I am starting over, making a clean start with a new user name. And as of today, a new focus, if all goes well. It has come to my attention that what I call wiki-termites are eating through the math section of wikipedia. Rather than working on creating new content, I think for a while I want to work on addressing this issue. What I mean by wiki-termites are people who when you look at their contributions spend more time editing the manual of stype than they do working on creating content, and tend to troll article deletion discussions. From now on, I want to be very carefull to use this account exclusively for monitoring deletion discussions, and the plots hatched against nieve new users on some of the discussion groups that I am learning about. I indend to be a super hero, coming to the aid of humble workers who create content, when they are harrassed by what can seem to a new user to be people not just wiki-hounding but like a pack of wiki-hienias ripping apart hard working users. I might user this account from time to time to revert vandalism as well, but as far as a content creater, from this account least those days are over.

While I try hard to follow all rules, the rules of Wikipedia are so convoluted, that sometimes some of the rules are hard to follow particularly the ignore all rules policy.

A subject I am currently researching is:Wikipedia:Editing_FAQ#How_long_should_the_ideal_article_be.3F

I am reading this article Wikipedia:How_to_break_up_a_page

I am looking at this template Template:Details and this style Wikipedia:Summary_style

I am reading this article with interest Wikipedia:Vandalism

Participating in this discussion User_talk:David_Eppstein#Feeling_Wikihounded

I am monitoring this discussion group Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics as it appears to have a history of being used to secretly plot against inexperienced users.
