[WikiEN-l] Article Rescue Squadron: Combat medics urgently needed

[David Goodman]

There is almost always a way of removing real junk immediately. 99% of
the time it fits speedy-- and gets deleted.  (I do my share, and have
very little tolerance for self-advertising and pranks, and this is
also true of KP and all similarly inclined people I know). Challenges
to speedy that are clearly not in good faith get rejected, and the
articles removed none the less (I do my share of that, also, and I
know what to do with schoolboy gaming the system when I see it.) .The
few times it gets to AfD it doesn't usually wait the 5 days.
Don't confuse honest disagreement about the contents of wikipedia on
particular topics --or even a somewhat different view of it in general
-- with the lack of a desire to keep it clean, and keep the contents
worthy.
