What I do here: mainly I look at new pages and delete the junk. If the creator needs a nudge in the right direction, I try to give that to them as well. I'm not much of a writer, but deleting inappropriate pages doesn't require much skill in that area. G1 does not apply to pages in the user namespaceI use common sense but this doesn't mean I'm magically right. When I screw up, please let me know.
Stuff to work on:
Hobby quality R/C needs major help
Stay on top of Misplaced Pages:Governance reform
Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_on_Adminship/Role_of_admins is some kind of fast-track admin-granting process really possible?
Should sceptre and ceremonial mace be separate articles?

Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_adminship
Unsolved recurring problems on Misplaced Pages:
- Many editors have a poor understanding of when to be bold and when to just give their opinion. Commenting on a controversy is generally alright; engaging in controversies is generally not good.
- Personal relationships between editors cloud their judgement. This is equally true whether that personal relationship is one of friendship or animosity.
- We have no good way of dealing with good editors who also do bad things. There's a huge bloc of editors who believe that past useful service excuses nearly anything.
- People operating in certain controversial areas get burned out quickly and too often end up being part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
- People say it won't scale. Sometimes it scales OK, sometimes not. More editors means more work for everybody? (One thing that might be needed: raise the bar for expected civilized behavior.)
- We have a bunch of foolish editors running around Misplaced Pages who think that "no personal attacks" and "assume good faith" mean "no criticism is allowed."
- More admins are probably needed. But we're somewhat dysfunctional at picking them. Individually we might be smart about it, but put us together and it's crowd behavior.
