Inactive, unfortunately. Nothing is keeping me away (aside from the usual duties of life), but not enough is drawing me back.--Tznkai (talk) 22:03, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
- Completely and totally incompetent when it comes to the look and feel of user pages, please help
In all of these things I was both a success and a failure.

Personal policies
More information collapsed ...
collapsed |
The following is a content that has been placed in a collapse box for improved usability. |
Administrative actions:
- I will never under any circumstances wheel war. If for some reason it appears that I am doing so, I encourage any and all users to leave me a note on my talk page
- I will not protect an article, if I have made both content edits to that article, AND the current version is substantially similar to a version I have authored.
- I will not take any administrative action if I have good reason to believe my judgment is compromised by favoritism.
Blocking:
- When in doubt, I do not block.
- I prefer shorter blocks to longer blocks.
- I will lean heavily towards indefinite blocks when a user is displaying a battleground mentality.
- I use common sense and tolerance when dealing with users.
- I am more likely to block in cases of incivility, especially combined with personal attacks, deceptive sock puppetry, IP changing, and abuse of administrator noticeboards.
Mailing lists

Permission and access revocation
I explicitly authorize the immediate removal of my sysop permission if any of the following occur:
- Any steward has a reasonable suspicion my account has been compromised (this account should also be blocked indefinitely)
- I have been inactive without warning for more than six months
- I have been inactive beyond posted warning for more than one year.

Today's witticism: TMI. Especially applies to bad writing.
From me
- Something all Wikipedian's should remember.
- Spend more time with your family and/or friends than with Wikipedia.
- Peace-making is the first step in right-making.
- Sometimes you're wrong.
- It can happen to you.
- Wikipedia is huge.
- The more time you spend talking, the more likely you've already said something stupid.
- Don't stand on principle. Be principled, stand on reasons.
- Policy is a tool, not an end.
- Keep threaded discussions short and sweet so new readers can keep up without having to emotional energy catching up.
- Loyalty is the most beguiling of virtues. It leads the evil to kindness, and the kind to meanness.
- Don't use policy as a weapon.
- Sometimes the only solution is one that makes no one happy.
- If you use it like a weapon, consensus will forever be beyond your grasp.
- If a standard process leads you to the right result but takes a lot of work, follow the process. If process leads you to a result you don't like, follow the process. If process leads you to an absurd result, ignore the process.
- Learn the difference between absurd and unfortunate.
- Understand the reasons behind the policy you invoke.
- Contextualization ruins everything.
- A fanatic is someone who has forgotten where they are going - but has redoubled his efforts to get there.
- A partisan is someone who has forgotten that the goal is to win the war, not to beat the enemy.
- To no editor is any process due, but every editor is due respect.
