I created a new page, this time I did it right. Angela
would be proud.
[[Wikipedia:anti-elitism]] is based on a couple of Internet articles
that
old guy, whatsisname, some philosophy professor who helped out for a few
months in Wikipedia's early days. Oh, yeah, Larry Sanger.
I was wondering where all this VFD-RFC-RFA stuff was really heading, so
I
dipped into MeatBall, and that led me to the social dynamics of wikis -
which ended up with Larry's critique of Wikipedia's anti-elitism.
He sees it as causing our 2 biggest problems:
1. a perception of unreliability (justified or not)
2. an often unpleasant an even hostile working atmosphere
Well, I'm off to my 5:30 P.M. irc meeting. Do check out the proposed
policy
page, if you're interested in the big picture. Sanger's no slouch.

Looks like an interesting topic, please don't delete the page before I
get back from work and get a chance to look at it. :) just kidding Ed,
definately looks like an interesting proposal.
