Exactly. I am generally reluctant to tell people exactly what the
complainer has said, because there is a tiny minority who seems to think
that this is some kind of censorship by me or the Wikimedia Foundation
and/or a call to arms.
Usually, it is just an article that sucks, and a POV warrior grasping at
straws to protect nonsense.
There are times that I think adopting the rule jp.wiki
has on
biographies would be a damn good idea...
AH!!!!! Please tell us! I love cross-cultural wikipedia differences.
It seems that (not to raise a completely other absurd Wikipedia issue)
the Germans have taught us how to deal with idiotic userboxes... can the
Japanese teach us how to deal with bios?
