The heading was to gain attention - i did not say Wikipedia was a cult (One can leave at any time etc), although it does have aspects of that like you say Wikilawyers. My end point is that wikipedia is not a great place for inexperienced wikipedians. Mentorship is a little wikilove or behave you've been a bad boy. If anyone can contribute to an article and an article has some notability, the cite warriors (sometimes listing three sentences in the same paragraph, when its quite obvious they all came from the same source), and Notability counters in Afd - no nobility with less than 10,000 google relevent hits, should leave well alone.

Trotskyists value themselves on the amounts of "newspapers" they have sold. - Trotskyists spend more time discussing policy that actually doing groundwork. - Trotskyists would rather die than have a kind word for somebody who has left the movement.

Who are these people who respond well to criticism from outsiders? And what's wrong with them? How do I find my edit count, by the way? I tried doing that thing that's over at RfA, the math tool at the bottom of the nomination, and I swear I saw an edit count once before using it, and a way to see my own, but it just says I don't have authorization to access it (yeah, I won't ask why or what, I wouldn't want anyone to have to kill me).

G'day KP, You could try something like: < http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=KPB… (watch out for the wrap) If I've got your username wrong, just change the "username=" value to the correct one. Wikimedia sites seem to be down for me at the moment, though everything else works, so I'll just have to trust that this actually works. -- Mark Gallagher "'Yes, sir,' said Jeeves in a low, cold voice, as if he had been bitten in the leg by a personal friend." - P G Wodehouse, /Carry On, Jeeves/ _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
