But if all the author is doing is contributing
"crap" (defined as "articles
which are speediable"), this is not something where we need to go to the
talkpage and say "pull your head in and piss off, ya mug". Perhaps the author
didn't understand about copyright law, or that we aren't a place to write
about your favourite indie band (well, depends on the band), or that we don't
accept articles that look like spam. A warning might send him away, and that
will stop the new articles; but a kind word could result in the new articles
staying, but being *good*.
And you might actually touch someone, and make a positive difference.
Terrific attitude, Mark. Wikipedia needs many, many more like you.
Wikipedia: the living encyclopedia!
