Uncontroversial

  • Ask chapters to compete to nurture the greatest number of female administrators.[1]
  • Bring all articles on birth control to featured status in all language wikipedias.[2]
  • Provide easily accessible contact information for people who are

willing and able to mentor new contributors. (And related proposals which I believe the English Wikipedia is already upholding.)[3]

  • Demote Wikipe-tan from English Wikipedia mascot to WikiProject Anime mascot, replacing her with Puzzly.[4]
  • Support a multilateral tax haven treaty in the US and any other countries that might still be opposing one.[5]
  • Less javascript for mobile devices.[6]
  • Remove WP:NOTHOWTO because it is used to argue against topic notability but is not well respected.[12]

Controversial

  • Revive Esperanza and the Association of Editors' Advocates with a focus on editor mentoring.[13]
