My Wiki philosophy
[edit]Generally, my Wiki philosophy is middle of the road, definitely not an inclusionist since I've nominated several pages for deletion myself. But i AM not a deletionist either, as I've casted keep votes on many occasions. In most cases I adhere to policy and precedents, but I do appreciate the importance of WP:IAR, and I believe if a policy demands us to act unreasonably, then we are not legitimately bound by that policy. Written policy cannot trump reason and common sense.
My Wiki philosophy can be summarized as if an act is beneficial to the quality of our encyclopedia, do it; if not, then refrain from it.
