I would suggest we try to tidy up the Wikipedia namespace, and move jokes and satire to people's user space. I'm even suggesting this for BJAODN. It would also mean that a user would have to take responsibility for each page. Surely the Wikipedia namespace is just there to help out with the running of the project?
