User:Koala Tea Of Mercy

Today (23 July 2015) I created this account to be able to do things an IP account cannot do, such as create articles, edit semi-protected articles, and track article edits. I am a fairly experienced WP editor though I have much to learn still. For a long time I have been an Unregistered/Anon/IP Editor (with several different IP addresses as my ISP saw fit to dynamically allocate them). I have no plans and no desire to participate in Wikipedia politics (nominations and similar issues) but I may occasionally become involved in content & technical discussions in the WP: namespace. I think it will be interesting to see if being a named entity changes my perspective (or my participation) as being part of this community.

You might be able to tell from the above paragraph that I am a strong believer in the advice from WP:IPHUMAN and I will step forward any time I see what appears to me to be a violation of that essay (which is grounded in policies and guidelines) or any other form of unjustified anti-IP snobbery. Yes, IP editors do sometimes cause problems, I am not blind to that, but I believe (and the stats back me up) that most IP's are benevolent and beneficial to the encyclopedia.
