Bull. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It's not a publishable one, for a
variety of reasons, quality only being one. But it's clearly an
encyclopedia.

Yes. But I've seen nobody provide any evidence that there was a rash
of crazies we couldn't deal with leading to the implementation of
[[WP:RS]] and [[WP:N]]. Or that there was a sudden decrease in
crazies when we had them. Or, really, any correlation between the
two, little yet causality.
