Personal pronoun: he/his, singular they is OK too. Please no invented gender-neutral pronouns; they are atrocious.

Random thoughts[edit]

• The best way to get people to assume good faith is to show it.
• I do a lot of spelling and punctuation fixes. When I do, I don't always read all of the article. The fact that I have edited an article should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the rest of its contents.
• When I put in an opinion at AfD you can be sure that I've done at least a moderate Google search for sources, even if I do not explicitly say so in my !vote.
• It's silly, but sometimes I read an edit summary of "re" at the drama boards as "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
• Regarding attacks on the nominator at XfD: usually the worth of the page in question is inversely proportional to the viciousness of the attacks.
  • ... with bonus points for using WP:BEFORE as a club
• In ban discussions "broadly construed" is too often synonymous with "shifting the goalposts"
• NPASR is a lie
• Bob Loblaw's block log
• RfA is a dumpster fire
  • ... and crat chat is just RfA with restricted membership
• I am now told that the way to deal with canvassing is to organize a competing posse of my own. I think that's a cynical and manipulative attitude.
• "WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP!!" is the common refrain of those who oppose any cleanup.
• I try to make Wikipedia contain less bullshit. Some people don't like that.
• I have as much faith in the WMF as they apparently have in me.
• I've seen a lot of weird arguments at WP:DRV, but "Relist, because the keep !voters should have made better arguments" is a new one.
• "Plot summary" is a bad description because summarisation implies brevity, and the last thing our coverage of fiction is, is brief. WP:PLOTBLOAT might be a better term.
• If you're honest but not patient you're the preferred target of those who are the opposite.
• If I am paraphrasing what I perceive someone's position to be I will "generally use quotation marks". If I intend for it to be taken as a direct quotation I will generally give a diff, or use the green text template.
• Rote rules are seldom a good substitute for human thought or editor discretion.
• "Speedy keep- the article is so bad it misled the nominator about its topic". Facepalm.
