Every little bit helps.
Another issue that admins are quite prone to (along with many seasoned editors) is that they tend to get *really* overprotective of articles. They tend to get this, 'we have written this *wonderful* article, and we have established that nobody can edit it without persuading the Committee Who Likes To Say No to say yes at talk pages X and then we'll consult different committees at Y, Z and maybe A, B as well if you get that far, otherwise we'll revert everything you do because it isn't Our Consensus And You Haven't Discussed It(tm)* and then report you on ANI for being Disruptive (tm)'. I mean We Really Like This Article (tm), why are you editing it, don't you like this article? > -- > -george william herbert > [email protected] n.b. *Consensus (tm) means we simpy vote and you simply lose; what's that you say? There's a policy about consensus? What's a policy? We outnumber you. ;-) -- -Ian Woollard We live in an imperfectly imperfect world. Life in a perfectly imperfect world would be much better. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
