Essays
User-space essays
- User:SMcCandlish/Adminship reform – draft proposal (more like a "what if", since it'll never happen unless WMF imposes it)
- User:SMcCandlish/Avoid quoting definitions – author; still in a draft state
- User:SMcCandlish/Bare basics of Wikipedia footnotes – just a little bit of "micro-help" for beginners
- User:SMcCandlish/Discretionary sanctions 2013–2018 review – running log of issues related to WP:AC/DS and ArbCom's failure to address them.
- User:SMcCandlish/Gendered category criterion – draft proposal
- User:SMcCandlish/It – a "ha ha, only serious" piece. [It proved controversial when someone mistook it for "transphobic" because it had anything at all to do with pronouns. It's actually about self-aggrandizement for commercial, religious, classist, or plain ol' egotism reasons, and why Wikipedia will not write in such a manner to please such a subject.]
- User:SMcCandlish/TG-NB – a FAQ on what my actual views on TG/NB/GQ issues are, and on the history and results of the disputes about the above essay
- User:SMcCandlish/Notability and Deletion policy – my personal "ground-truth sitrep" on notability as a concept on WP; updated every few years (since 2006)
- User:SMcCandlish/RfA standards – what I (loosely) expect and do not expect out of candidates for WP:Requests for adminship
- User:SMcCandlish/RfC-replacement voting system – draft proposal (more like a "what if", since it'll never happen unless WMF imposes it)
- User:SMcCandlish/Wikipedia's self-management and future – some thoughts on organizational life-cycle, editor retention, and dispute resolution
