You are going the Node way now? Everytime someone discusses something with him he comes up with these mysterious off-wiki "experts" who he quotes. I really would like it if you could solve it with the people who are on-wiki if there is a problem. They are the people you work together with. They ARE the community within wikimedia. Not some outsiders who feel having to comment but not work together is a great thing to do.
Excuse me!!!?
As Gerard said, this is a cheap shot.
Gerard and I have had our fair share of disagreements, but I have not known him to be sour towards me by default, or to accuse people of doing things "the Node way".
You've said before that you're worried about the Nauruan Wikipedia... did you apply for adminship there? Well, I'm worried about it too, and I did apply for adminship.
There is nothing wrong with citing experts. If I ask some expert on psychology whether or not the English Wikipedia's article on paranoid scizophrenia is right, and he tells me what the problems are and how we can fix it, I think that his word should certainly count for more than the two Wikipedians who disagree with him but have no credentials, if they're right, they may find their own experts to ask.
Even Heiko Evermann, with whom I don't exactly have a nice relationship, didn't stoop as low as have you by accusing someone (publicly, at that) of doing it "the Node way".
Hartlich greuten, Mark
