I've decided to give writing articles another go, but with a definite focus on quality over quantity this time. That means no more one-paragraph articles about marginally notable footballers! The recent trend away from presuming notability for sportspeople in general is very encouraging in my opinion; not only will it improve the quality of the encyclopedia, it should also help to address the woeful gender gap in terms of biographical articles.
