[Foundation-l] [EWW] Edit Wikipedia Week

[Dan Rosenthal]

Brian: before you continue talking, and noting that I still don't see  
you in #veropedia

Veropedia gets it's articles by parsing a Wikipedia article,  
generating a list of improvements (404s, disambigs, malformed  
templates, bad templates, readability indices etc.) and then the  
veropedian IMPROVES THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE until it passes the  
veropedia test, at which point it is uploaded.

There is no folding stuff back into WP. Waking up on the wrong side  
of the bed is no excuse for making a contentious statement on a topic  
you apparently know nothing about. Sorry, I tried to be nice about it  
in the last email, but your response is plain childish.
