I came here in 2006, and one of the things i wanted to do was to write about things I considered important. I very quickly found that these topics were considered less than notable by those people active in deciding whether to keep articles.
I soon realized I would not get far arguing for my specific topics to be better covered, as there were too few people interested in doing the work for them,. I deliberately adopted a general position of strong inclusionism in the hope that those interested in other topics often considered non-notable would also work for a general relaxation of standards, and thus include my topics also. My catchphrase was that we needed to have tolerance for each others' interests. And so it proved: the very restrictive arguments common then are rarely heard at present.
