It's a weird form of self-harm going on here. I'm getting tired of your aggressive comments and borderline personal attacks - it seems as if you don't care a hoot for what the unpaid volunteers do here. You have not provided any stats that prove that this measure will be detrimental to the Wikipedia. You have ignored the background to this new rule, and refused to read the RfC (because it takes 3 hours to wade through). Please adopt a more respectful tone when slapping the work of dedicated Wkipedians in the face, and think of the volunteers you paid WMFers will lose if you continue on this tack. All you did at Wikimania was to publish a flyer full of proven lies to reinforce your mantra. New Page Patrol is a completely broken process - it's operated by the least experienced of all editors and children who refuse to read the instruction or understand the policies involved. The proponents of this new user right have proven that much - with real stats. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
