So wikipedians like me who have (unsucessfully) supported the userboxes are all bad people
just clogging up the system?

Any idea how often people edit their own articles?
That is, how
frequently an outsider publicly makes it known that they are editing
their own article? Once a day? Once a week? We could always have a
set of processes for these situations, where users who are good with
the kid gloves can take them by the hand and help them get the best
out of an awkward situation. There is still the problem of becoming
aware of these situations.
Agreed, fully, with both the problem and the general direction of a
solution.
WP:OFFICE should be a last resort, and long before we get to that point,
we need a way for non-partisan, good wikipedians, who (despite the
userboxers and myspacers clogging up the system lately) are still very
much in control of the project, to find and concentrate some very strong
brainpower on these articles.
