''We need admins that can make snap judgements, and then go back and gracefully change what they did if it turns out wrong (that is very important, this is a wiki and we are making it all up as we go along), and at the same time admins who can think long and hard about complicated things and make the right decision on the first try, and admins who can tell which approach is needed in which case.''[[User:Lar]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_adminship%2FGuinnog&diff=72007194&oldid=71989171 here] |

I had been using [[Wikipedia]] and following the news stories about it for quite a while when I got into an argument with someone on a newsgroup about Wikipedia's reliability as a source. As I defended the Wiki principle of "anyone can edit", I realised that I could be editing instead of talking about it. That was in late 2005. |
|||
I wouldn't spend as much time as I do on it if I didn't still think Wikipedia was a great project. It attracts predominantly the right sort of people, who want to write an on-line encyclopedia of human knowledge. |
|||
How cool is that? |
|||
I respect the goals of the project, and so I support Wikipedia philosophies and policies, particularly [[WP:AGF]], [[WP:CIVIL]], [[WP:3RR]], [[WP:NPOV]] and [[WP:VAND]], to the hilt. For my favourite policy, see [[WP:BEANS]]. |
|||
[http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?DefendEachOther This] is amazing! It sums up how we can use conflicts to build our community instead of letting them tear us apart. I recommend that everyone read it. |

*Copyediting |

*[[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|Disambiguating links]] |

*Uploading and editing images using the various [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|copyright tags]] |
|||
*Fixing spelling erors using [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]]. Great fun! I now do this under the account [[User:Spellmaster]]. I strive very hard for total accuracy, but if I make a mistake, please revert (if you wish), and drop me a message in my [[User talk:Guinnog|talk page]] so I know you consider it a mistake and can improve my edits. |

|||
*'Botswanan': in two years living there, I never heard this variant. The preferred adjective is 'Botswana'. See [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Africa#Botswanan|this discussion]]. |
|||
*Chemical elements wrongly capitalised; it's "[[iron]]", "[[oxygen]]" and "[[boron]]", not "Iron", "Oxygen" and "Boron". Simple. Also Over-Capitalisation Of Section And Article Titles. |
|||
*"It should be noted that" and even the word "notable". If it isn't notable, it doesn't belong here. 'Ironically'; '''who''' found it ironic? 'Actually'; 'in fact'; these are the equivalent of saying 'honestly' and may make a statement '''less''' believable, not more. 'Used' is usually better than 'utilised' or 'utilized'. |
|||
*'Would' wrongly used instead of the past tense, as in "1995 would be a difficult year for Yeltsin". 'Was' is fine. |
|||
*'However' and other linking words deployed without thought as to their meaning. |
|||
*Overlinking in general. Incomplete dates wrongly linked (there's hardly ever any point in linking years, months or days of the week). [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)]] has changed to allow some ambiguity here, but I still generally go with [[Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context]]. See also the [[/date linking|date linking debate]]. 'Easter-egg' links like <nowiki>[[1996 in stamp-collecting|1996]]</nowiki>. [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)|Disambig pages with extra and/or piped links]]. |
|||
*The proliferation of flag icons on pages where they add nothing, like biographies or band articles; see [[WP:FLAG|this essay]] for an interesting take on why we should resist this dumbing-down of our encyclopedia. |
|||
*Humourous. Honourary. [[Hypercorrection]] at its most extreme. See [[User:Spellmaster|here]] for details. |
|||
*Seminal. Legendary. Iconic. Epochal. Unless it's sourced, no. See [[WP:WEASEL|weasel words]]. |
