The  heading was to gain attention - i did not say Wikipedia was a cult (One
can  leave at any time etc), although it does have aspects of that like you
say  Wikilawyers. My end point is that wikipedia is not a great place  for
inexperienced wikipedians. Mentorship is a little wikilove or behave  you've
been a bad boy. If anyone can contribute to an article and an  article has
some notability, the cite warriors (sometimes listing three  sentences in the
same paragraph, when its quite obvious they all came from  the same source),
and Notability counters in Afd - no nobility with less  than 10,000 google
relevent hits, should leave well  alone.


Sorry about the kneejerk. It's a touchy subject  :)
