Hi, you can call me Madeline, Maddy, or Laura. I'm mainly interested in trans- and [[WP:WIRED]]-related areas, but I also do a lot of non-text-writing work when I'm feeling down, see for example the collapsed list below. I'm active in closing [[WP:RM|requested moves]], currently being on a trial period for the [[WP:page mover|page mover]] user right, and trying to gain experience determining consensus in other kinds of discussions, too. I can often be found on [[Libera Chat]] with the nickname <code>lav</code>. (I am currently not that much on IRC; check my away status if in doubt.) Download my [[Pretty Good Privacy|PGP]] public key [https://keys.openpgp.org/vks/v1/by-fingerprint/5B7F47E94B895CDE7A9B2ECA3B00917091CB2201 here].

==Thoughts from Celeste Mountain==
===Notability===
In the case of marginally notable topics, consider how we best [[WP:READER|serve the reader]] &ndash; if we cannot say much of substance without becoming a carbon copy of the subject's website or of a tabloid news article, it is kinder to our {{wikt-lang|fr|lectrice}} to say nothing at all. But if we can tell a little, enough for the future casually interested surfer, who stumbled upon a {{wikt-lang|la|nomen}} out of context, to satisfy their curiosity, we must by all means do so. In particular, articles on organizations and contemporary people often fall in the former group, where our writings are not only redundant but may for the lack of a true NPOV pass off promotion as balance, whereas bygone events and persons rarely have promotional materials to plagiarize, and even a short stub may be a helpful summary.

===Verifiability is truth===
It is commonly cited that the minimum condition for inclusion is [[Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth|verifiability, not truth]]. However, for Wikipedia's purposes, verifiability <em>is</em> truth. We can't call something true without evidence, and our standard of evidence is [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability from reliable, published sources]].

===On [[WP:ROPE]]===
When discussing the already painful topic of editor behaviour, the last thing anyone needs is to think of hangings. Please just use [[WP:LASTCHANCE]] instead.

===AGF and experience===
Occasionally the question comes up, whether experienced editors should be afforded more or less [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|assumption of good faith]] than newcomers. I think there is a distinction to be drawn between good-faith goals and good-faith methods, and that that distinction is relevant here.

Working towards good-faith goals means wanting to make a better Wikipedia. This encompasses all behaviour that isn't [[wp:vandalism|vandalism]]. A significant proportion of new editors are here to vandalize, while editors who put in any significant amount of effort into Wikipedia rarely vandalize.

Someone who is trying to improve Wikipedia might still resort to methods that consciously contradict the [[wp:editing policy|editing policy]]. An editor might be so convinced they are right on some matter that they resort to [[Master suppression techniques|domination techniques]] or [[wp:sockpuppetry|sockpuppetry]] to achieve their goals. Such techniques may be used by editors of any level of experience, but newcomers cannot be assumed to be familiar with our editing procedures; as such, it can be reasonable to allow inexperienced editors some leeway under circumstances where a more experienced editor may be seen as acting unambiguously maliciously, if the situation could instead be explained by a fundamental misunderstanding of how Wikipedia works.
