Well, that I should ask you people. I find myself engaged in a flame war with three persons whose total number of contributions to Wikipedia are less than that of mine alone.
Here I want to ask the community: 1. Do you consider this a flame war? I believe I am discussing in a very rational manner. 2. How should we appeal to the community if not through the mailing list? 3. Does seniority and number of contributions count in the community during a discussion of issue at hand?
And remind you, if you have not already known, one of Chinese Wikipedia's founding member, [[User:Lorenzarius]], was from Hong Kong. And he was one of the main opposer of splitting Chinese Wikipedia into Simplified and Traditional version before there was a conversion script. And [[User:Tomchiukc]] is still an active Hong Kong Wikipedian.
I don't understand why that is relevant to the issue.
I will very much like to hear their opinions on this issue. They may bring some good insights. Can you invite them or should I?
