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

I am relaxed, particularly since I assumed with all the flames and
smoke and mirrors there wouldn't be an immediate and direct answer but
rather side trip responses.  If I had been expecting an answer,
though, I might not be relaxed.  But thanks for caring about my state
of physical well-being.

And, yes, doing tedium work is a good way to spend a little extra time
on Wikipedia.

Oh, and in the meantime I found a real conspiracy on Wikipedia this
week, also, and had oen of my comments about it oversighted.  Rather
than feeling the need to scream about the cabal, I find it highly
entertaining.
