I have been a wikipedian for nearly five years. In that time, I have formed (and reformed) many views on the jungle of wikpiedia policy and process. Some of the following observations are long-simmered views; others are snapshots of attempts to resolve difficult questions in the context of specific events. Either way, this is a draft essay that attempts to share views, insights, and opinions that I think other editors may find useful.
