Some info Who am I? Martijn Hoekstra, obviously; born in 1982. I'm currently living in Alkmaar, The Netherlands. I help out on sorts of stuff on Wikipedia. I strife to be a great content creator, but in reality I'm more a bit of a wikignome. I feel that we as a community are doing a lot of things right, and a fair share of things wrong. The greatest problem I think we face at the moment is that we are caught in a downward spiral of bad content and unwelcoming community. There is too much shit coming in, there are too few people who spend their time cleaning said shit up, they have too little time to give new contributors a proper welcome, explain what they did right, and how to improve what they are doing, driving them off in the process. I don't know the proper solution to this, but something involving flagged revisions, to give cleanup some breathing space while they take more time to mentor new contributors is a good step forward. This userpage isn't the prettiest of all userpages. The main reason for that is that I just can't be arsed to improve it. If you can do better (and that is probably the case), by all means, go ahead!. People Who Have Made This Page Prettier Goldencako justice RezMar (custom sig!)
