[WikiEN-l] Cruft

[Pete Bartlett]

Jargon such as "-cruft" and "nn" is not helpful for newbies.

I think what gets peoples backs up more than that is the sight of 7 or 8
people all writing the same thing (*'''Strong delete'''. NN listcruft ~~~~)
on nomination after nomination. We get the message after three, ok!
