There might be a lot of academics touting one study or another as ground-breaking, making it GFDL and linking sixty subjects to it that are only tangentially relevant, then putting a lot of weight on WP:OWN, WP:COI and other anti-bias policy like WP:AWW. Who knows, really, how long any great influx of newbies might last or how productive such a call might be? Might get a wave of people who can fix up a whole sub-category in one sitting, too, if they're determined, and nobody does wholesale reverts for one persistent error.

If all spoke to all, then one word would be too much. Now way to force people into closely holding their e-mail address is polite.

If it doesn't, then some internet service provider is providing uncommon terms of service that are not acceptable to me.
