| Raul654: oh, and snowspinner, I've come to a conclusion | |||
| Raul654: making policy on wikipedia is hard | |||
| Raul654: because there are people who oppose any common sense measures | |||
| JamesF: Raul> Indeed. | |||
| Snowspinner: Yes. I came to that conclusion as well. | |||
| Raul654: I have decided that it's better to shoot first and ask questions later ;) | |||
| Snowspinner: Cool. | |||
| Snowspinner: I'm in that camp too now. | |||
| Raul654: seriously | |||
| Raul654: don't worry about making common sense policy | |||
| Raul654: just do things with common sense | |||
| Raul654: and wait for policy to catch up | |||

| I briefly considered running for the arbitration committee, before withdrawing on the grounds that I felt I could better serve Misplaced Pages by compiling evidence instead of hearing it. An expanded version of my statement and beliefs on the role of the arbcom can be found at ] | |||
| i am largely an inclusionist, and do not think that an article need be perfect to be worth keeping. I think a lot of articles that go on VfD get deleted when what they need is a serious rewrite. What follows is a list of articles I've "saved" from VfD by providing some amount of rewrite. | |||

When you get over the shock of having such a scary number of people voting for you, you should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the ] before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the ]. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the ] helpful. Good luck. :) ]] 17:56, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC) | |||
