User:Pro crast in a tor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, I edit wikipedia when I should probably be doing other, more productive work.

Here are my contributions to Wikipedia thus far. Just think how much progress I might have made on personal projects had I not been here! But, alas, the time has already been spent, and in a semi-productive fashion.

I often don't cite sources correctly, but this link is helpful the times that I do.

I am annoyed at the deletionist tendencies of Wikipedian culture.[1] The criteria for deleting a page appears to be at odds with what I consider common sense: would a user searching for an article be better off with a quality article about the subject, or with a blank page? Someone can make headlines in dozens of newspapers including NY Times and Washington Post, and have 120,000 hits in Google, yet be deleted due to BLP1E. I think BLP1E and notability requirements are currently too strict, and that there should be room for exceptions.
