I throughly oppose a requirement to notify people
who have expressed
(through not using their watchlists) a desire not to continue
discussing their contributions.
That is breathtaking arrogant Jesse.
I apologize for coming across as arrogant.
Reading it over, I can see
how it can be read that way, and I'll try to be more humble in my
comments in the future.
A sizeable proportion of AfDed articles
are written by anonymous contributors.
Even though creating articles without
logging in has been disallowed
for months now? How is this possible? Do the few articles made
through [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation]] get nominated to AfD so
often?
Are you frightened that if contributors get involved
we might actually
have to keep some of the articles?!
No, actually, I'm not. Thanks for asking,
though. In fact, many
contributors to AfD'd articles *do* get involved in AfD, and many
articles listed at AfD *are* kept, already. As for my personal views,
I'm quite a strong inclusionist, myself.
Thanks for the discussion, and I look forward to further replies,
Jesse Weinstein
