Richardcavell is Richard Cavell, a man from Melbourne, Australia. You may email him by clicking here and leaving a message. I am related to Edith Cavell.

I am an administrator. I consider myself open to recall in the following way: If five logged-in users place their names in good faith to a petition on my talk page requesting recall, then I will subject myself to RfA and be bound by the outcome.

I'm a doctor with interests in anatomy/radiology and medical law/forensics/administration. I like to make small corrections every now and then. I also occasionally contribute articles on medical topics. I'm interested in Aussie showbusiness, particularly community access television, such as Channel 31 Australia. I often create stubs and initiate new parts of articles.

I hate paedophiles and I enjoy shaming them. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Here are some articles that I've contributed substantially to:

The contributions that I'm most proud of, though, are grammatical/spelling/usage upgrades. Although you may see this as pedantic and unhelpful, I think that it is important to use the language correctly. It gives so much credibility to wikipedia to have precise, concise expression.

RfA:

I believe that Requests for Administration are being used as a forum to indulge in editcountitis. It seems to me that the principal criterion for supporting Administrator requests is a person's edit count, regardless of the quality of those edits. This means that Administrator status is being used as a kind of automatic reward for time-serving. The principal criterion should be whether or not Misplaced Pages would benefit from the candidate being given the admin tools. I have therefore been spending time at RfA.

I'm an advocate of giving anti-vandal tools, such as automated rollback, to registered users who are not admins.

XfD:

I've also been spending time at AfD/RfD. I think that these debates tend to stray too far toward deletionism. I at least want to have my say before good articles and redirects get deleted.

I'm also an advocate of making WP:VSCA a criterion for speedy deletion.

I don't see anything wrong with crossing namespaces with redirects when it helps a person find what he or she is looking for.

A Barnstar! The Barnstar of Diligence
In recognition of balanced, thoughtful and above all dedicated performance on AfD debates of all flavours. Rarely do editors straddle the inclusionist / deletionist divide so effectively. Deizio talk 23:24, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
