I'm finding the environment much more congenial. − − My chief aim here is − to facilitate the highest standards of encyclopedia development. − − I was one of the earliest members of the Wikipedia project (UserID #188). I helped institute the following practices or software features there: − [[Image:Ed11.jpg|left|thumb|Ed poor in Newark]] − *Marking edits as 'patrolled' (co-conceived with Maveric who in one marathon period personally checked '''every''' Wikipedia edit for vandalism!) − *Ability of blocked users to edit their own user talk page − *Community ban - i.e., increased authority for sysops to block a disruptive user − *The practice of bureaucrats "running" for office (I was the first one elected, when as a developer I could simply have granted myself the rights) − − Pages I'm proud of there: − *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_personal_remarks Wikipedia:Avoid personal remarks] − *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Writing_for_the_enemy Wikipedia:Writing for the enemy] − *{{wp|Wikipedia:Harmonious_editing_club}} − − ==Favorite contributors== − This is a partial list.

Thank you for your support. − − I believe that users who are here to contribute should get a helping hand, and those who cannot or will not make useful contributions should be shown to the door. But since, "His mercy is forever sure", I don't like applying infinite bans; it's always possible for a person to make up his mind to take a new direction. (I'm currently chewing some tough pills supplied by [[User:TK]], so watch out.) − − I've unprotected a handful of pages and am watching them. I have hopes that eventually all content pages can be freely edited, once they reach a mature and stable state. − − ==Welcome== − − Welcome, I'm Dan.
