I got confused by a few comments like "The Wikipedia community, such as it is" - what, there is no real Wikipedia community? Also, "It is certainly true that, at the highest levels, Wikipedia is thoroughly centralized." - another bizarre remark. "Power at the highest level is concentrated amongst a few people" - yes...isn't that the definition of "highest level"? This "An article squatter is someone who is ingratiated to the central Wikipedia authority and who monitors, in more or less real-time, all changes made to the article. " is simply nonsense. I don't think such article squatters have any standing amongst the "central authority" at all, and I doubt the "central authority" as such is even aware of their existence.
I'm wondering where he had a run-in or several.
