Good, but the tip needs to have a few explanations for people such as myself who misunderstand it. Also, a brief outline of the internals would be good. I'm thinking of the following: "The fundamental mapping that makes full-screen editing possible imap <A-o> <C-o> imap <A-;> <C-o>: > I do not see the name "Fritzophrenic" on the wiki page in question. > By "the concerns raised by Fritzophrenic (who added the "dodgy" > tag)" do you mean the following?: > > "Not enough explanation.

After clicking "history" at the top of the page at http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Mappings_to_facilitate_the_creation_of_text it is possible to work out that Fritzophrenic added that tag in August 2009 (Fritzophrenic has a user page telling people he is Ben Fritz, a frequent contributor here).
