I think some of your comments are exhibiting an unfamiliarity with the
tangled mess that is MediaWiki/Wikipedia. Have you done much work on
MediaWiki or worked with the replicated databases at all (particularly the
databases of the larger sites)? An outside voice is great, but yours comes
off as rather naïve.
