Reminders to myself: (1) Coverage on Wikipedia is much better than its quality. I should strive to improve the quality of wikipedia, it's a job not enough people are doing. (2) Wikipedia covers lots of articles on unencyclopedic crap. I will accept this and not waste my time fighting it. (3) Focusing too much on deletion is a bad but tempting thing. (4) Do your real work, don't waste all your time here. I mean it.

An extension of this: it's really been bothering me lately that people seem to not understand the boundaries of what we can accomplish during deletion debates. Try to remember that administrators are not slaves.

Some of the articles I have written or significantly contributed to include:

Other contributions I'm proud of:

Feel free to edit my talk page if you've got anything to say, though I may not notice for a while. I've been pretty active lately but it comes and goes.
