	:Q: What happened when sea pirates started editing Misplaced Pages?
	:A: We sent them to ]rrrrrrr.

	==Guiding Principles==
	*'''My undertakings should never exceed my expertise'''. I never make substantial edits if I don't know what I'm talking about. Right now I'm of most use doing regular drudgery--reverting vandalism I discover on RC, doing some copyediting, voting on VfD, and so forth.
	*'''More breadth, less depth'''. With only a couple exceptions, I've never done major, in-depth edits of a given article to push it ahead in quality, instead spreading moderate edits across articles as I discover them and see something is to be fixed. Most of my small, transitory watchlist is to oversee and protect articles that I've edited (not in terms of keeping them the way I left them, but in terms of making sure that subsequent edits to an article I've taken a measure of responsibility for are useful, or can be made useful.
	*'''The third way'''. In any editing dispute, I try to find a third way that satisfies both parties to the dispute and also makes Misplaced Pages a better encyclopedia.

	*I am the coiner of ], a term referring to a practice in which a page is blanked or deleted to remove unsalvagably atrocious text and rewritten because the subject is still a good candidate for an article. I hope it catches on.
	*Began ], a proposed project to merge otherwise redundant information.
	**As a test case, merged list from article ] into the Gay Icons category--a project that required over 500 edits. Reactions to the test case will hopefully determine if the project moves forward, and if so, what we will do the same and what we will do differently. If you have an opinion, please post it at ]
