Gentle suggestion for new accounts interested in I/P articles

If you want to edit I/P articles and don't meet the standards set by the Arbitration Committee for that subject area (30-day account age + 500 edits), go to the article talk page and do an edit request. There is an Edit Request Wizard that you can use (link is to the button "The page is protected")

Don't email to ask me to do the edit for you. I won't reply, and I won't comply with your request. I will refer you to the Arbitration Committee. I don't know who you are, and for all I know, you may be trying to get me in trouble.

Note to myself. These are the templates used for I/P welcomes for IP users not acquainted with the rules:

{{subst:welcome-arbpia}} ~~~~
{{subst:alert/first|a-i}} ~~~~

Articles I've created or substantially revised

Not an article, but I wrote it and I rather like it:

I am also active in suggesting articles for deletion and, when my eyes can stand it, vandal-fighting. I think that de-crapifying Wikipedia is at least as important as adding content. Wikipedia is a hotbed of fancruft, self-written articles by employees of third-rate companies, and overemphasis on subjects plucked off the Internet. It greatly underemphasizes subjects of great importance that don't have a fan base or following.

To-do list

Why I am cynical about Wikipedia

Don't sell IP editors short

Awards and recognition, DYKs, etc.
