I am also active in suggesting articles for deletion and, when my eyes can stand it, vandal-fighting. I think that de-crapifying Wikipedia is at least as important as adding content. Wikipedia is a hotbed of fancruft, self-written articles by employees of third-rate companies, and overemphasis on subjects plucked off the Internet. It greatly underemphasizes subjects of great importance that don't have a fan base or following.
To-do list
Remove all the unnecessary pages cluttering my watchlist!!!!'
