Expertise and deletion
If you can verify for me that you are a subject expert in a subject considered notable enough to include on Misplaced Pages, I will, on your say-so, close any deletion debate as "keep" within your field of expertise, and will undelete any articles within your field that you say are notable.
User recovery
If you need access to a Misplaced Pages article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel or similar, I will make the text available to you.
Note that using the text to recreate the deleted content is speedyable, and using it to keep it hanging around in your userspace has gotten editors penalized before. But that's your problem.

Is it eventually yet?
The Kefermarkt altarpiece is a richly decorated wooden altarpiece in the Late Gothic style in the parish church of Kefermarkt in Upper Austria. Commissioned by the knight Christoph von Zelking, it was completed around 1497. Saints Peter, Wolfgang and Christopher are depicted in the central section. The wing panels depict scenes from the life of Mary, and the altarpiece also has an intricate superstructure and two side figures of Saints George and Florian. The identity of its maker, known by the notname Master of the Kefermarkt Altarpiece, is unknown, but at least two skilled sculptors appear to have created the main statuary. Throughout the centuries, it has been altered and lost its original paint and gilding; a major restoration was undertaken in the 19th century under the direction of Adalbert Stifter. The altarpiece has been described as "one of the greatest achievements in late-medieval sculpture in the German-speaking area". This image shows the upper-left wing panel of the Kefermarkt altarpiece, depicting the birth of Christ. Mary is portrayed kneeling in devotion in front of the infant Christ, who is placed before her on a fold of her dress. On the other side, Joseph is also kneeling in front of the child. Above Mary, on the roof of the building behind them, are two angels playing a mandolin and a lute. The annunciation to the shepherds can be seen in the background.Sculpture credit: Master of the Kefermarkt Altarpiece; photographed by Uoaei1

Sysop
After a new record of 62 votes in your favour at RfA, you are now an administrator. When you get over the shock of having such a scary number of people voting for you, you should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the administrators' how-to guide helpful. Good luck. :) Angela. 17:56, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)

Common Sense
Misplaced Pages policy, or, at least, what exists of it in a codified fashion, is exceedingly well written, flexible, and, on some occasions, manages the rare feat of being funny as well. In general, though, official changes to policy are slow to come, and are most effective when they follow from things that are already semi-common practice. In other words, policy is descriptive, not proscriptive, and practice may change before policy.
There is a school of thought within Misplaced Pages that there exist policies that are not written down. I am a firm believer in this school of thought. The rules of Misplaced Pages are not a suicide pact, and attempts to slavishly follow the rules when one of the rules is to ignore all rules is an exercise in absurdism.
To put it another way, from IRC:
Raul654: oh, and snowspinner, I've come to a conclusion Raul654: making policy on wikipedia is hard Raul654: because there are people who oppose any common sense measures JamesF: Raul> Indeed. Snowspinner: Yes. I came to that conclusion as well. Raul654: I have decided that it's better to shoot first and ask questions later ;) Snowspinner: Cool. Snowspinner: I'm in that camp too now. Raul654: seriously Raul654: don't worry about making common sense policy Raul654: just do things with common sense Raul654: and wait for policy to catch up
Use common sense.
