==The Bathysphere article==
Hi! Thanks so much for your note about Dr. Beebe and the bathysphere. I do appreciate you asking me about your plans, but really there is no need at all - you are doing a magnificent job and I am thrilled with all you have been doing. I think your idea to get the bathysphere article up to scratch before completing the Beebe article makes good sense, but it might be worthwhile popping a brief note explaining what you are doing on the Beebe Talk Page. BTW, is there any chance you could add that wonderful early photo (File:BeebeGuiana.png) of Dr. Beebe with his collecting net, sun umbrella, etc. into the article soon - maybe before you do the bathysphere one? It is just such a wonderful image! I think it will make the article really interesting to many who come upon the page. Cheers, and thanks for all your fine work - I am so happy someone has taken it up properly. ] (]) 22:56, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Over the past few months, I’ve come to believe that WP:IAR is one of the most under-appreciated policies on Misplaced Pages, especially when dealing with suspected sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry. The purpose of processes such as SPI is to prevent people from disrupting Misplaced Pages using sockpuppet accounts. Accounts that have been registered for the purpose of disruption obviously need to be blocked, but it should be possible to determine that based primarily on whether or not their editing behavior is disruptive. When the effort to identify and block suspected sockpuppets or meatpuppets is causing more disruption than the accounts themselves are causing, such as indef-blocking editors who have made nothing but constructive contributions based on the suspicion that they might be socks, this policy is being misused to have the opposite effect from how it’s intended. See also this arbitration principle.

Since joining Misplaced Pages I’ve contributed mostly to articles about science, politics, and areas where the two intersect, such as creationism/evolution and controversies over the biology of race. I might at some point get involved in Misplaced Pages’s articles on climate change, but I’m very hesitant to do so because I get the impression that these articles’ editing environment is one of the most contentious and drama-ridden anywhere on Misplaced Pages. I’m also interested in paleontology, but it’s surprisingly difficult to find paleontology information that needs to be included in articles that hasn’t already been added by someone else.
Articles to which I’ve contributed a lot (in chronological order) are:
