I have a small request for the wikipedia left hand bar, could a link be added to your recent hcnages page, as in the user contributions for the user you're logged in under, it could go below my page and my talk as my history. I would find it useful, and I know it would be next to no effort to add. Comments?
Also, re the Wikipedians/Anti-Americans I think that if we're going to letp eople categorise themselves, they sohuld be able to categerise themselves into whatever they want to. Moving these pages to metapedia is a nice idea, but at the moments accounts aren't universal (as in you have to register to each wiki seperately), so it could be annoying.

I agree. The work of wikipedia, in my opinion, would be better served if people were able to create and join focus groups of like minded people.
I also think one advantage would include the ability for viewers to see the varied makeup of the wikipedia contributors and thus decide for themselves theusefulness of the encyclopedia to them

Yes, yes it is a reminiscence of previous threads and discussions about creating editor teams and give them some (software ?) tools to cooperate and perhaps certify articles and might be set policies.
Wikiprojects are a good start that can be further worked on.
