| == My editing philosophy and the Credibility of Misplaced Pages == | |||
| === Statement === | |||
| I base my editing philosophy on the basic premise that | |||
| '''Readers should not be misled when referring to what is supposed to be an accurate repository of knowledge (Misplaced Pages)''' | |||
| To that end, I would rather see something that is inaccurate removed rather than remain on the article page to confuse the innocent. | |||
| (Looks like Jimbo agrees! ) | |||
| === Argument === | |||
| The inherent weakness/strength of a Wiki is, of course, that anyone can contribute and edit/revert. However if any one can contribute, and the editors do not know whether the contribution is right or wrong, the article can remain visible for a long time steering readers in completely the wrong direction. | |||
| Since I have been editing Misplaced Pages, I have been truly horrified at the number of inaccuracies and sheer poor quality of writing on many subjects with which I am familiar. My purpose therfore is to try to correct those articles in the subject areas with which I am familiar so that readers like myself can have confidence in the accuracy of Misplaced Pages. | |||
| I'm sure I read somewhere on 'pedia that CREDIBILITY is (rightly) one of the main concerns of the organisers. | |||
| === Statement of intent === | |||
| I have to tell you that, certainly in the field of electrical, electronic engineering, Wikpedia is certainly NOT credible at the moment. I am prepared to, and already have started to, help correct that situation in those subject areas. | |||

| *] Sorry about that- its not intentional | |||
| *] (some people say awkward!) Mum? | |||
| Why do people keep saying I'm an awkward b*****d? -- I cant think! Actually the correct word to describe me is '''OBSTINATE''' (its ]) | |||
| You may use any of the above words to describe/criticise me in your posts and I wont take offence. I may, however, take offence if you use some other terms like ] and ] etc. You may also suggest new words to be added to the list. (Keep them clean tho!) | |||

| *] it needs doing now - not next year!! | |||
| *]? | |||
| *] (not a wrist watch nor to do with firearms) | |||
| Also, I sometimes like to wind people up! But it may not be obvious (even to me) that Im doing it! | |||
| Other attributes will be added as I think of them | |||
| == Edit count== | |||
| My article to article/article_talk edit ratio seems to be converging to 2:1. But not quite - I still seem to talk a lot. | |||
| I dont know what that means! | |||
| === Stats === | |||
| More detailed stats | |||
| I intend to stop at | |||
| *<s> 7000 </s> edits | |||
| *<s> 8000 </s> edits | |||

| 19000?? | |||
| (please.....please......WP, release your grip!!) Im trying to stop -honestly.... | |||
| Aaarggh.. my ] is calling!! | |||
| Only one thing for it - take (another) Wiki break! | |||
| Ahh slowing down now! | |||
| :Well I thought Id make my '''23,000th''' edit here. And here it is. Not much I know, but I need a rest 8-) | |||
| == Strategy For Indenting Replies in Discussions == | |||
| Under each '''new''' heading, | |||
| Originator =0: | |||
| respondent 1 =1: | |||
| respondent 2 =2: | |||
| etc. | |||
| Simple!--Light current 20:50, 15 October 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Yes my favored method, (altho' its not approved of (yet)) is for each respondent to keep the same number of indents under any new heading. Its then much easier to see whos talking and where! THis encourages users to start new hdgs which helps to break up the page and aid navigation.--Light current 05:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Thank you == | |||
| Here on WP, one can learn how to communicate civilly (but not necessarily lamely) with others whilst still having a good robust discussion/argument. That, maybe, will be one of Misplaced Pages's greatest lasting achievements. | |||
| I would like to thank everyone with whom I have had contact since I joined WP for broadening my mind and showing me how to conduct myself on this medium but Im still learning to avoid the bear traps! | |||
