I registered with Wikipedia in [[July 2005]].

I am an [[m:Inclusionism|inclusionist]] with [[m:Mergism|mergist]] tendencies and an [[m:Eventualism|optimistic eventualist]].  In short, I'm more concerned about article quality than I am about [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]], but I'm not in a rush about it.  Notability requirements supporting [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|WP:V]] and [[Wikipedia:No original research|WP:NOR]] have merit, but beyond that I feel they are little more than [[m:instruction creep|instruction creep]].  The notability guideline I'm most familiar with is [[Wikipedia:Notability (websites)|WP:WEB]], which is used for web sites, [[webcomic]]s, and the like.  Overall I think it's a good compromise, but I won't vote to delete an article just because it doesn't meet it specifically.

I am a member of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Webcomics|WikiProject Webcomics]] and do caretaking for the [[list of webcomics]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Webcomics/Deletion]].  It was my interest in webcomics that led me to register an account here, and [[Elf Only Inn]] was the first article I heavily contributed to.   Incidentally, Elf Only Inn became the center of a minor controversy in [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|AfD]] and [[Wikipedia:Deletion review|DRV]].  It came up for AfD four times and it was even [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedily deleted]] once.  It was all a little overblown, but it did give me a crash course on Wikipedia policies and practices.  Though I am inclusionist, I don't believe we should indiscriminately keep all articles on webcomics.  I've expressed my thoughts on why [[/Why delete|here]].

Though I am no longer very active as a [[Wikipedia:Dealing_with_vandalism|vandal]] fighter, I have a fair bit of experience at [[Wikipedia:RC patrol|RC patrolling]].  I try not to be too trigger happy when it comes to [[Wikipedia:Revert|reverts]], but when I decide to err on the side of caution, it usually is to favor a rollback.  If I've done this to you, rather than complain about it on my talk page, next time use credible [[Wikipedia:Edit summary|edit summaries]].  I'm far less likely to roll back edits that have them.  As far as obvious defacement goes, though I prefer to give vandals a little rope to hang themselves with, I'm not afraid to [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|block]].  For the purpose of dealing with non-productive edits, I leave my sense of humor at the door; this isn't [[Uncyclopedia]].
