WikiInterests

Wikipedia Interests (and topics that I am likely to contribute to):

  • Reggae and Jamaican music in general
  • Popular and alternative music
  • Software Development
  • IT
  • East Midlands local interest and local government

Wikipedia annoyances

  • People who nominate articles for deletion without making any effort to determine whether the subject is notable and/or improve the articles in question
  • Abuse of speedy-delete tags (by non-vandals), and the fact that WP doesn't have adequate measures for dealing with such abuse. Examples of articles that I 'rescued' because they were wrongly tagged for speedy deletion in one week in December 2007: Lillie Pope, Floyd Johnson, Greg Hartley, Peter Peters, Gospel Gangstaz. Who knows how many others get wrongly deleted because nobody spots them in time?
  • Editors who subtly troll without actually violating any WP policies or guidelines, but nonetheless seem to delight in winding other editors up
  • Incivility
