That is indeed a very interesting post. I can understand the author's feelings very well, it is very easy to overdo and overcomplicate the stuff. That's why we do everything on simple, purely functional basis; we refuse over-complicated guidelines, strict rules and formal complications. So far so good, the articles are not always top-quality, but they are still better then much of the articles already in there.

 

See for yourself our recent changes:

Hope we will have a chance discuss these things in person ;-)

I wanted to draw your attention in particular to this excellent post from
Sophie Österberg from Wikimedia Sverige -- she's put together a very frank list of mistakes she's made and what she has learned from them. I highly encourage everyone to read the post and add your own learnings, either through commenting on the blog post or through discussion on this list. I think it would be great if we got better as a community of bravely sharing not only what goes well, but what doesn't, so that we can all learn from each others' experiences and not make the same mistakes!
Thanks, Sophie, for the great post:
