I particularly enjoy writing biographical articles on [[cricketer]]s. Thanks to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket|WikiProject Cricket]] we do now have at least a stub on every [[Test cricket]]er, but my very (very!) long-term aim is to have ''something'' on every man to have played [[county cricket]] for [[Worcestershire County Cricket Club|Worcestershire]]. However, as there isn't even an article on all the ''captains'' yet it's an ambitious target to say the least! |

Wikiphilosophy
I would characterise myself as a generally enthusiastic but fairly limited editor. I make too many minor but silly mistakes (generally spotted immediately, but even so) to want to be an administrator, despite having made several thousand edits: I try hard, but I don't think I could stand back and coolly reflect enough to do that job. Besides, I don't really want to spend my time on administration: I want to spend it on writing and improving articles. In that connection, I occasionally worry slightly that Wikipedia is becoming too much of a collection of talking shops, and too little of a project to write an encyclopedia.
I'm generally inclusionist, but with a range of prejudices like everybody else: for example, I don't really like the idea that every high school on Earth seems to be be eligible, even though many are only notable very locally, whereas some much more well-known commercial companies are not. Boring Business Systems, which is known to anyone who's typed "boring" into Google, was a good example: that did indeed fail the appropriate notability standards (WP:CORP), so the deletion was correct, but if we applied the same tough standards of notability to schools then so would about 95% of those!
Whinges
(American English speakers please note that this word is supposed to have a G in it!)
There are lots of things I could whinge about, but many of them are simply the result of inexperienced editors making mistakes in good faith, and I've done enough of that in my time! Two things I really wish would improve, though, are the tendency of some editors to put quotes around new article names (eg "Example article title"), and the lack of attention to correct capitalisation - which matters in the second and subsequent words. There are too many Forename surnames around.
Multilicensing
