[WikiEN-l] Link removal experiment; Re: "How the Professor Who Fooled Wikipedia Got Caught by Reddit", _The Atlantic_

[Carcharoth]

PS. You didn't have to spam links to your 'experiment' in the revert
edit summaries, you know. Some good-faith editors may get upset by
that. The edit summary was:

"rv test of editors for this page; you failed. see
http://www.gwern.net/In%20Defense%20Of%20Inclusionism#sins-of-omission-experiment-2"

This is something else that could have benefitted from outside input.
Some of the attitude you have towards all this rolls off the page,
with phrases such as "perhaps editors collectively know that putting a
link into a section named ‘External Links’ is painting a cross-hair on
its forehead". My view is that if such experiments are to be carried
out, it would be better if they were designed and conducted by those
able to restrain themselves from such snark.
