This user strongly supports IP editing, even if he does not do so himself.
Thanks for visiting my userpage! My name's Tony, and I'm a user here just like you. I was formerly an administrator, CheckUser, and Oversighter, but unfortunately I don't have much time for Wikipedia anymore, so I handed those flags in. I still like to pontificate because I think more highly of myself than I should, which is why I am still a member of the functionaries list. I think that adds some value to the project and when I feel it stops adding value, I plan on resigning that as well.
At various points in my time on Wikipedia I’ve been involved in improving processes, creating content, working against abuse and harassment, and even making a few changes to our overall view on article creation. These days, unfortunately, I don’t have as much time for Wikipedia as I’d like.
Despite the fact that most of my work now focuses behind the scenes, I’m a firm believer that we are fundamentally here to build an encyclopedia and that our content work is the reason for our existence. All that we do should be done with the question of what improves Wikipedia for the reader in mind, and I hope every edit or action I take works towards that goal.
WP:BLOCKNAZIS and WP:CRYRACIST: two sections of an essay that I wrote that deal with how Wikipedia should deal with neo-nazism, white supremacism, violent racism, and false accusations of the same.
User:TonyBallioni/Community loss-- Essay that deals with how we as a community handle people leaving our project, and I think is at least semi-coherent.
Wikipedia:Don't cite bite: an essay that points out when a newcomer tells someone that they're biting them, they know enough about Wikipedia not to be a newcomer.
