing errors and sometimes put friendly, helpful comments on talk pages.
 * 2) I often make bursts of genuine attempts to clean up the crap of lazy editors and fly-by-nights deleting and inserting random info from the less-viewed pages,and it does indeed give me a heavenly pleasure.
 * 3) I stay reasonably(??) civil at most times, although less so with blatant and obvious vandals and spammers.
 * 4) I don't believe that editcountitis, self-righteousness, and arrogance, are automatic qualifications for barnstars or adminship.
 * 5) Gaming the system is sick, I don't take the bait, but I get sick of the deceit and fake self-righteousness.
 * 6) I actively close WP:RFC discussions and tend to give more weight to solid rationale and reasons behind the opinions rather than go by a mere vote count.
 * Nominations for Deletions
 * 1) My interpretation of deletion is in this essay.
 * 2) Why do every sports person who has played one professional game, every street musician who barely made it to Indian Idol, every bit part actor,  and every small town hack and painter merit an article on the flimsiest of sources, while life-long academics have to jump through a whole page of hoops?
 * 3) I show no mercy whatsoever with people, bands, and organisations (even 'non-profit' ones), who are looking for free publicity at the cost of the tireless volunteers.
 * What I would like to see
 * 1) A splash page for new editors, one that preferably replaces our traditions 'welcome' system, that explains without walls of text, some of the basic principles of editing and expected behaviour.
 * 2) A more inter-active and more (young and graphic-intensive) user friendly landing page to replace the Page Creation Wizard.
 * 3) A 'soft block' system forcing good faith, but disruptive or incompetent editors to be picked under the purview an adoption scheme.
 * 4) A list of disallowed sources for WP:BLPPROD.
 * 5) A greater effort to recruit potential mature-minded young users to Wikipedia and its maintenance tasks.
 * 6) An effort to gently dissuade univolved inexperienced users from hat-collecting and clerking or commenting in areas that are strictly meant for experienced editors/admin.
 * 7) Less pandering at PROD and AfD for obvious inappropriate pages and more CSD criteria.
