We're just curious. We aren't judging your proposals
based on who they're coming from, but if they sound
ridiculous, then the way we look at them does depend on
who you are. If it was, say, any known active Wikipedian,
then we'd know for sure that something has to be
corrected. But musings from someone who is not active on
Wikipedia are likely to be way off.
From your postings, I think we've already established
you aren't an
active editor - that's okay with me. But you should know
that trying to cover this up will only hurt your
reputation instead of enhancing it.

Hi,
I think it would be a good idea if people could examine
ideas and decide on their
usefulness without considering
who proposed these ideas.
Consider for example that it is possible that a
well-known community member may say
something wrong and a
newcomer can say something useful.
So, although some people may be somewhat sceptical
seeing a non-familiar name in
their To: headers, they
should examine the ideas and not the poster; or at least
this is my opinion.
>thanks a lot for the constructive criticism.i will take
heed of all of it.sorry
if any of my ideas pissed anyone
off.since i am not a regular wikipedian i think i will shut
my mouth in future.
