User from way back: after long break, rejoined under fresh name initially to concentrate on art topics, but I take a broad interest here. Personally, I think generalism should be mandatory on Wikipedia because single-purpose accounts are so seldom anything but tendentious.

I also think Wikipedia would be improved by simplifying the conflict of interest system (I suggest that editing in COI areas should still be allowed, but with a simple and rapid veto mechanism of a topic ban if a consensus of uninvolved editors feels it appropriate).

I'd like to see far more awareness at admin and arbcom level of the problem of Wikipedia:Civil POV pushing, a form of low-level disruptive editing whose highly toxic long-term effects often go unrecognised, simply because on short-term examination there's nothing overt enough to merit action.

[edit] Note on e-mails

You can e-mail me; but any kind of threat may be posted publically for discussion. Wikipedia's privacy rules - WP:EMAIL#Abuse handling - don't exist to make behind-the-scenes harassment, aimed at altering content/discusion, impossible to report. By e-mailing me you accept that I am not bound by any kind of bogus agreements within the e-mail enjoining me to privacy.
