That explains a lot. This person that continuously makes outrageous proposals, or just tries to plug his marginal project, isn't even a collaborator of Wikipedia.I know this is an open list, but this lack of self restrain is almost spam. I'm sure many of the subscribers to the list are getting at least a bit annoyed with him, but are too polite to say it.
Well, I am not polite enough. Stirling, if you don't like our project and policies, please feel free not to adopt them in yours, but leave us alone, and stop making noise on the list.
Sorry to the rest of the list by this completely unproductive message.

I know this is an open list, but the least one could ask is that if you are going to make attacks, you bother to make sure you are shooting at the right person.

Just made an ass of myself, worse that NSK ever had. My apologies to Stirling Newberry. I'll shut up for at least a year.

If I had to shut up that long each time I made an ass of myself, then you would never hear from me again.
We all make mistakes - we are all human. :)

People should learn to spell 'Newberry', too :-) j's scratchpad seems to like the idea of a commentable citation index, btw. If you come to the next meetup you can meet her in person...

I think reviewing our policies is a very valid thing to do. Even more so if those policies mean we are technically not conforming to the GFDL and/or they mean that potential good contributors are being discouraged. "This is the correct way because it is the way we are doing it" is not the kind of logic that is beneficial to the project.
