On the other hand, the degree of external scrutiny of the site is vastly increased, and this has led to some jittery times. I recommend editing articles. Really, it all makes more sense if you look at the working enviroment in terms of the work.
The external scrutiny seems to have led to a "bunker mentality" among some of the dominant personalities on Wikipedia, where they think the sky is falling and insist that we all need to circle our wagons against the outside attackers, and anybody not supporting them is supporting The Terrorists.
