And how do we clean up all of the leftover hoaxes? Or
do we just say, "Oh, well, that was created on April
1, we'll just live with it."?

I'm pretty sure my watchlist is under 500 articles, but I got too many
errors in that as well recently. Funnily enough "my contributions"
works fine.

If you won't do it again, then I'll unblock you.
There, done.

What is the consensus regarding examples of an artist's work in an article?
It's been suggested that I ask Dr. Laura Brodian, [[Kelly Freas]]'s
widow, to release digital copies of some of his illustrations under the
GFDL.
Kelly's article is currently rather short (I can't remain neutral about
him), and the text would be overwhelmed if more than a handful of images
were added. Would a supplementary article -- [[Artwork of Kelly Freas]]
-- be appropriate?
Most importantly, if I persuade Laura to give away some of her late
husband's work, will her generosity be welcomed to Wikipedia, or will it
be promptly nominated for deletion as non-encyclopedic
Wikipedia-is-not-a-gallery Hugo-winning-art-cruft?

Is anyone else surprised that Answers.com doesn't seem to follow GFDL
or CCbySA conditions with regard to images used from Wikipedia, such as
crediting authors:

Or am I misunderstanding the process?

You didn't pay attention to what I wrote: "I would support the inclusion of any
verifiable, on-topic and noteworthy information". In your example, how would
this information be verifiable, notable or on-topic in an encyclopedia article?
There's very little harm you can do by posting verifiable information because,
by definition, you can already get the information somewhere else.

I thought unblocking was a kinda nice thing for me to do. I'm sorry you
disagree :P
