RC patrol was not originaly pure anti vandalism.)
Maybe I'm being stupid, but I can't separate fighting vandalism from
fighting all the other junk that Wikipedia gets. Aye, they're
different, and categorised differently, but if I see a copyvio I'm
going to tag it, if I see an AfD-worthy article, I'll AfD it. Are you
suggesting that these activities should be ignored by this group of
users?
Thier IRC softwear is designed to deal with vandalism. RC patrol
tradtionaly covered a lot of sub vadalism (bady formated edits POV
pushing that kind of thing).
With respect, Minister, I disagree.
You are free to do that. Did you know how long it took for wiki.png to
carry the "This image is copyrighted by the Wikimedia foundation."
stuff?
A project entitled a "project" gives a
wholly different impression to
one labelled a "unit".
Really?
I am missing a key part of your logic: how does the
CVU encourage
users to start RC patrolling in a way that a less organisational page
wouldn't?
The community side. Group identity.
I didn't say "the average Wikipedian", I
said "other Wikipedians". Difference.

to make the mistakes you suggest.
