From: "Tony Sidaway" minorityreport@bluebottle.com This would be a month of trying to persuade the culprit to be a good boy. Most of us regard this as A Good Thing.
A month of unsupported original research and POV nonsense present in an article that we are trying to promote as a reliable alternative to paper encyclopedias. A month in which this editor no doubt goes on to insert similar junk into other articles. Multiplied by dozens of editors and thousands of articles. And a month is a low-end estimate of the time taken. I would hope most of us would regard this as A Bad Thing.
I don't think the primary purpose of Wikipedia is to be a reformatory where we gently train and cajole POV warriors into becoming fine upstanding NPOV encyclopedia editors; rather, I think its primary purpose is to create a great encyclopedia.
