Almost any form of edit count or tenure weighing would leave this a clear consensus for delete.
Evidences?
What criteria would you consider acceptable?
I've seen people make up tables in the past with both sides listed by number of edits. Quite interesting
Um, I was editing frequently in November 2004 at the latest, if my contribs don't reflect that then there has been dataloss, but I don't see how thats material. I'm not proposing that we treat people like you with over 9k edits, and me with over 20k edits across accounts and projects, or me who was active since the end of 2004 and you since the beginning of 2004 differently.
I was woundering about that. You sure you didn't change accounts or something? I don't think there has been much dataloss of undeleted edits since the switchover to 1.3 and that was fixed.
I'm suggesting we treat users with zero edits, with 50 edits, with 100 edits, with different consideration from users with months of experience. Is that so hard to accept?
Traff for arbcom elections was 150 edits and 3 months. Getting that into place was not fun (and some people still want to get rid of it see [[Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Elections/December_2006#Eligibility_for_candidacy]])
Can you honestly say that there is reason to automatically assume someone with 50 article edits has any real experience unless they tell us so? Or are you you too a proponent of the "Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia... it's an experiment in extreme democracy" school of thought?
No I'm a process is important indidivdual.
Sure, all of us were new at some point... and quite a few of the things I said early on were a waste of other people's time, if not just overtly stupid. Had I been named supreme ruler of Wikipedia in my first week I would have no doubt screwed up it far worse than if I were named supreme ruler today. If you don't believe the same is true of you, you need to take a look in the mirror and go find a good dose of humble.
I would argue that these days my greater knowlage would allow me more varried and spectatular ways of screwing up.However that is beside the point.
Outdated.
Cite? There is also a single Dutch newspaper. I too have been a part of fluff stories in the press, do I get an article now?
Well there are now 4 hits on google news (5 if you count Joystiq twice as google appears to be doing). As for the question of your gettting an article I seem to recall that some of the inclusionists I ran into over the schools issue would probably have said yes.
Wikipedia The Free Pop culture centre of the internet that anyone can edit
Doesn't quite have the same ring to it. :) :)
Maybe but goatse is probably one of our most popular articles.
