Hi, I'm Everyking. I have been a ] since February 2004. I was also an ]. Feel free to leave a message for me on my talk page.

==About me==
I am from the ] of ]. I primarily enjoy topics related to history, politics, and culture.

I am a strong believer that ]. I promote the idea that community-oriented decision-making combined with a definite rules-based structure are necessary elements of mature project governance. I oppose the practice of controversial decisions being taken by individual admins; I oppose "boldness" with regard to admin actions. It is important that admins are very clearly subject to the community and simultaneously a part of the community: admins should be carrying out the community's wishes with regard to policy, and they should deliberate with other admins and the broader community when they encounter difficult situations.

Regarding article content and topics, I am strongly inclusionist—I believe that all verifiable information that meets a reasonable minimum standard of notability should be included. I think that as Misplaced Pages grows both in content and contributors, it becomes more inclusionist as a whole—there is a tendency to be more willing to include greater amounts of information, to approach topics more deeply and broadly than before. This is a tendency that should be anticipated and encouraged, alongside the tendency towards improving ''quality'' along with ''quantity''—to expand content with minimal restriction but also to stress the importance of good writing and referencing. At the summit of Misplaced Pages's potential is a vast, unmatched collection of human knowledge, freely available to all and open to the contributions of everyone.

Wiki works!

==New articles==
Some people have suggested that there is a shortage of subjects for new articles. I believe, on the contrary, that the number of subjects needing articles is vast and effectively limitless. Starting in December 2008, I am setting myself a goal of creating one new article per day. If I miss a day, I will aim to create additional articles in subsequent days to compensate. I'll record my progress on this page, along with previous months for comparison.

January 2009 update: this project is on hold for a while, as I wasn't getting enough to time to expand all of the articles I was creating and the self-imposed pressure was starting to irritate me. Hopefully I will restart it soon.
