[Foundation-l] Pictures of Bangkok riots

[Waerth]

When I joined wikipedia 5 years ago we had something called ASSUME GOOD 
FAITH. That meant that you didn't nominate stuff for deletion first. You 
ASKED someone first! I have been on the projects for well over 5 years 
now, I have written over 1000 articles. People could ask first. How is 
the project hurt if someone waits a day instead of within an hour 
nominating something for deletion without asking first.

The problem is all these selfmade programs with which the admins do 
their adminning. They just press a button and everything is done. No 
brains are used anymore. You could have a monkey be an admin on 
wikipedia and no-one would notice the difference.

Wikipedia used to be a human project once. It is now ruled by robots and 
automated responses. Which means that people have forgotten that if you 
see an experienced user ERR on the wrong you ask him first and not 
immediately put something up for deletion. Another wikipedian, Jojan 
asked me politely first so I did what he asked. Ciell put up for 
deletion first and only after I got angry she asked ... wrong order!

And no I will not add the license myself, I am waiting for Ciell to do it.
