Hi Steven. Yes, I'm trying to get more involved in all the projects. Frankly, there's a lot more to read and get checked off since the last time I contributed. :) Have you gone to Wikipediocracy lately? There was a thread where they asked who has been banned or indef blocked, and I believe something like 2/3 of the people who replied were editors in good standing. In fact, some of the more active users on this list and well respected members of the community are also active on WO. I'm not suggesting that people on this list should get active on WO. The trash talk is not for the faint-of-heart. I actually wish that many of the issues they discuss over there were discussed more over here; I have looked in to many of them using secondary sources (usually on WP itself), and they seem to be very valid concerns with suggestions that may help address- or at least start a discussion about- some of the biggest challenges facing WP. I can post the list of concerns (without the trash talk, of course) that we've put together on WO in this forum, if that would help you get a better idea of what is going on over there. Would you like to help me get to know more about the community? My talk page is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wllm; we can talk more about newb stuff over there.
