Wikipedia Review will make me feel right at home? You mean they'll address this issue which none of you Wikipedia administrators intend to, particularly David Gerard?

You guys are running a reckless website and actually receive a deserved amount of negative press.
"Wikipedia Review will make me feel right at home?"
Sort-of. Maybe after a bit of flaming, just like everywhere.
"You mean they'll address this issue which none of you Wikipedia administrators intend to, particularly David Gerard?"
They will let you say your piece, and then respond to it. It helps to vent to a third-party, and it's possible there might be someone who can help you fix up the article so that it does pass muster who knows. It's worth a shot isn't it?
"What's the fucking point of you guys being administrators when you won't address important issues?"
The more you say *fucking* the more people feel sympathy for you. Or is that the other way round? At any rates, we're not all administrators. And I suppose it's possible that Alan Cabal is more important than say "are there any burritos left?", but I've never heard of him before today.
"Since when is it okay to speedy delete a new article re-created with the intentions of addressing all of Wikipedia's notability demands?"
We are willing here I'm sure to hear what changes you've instituted that make it pass. So far I haven't heard anything specific and I'm too lazy to compare the articles in detail. But you see to have a lot of energy and maybe you could be more forthcoming.
"You guys are running a reckless website and actually receive a deserved amount of negative press."
Wikipedia is reckless. Makes me feel sort-of excited or something. But really Bill, you know there are listeners who are sympathetic to inclusionism, so I'm not sure what advantage you're getting by trying to paint us all with a broad brush here. You catch more flies with honey you know.
