Revision as of 15:35, 27 March 2006
Pages I have made:
1. TalkOrigins Archive (although was almost completely a draft from Wesley R. Elsberry)
2. William W. Hoppin. Still a stub- help out and expand it.
My Misplaced Pages philosophy:
On talk pages: As far as I am concerned, talk page discussions should be about the article. Arguments about truth or falsity of cited claims should not go on talk pages because they are by defintion OR and in any case rarely convince anyone of anything. This applies particularly to articles related to creationism and other pseudosciences.
On conflicts: I believe that leaving a page because of a contentious editor is not a good thing to do. If people do that on a regular basis the contentious POV editors will have the run of Misplaced Pages.
On edit warring: Edit warring is bad, however, I have done it on occasion. I am not perfect. I find edit warring when the consensus is against an editor to be very bad, and edit warring about a topic one is personally involved in to be reprehensible.
On userpages: I think that userpages should not have much on them that does not assist Misplaced Pages, however, I do not strongly mind other users who have well-developed user pages. In at least one RfA someone voted to oppose since a user had a blank userpage. I find that ridiculous.
On userboxes: I do not use them, but I do not mind people who do.
On deletion: I am neither a deletionist nor an inclusionist. I'll let my AfD record speak for itself. I think everyone should keep in mind realize that AfDs are not votes, although I am sometimes myself guilty of using the term "vote" in this context. I also think that if an AfD is unanimous or nearly unanimous with a high number of editors signed on and one agrees with the displayed consensus then one should not add ones own remark unless is adds new information in some form. I am also sometimes guilty of this.
I think that covers all the major issues. I will add more per requests, procrastination and/or genuine need.
