I can't fight every issue (though it may sometimes appear I try). In
working within a large organisation, one has to set priorities. In
terms of changing WP practices, I know what mine are: First, requiring
full honesty in biographies (rather than accord with the subject's
wishes), second, retaining and sourcing content (rather than
discarding it); third, fairer treatment and encouragement of new
contributors (rather than deleting stubs & sending impersonal
notices); fourth, expanded & upgraded coverage of traditional academic
subjects. As for the several dozen other things I think important --
perhaps I can encourage some others to concentrate on them.

I'm just shocked how a list that has been through the mills for years has
just suddenly caught everybodies attention. Perhaps listcruft is the new
BLP?

Yes, the tide has turned at afd
against lists, probably without more
than a few percent of WPedians being aware of it. another example of
a small group of people making policy for everyone. I freely admit
they are too strong for me--I no longer comment on most afds on such
articles.
Then they just won. You have to stand up and be counted, or else
what's next? Just make sure your voice is heard. ~~~~
