delete junk pages, keep the flow of Votes For Deletion in check (that's 
a pain in the ****, I don't do that much), keep an eye on vandals (be 
suspicious of IPs and new names, basically, and diff their edits. sad

surprises when I see all the great material people add).
mediate edit wars if you've the stomach for it
