[Foundation-l] Show community consensus for Wikilove

[Tobias Oelgarte]

That shouldn't be the issue. The question is the effect. What would make 
you more pleased, a standard message/template that you did good, or a 
personal message from someone from who you know yourself that he watched 
over your work? Personally, I doubt that a simple template machine could 
lead to an increase. It simplifies the progress to leaving such a 
message. But it is also an double edged sword. While it is more likely 
that you will get a friendly message, the messages itself are weakened, 
since they look like a standard templates.

PS: As i wrote some month ago: "Damn. More kittens smashed at ground of 
the talk page, buried by the annoyed user. Great and important feature 
we haz now!"

Why the friendship and camaraderie in editions and talk should reduce the efficiency of quality? Why working in a pleasant ambiete worse results. I think economists and business-men disagree with you.

Using a literary example, Lievin, the landowner, greatly increased his profit by changing the method of work of his moujiks. The moujiks used to work in bad taste and bad-tempered when just followind orders in a bad envronment. When Lievin adopted a collaborative approach, when the moujiks could work without the several rules at a amicable environment, profits rose.
> For Wikis is the same thing. Only the ideals are not enough. We have to have a friendly, a pleasant, a nice environment. We've to make the time of editions a good time to us. We've to smile editing Wikipedia. And know our work is important to the community, moral support. Wikilove make Wikipedia less a obligation and more a thing which we need every single day. This is the point.
