User:Chris is me/Ideology
Here are some of my Wikipedia beliefs:
What I think of rules
[edit]I believe that NPOV is a vital policy that people should strive for as much as possible. People sometimes say that neutrality is impossible, that the author is always bound to make an article biased. To avoid letting your biases get the best of you, one can simply write the article form the perspective of someone who doesn't give a damn about an issue (but is well informed)! No opinions, undue weight, or bullshit!
I believe that notability is terrible execution of the idea of "content-control". The rationale for notability is that articles that are "nn" are often non-neutral, filled with OR, and are uncitable. It is a good thing to delete articles that are uncitable or OR, but is it good to delete something that can be cited and non-or but is "non-notable"? No! If it can be a good, article, keep it. If it can't, delete it! Simple indeed.
Policies I Break (or Broke in the Past), and Should Really Follow
[edit]This one bites me in the ass so much. I completely agree with it, but oftentimes I make little slips, like calling a troll an "idiot" in a rage resulting from him telling me how he will evade blocks using his dynamic IP addresses. Other "little slips" include calling Cyde "out of his mind" for asking someone to go to DRV to restore a {{db-author}}-ed userpage (although I didn't know that it would have been deleted through MFD, but whatever).
Major slips include mocking someone who wanted to keep some cruft article I nominated for deletion. Whoops. But that was over a year ago, so I'm okay now.
Would this include nominating episode summaries for deletion twice?
Over a year ago, luckily. Nothing too bad since.
