I think most of us contribute as we feel that this is our encyclopedia. This is especially true for those not being paid but I am sure it also applies to those on staff as well. An us versus them mentality does not add anything. We are all here for one main purpose " to write the best encyclopedia we can ". I do not like the idea of patting ourselves on the back just because we are doing a great job compared to a standard corporation / business. Wikipedia is not a standard business and that is why it works. That software cannot be written using the same open format as Wikipedia has been proved false by both Linux and Firefox. I think Bold, Revert, Discuss can be used at all levels and that stifling discussion is never appropriate. I do agree that sometimes one needs to implemented the change to create something to discuss ( see the first word of the three above ).
