But the overarching focus of both arb com cases was surrounding VfD. As for the correlation of the "oh shit graph" to inclusionism/deletionism: A restriction of new article creation to registered users only was put in place in December 2005."

I would say that is at least partially a direct result. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
