And on a side note, I'm rather suprised to find myself--long classed by some as a ruthless deletionist, described here as an extreme inclusionist.
Described where as "an extreme inclusionist"?
That is my ba:, I've used that label on Tony, if not here then on the wiki and on IRC. I don't do it as an insult, for I don't think it's something someone should find insulting... But rather statement about how I see his position: At the far inclusionist end of the spectrum.
Tony has suggested in his previous comments on the list that it would probably good for me to generate an article for every roadway intersection that I can get solid verifiable information on...
I don't mean to claim that Tony would support keeping nonsense, for such people I'd probably use the word vandal :). Just that he has a liberal idea of what should be included as compared to mine, and that there are few would would wish to include more (the only things left that Tony would not include are things that are not possibly NPOV and things that are not verifiable, and I think we have near consensus on those requirements being a bare minimum for inclusion).
I've used the title inclusionist rather than saying Tony because he is not alone in his position and I have no issue with him. I use the term not to criticize Tony but to make sure that I am not singling him out.
