Re: [Wikimedia-l] Why are articles being deleted?

I know David in real life so maybe I am not as objective as I could be but I know how hard he works and how diligent he is about this admin work he does. He is doing the devil's work in my opinion. I couldn't do what he does so I'm thankful for his efforts. Thank you David. When David has flagged

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Why are articles being deleted?

Thanks for the responses. I think the overarching thought I have is that Wikipedia needs to learn as much from editors as editors need to learn from Wikipedia. I'm glad other editors are responding and focusing on this. I'm doing remote support of an editathon today so I will work on assisting on

A number of us are currently discussing this situation on IRC. (: I believe that the immediate concern is being addressed, and we are also discussing ways of improving the deletion process on ENWP. Pine On Sat, Jun 25, 2016 at 11:21 PM, carl hansen wrote: > Mitar, >

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Why are articles being deleted?
