Gratuitous pirate joke:
: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.

Even though he's revealed his true identity on Misplaced Pages, Phil Welch still likes to pretend he is anonymous.

I am Philip L. Welch, senior at Washington State University double-majoring in Philosophy and Management Information Systems and planning to graduate in December of 2006. My first logged-in edit still on record was on February 2, 2004.
