Is the same culture that began WP the same one in place today?
I just crossed my four-year anniversary, and while I can't speak to the
beginning, the culture hasn't really changed much in my time here.
I thought you were here longer than that. I think the culture has
changed. The Seigenthaler incident was a big turning point in that.
After that the rule bound control freaks seem to have become more
dominant. We had to respond to Seigenthaler, but in the process we
ended up with a lot of unnecesarily restrictive procedures.

Definitely agreed. We can't even sensibly discuss restoring anon page
creation, despite the utter lack of evidence either way that it worked.

I think that with a working patrolling/article review/stable versioning
system, it might be okay. The talk was that when patrolling/article
review/stable versioning was added to the software, that anon page creation
might be enabled.
