I got confused by a few comments like "The
Wikipedia community, such
as it is" - what, there is no real Wikipedia community?
Also, "It is certainly true that, at the highest levels, Wikipedia is
thoroughly centralized." - another bizarre remark. "Power at the
highest level is concentrated amongst a few people" - yes...isn't that
the definition of "highest level"?
This "An article squatter is someone who is ingratiated to the central
Wikipedia authority and who monitors, in more or less real-time, all
changes made to the article. " is simply nonsense. I don't think such
article squatters have any standing amongst the "central authority" at
all, and I doubt the "central authority" as such is even aware of
their existence.
I'm wondering where he had a run-in or several.
