Jonathan,

I thank you for the flattering remarks about my technical ability.

Bear in mind, though, that my mere 1 week of experience with the Wikipedia database, combined with my utter lack of knowledge of the code it supports, make me reluctant to "back up" any particular proposal to change the database.

So for, the only change I've felt confident about was Jimbo's proposed transformation of T.M.C.'s username to 'TMC'. The query Brion wrote was just a data update, not a change in structure.

Some general rules: 1. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. 2. Don't "fix" something you don't understand. 3. Hacking at something usually leaves knife marks.
