This user thinks that users who insert a userbox on their page that says they "try to do the right thing" and if they "make a mistake" they would like to be "told" are being incredibly hypocritical if they also fervently insist that they have made no mistake and aggressively "defend" themselves against anyone who tries to tell them.

This user thinks that retirement and semi-retirement are serious issues facing Wikipedia and its need for better editor retention. Claims to retirement or semi-retirement should not be made lightly. This user believes that editors with more than one average edit per week over the past month should not claim to be "retired" and editors with more than one average edit per day over the past month should not claim to be "semi-retired"

This user recognizes that Wikipedia is not censored, but also recognizes that the majority of instances of that principle being invoked in practice seem to be the result of people wanting to use vulgar language in an uncivil manner on talk pages, and wanting to insert erotic or nude images (I won't judge intent by saying "pornographic images", mind) where they don't really belong, when it should be about writing what can be reliably sourced regardless of what this or that government or other body might think of our being allowed to write it.

This user rescues articles for the Article Rescue Squadron, the right way, by improving articles; but this user also opposes canvassing, thinks that the encyclopedia is not helped by POV-forks and shitty perma-stubs, thinks that most editors who go around calling themselves "inclusionists" are doing so because of a battleground mentality, and knows that the majority of people out in the real world agree with him that Wikipedia is better off now that we no longer have a poorly-written, primary-sourced article on every single Pokemon.

This user tends slightly more to "delete" than "keep" for reasons that most of his AFD involvement consists of opening AFDs and attempting to counterbalance auto-keep !votes from disruptive editors.

The Encyclopedia is, and always has been, a fraud.

There are a lot of reasons I am not as active on this site as I once was. The main one is that my current job and various IRL volunteering keeps me too busy. Another is a series of unpleasant experiences on this site between 2014 and 2019. But even though the ones responsible for the latter are mostly not around anymore, and even though the former doesn't apply every single day any more than it did in 2015 or 2018, I've come to a realization since 2021, and especially since Hbomberguy's most recent YouTube video as of February 2024. Writing content for Wikipedia just leaves one open to having the awkward awareness that one is being plagiarized by everyone all over the Internet but has no power to do anything about it or the credibility to be listened to when you point out that the plagiarists are misreading one's work. Saying "I wrote the Wikipedia article on the Nara Basin" doesn't give you credibility in online circles when you point out that a for-profit pseudo-academic publication was clearly copy-pasting from your work and clumsily/arbitrarily cutting words to cover their tracks.
