[WikiEN-l] Just what *is* Jimbo's role anyway?

[Jimmy Wales]

This bit of exchange happened at the end of a longer email but I wanted 
to feature it more prominently in case other people had the 
misunderstanding that I have somehow "wiped out months of work".

The removal of two redirects does not amount to wiping out months of work.

I don't think any work was wiped out at all!  At the present time the 
only change from yesterday at this time is that WP:V and WP:NOR do not 
redirect to sections in WP:ATT, but instead declare themselves to be 
merely explanatory whereas WP:ATT is canonical.

Therefore, with respect to the situation yesterday, there has only be a 
slight editorial change.
