Thank you for this, too.
An environment where criticism is possible is necessary to us not sucking. Fortunately, Wikipedia is pretty good at self-examination.

It surprises me when our odder critics claim Wikipedia is the personality cult of Jimbo Wales. I really can't imagine L. Ron Hubbard putting up with the crap Jimbo does ...
