Uh, I think pointing out obvious problems counts, particularly when the solution offered is to do the same things that are already problematic twice as hard. The hard part is to lead the community to a standard of living bio that is suitable. * What makes a valid research source is not something teenagers on a website can make up off the top of their heads and expect to get right, but that's what WP:RS is. See the talk page if you don't believe me. Hubris and enthusiasm don't make competence, unfortunately. * No guideline or policy will protect against stupidity or malice, and those that try to will be a millstone for good faith editors. But time and time again, the community reaction has been to add more policies and guidelines in the hope these will protect against stupidity or malice, and blame the good faith editors for not following the bad guidelines hard enough. See the current arbitration case on the matter. - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
