[WikiEN-l] Are there really articles on Wikipedia that need fixing, or just gossip that needs hashed?

If anything, getting involved in arguments like this actually increases
my editing output. I find that doing large amounts of repetitive and
uncontroversial work, such as categorization, format tidying, reference
markup, etc., is a great way to work off the frustration and annoyance.

I don't _like_ it, though, so I wouldn't exactly recommend it as a
motivator.
