Please, can we not reason from the worst-case behaviour of the system? Taking anecdotal evidence as decisive, rather than trying to define the scale of admitted problems, is unworthy of the project.

I've been waiting for this voice of reason. As much as I appreciate Adam Carr's work, scores of useful contributors have come and become valuable members of the community.
There are about 500-700 very active Wikipedians in EN recently, up from 300 at the beginning of the year. Let's try to get beyond the anecdotal.
