Wikipedia-related commentary
editDeletion debates
editThe so-called "Arguments to avoid" cover every freakin' argument I can possibly think of. If I am unable to have a voice without an argument that ISN'T on that damned list, then I'm screwed. How the hell am I supposed to make a point without being throttled down by some stupid acronym? I also try to talk to those who are flinging those freakin' acronyms around, but I can't, because they'll just keep flinging them.
How long does it take to stop a vandal?
editAfter sufficiently warning a repeat vandal, I reported the vandal to the Administrator intervention page. The vandal got in several more vandalizing edits before being blocked. There was absolutely nothing I, as a non-admin, could do until nearly 20 minutes later when the vandal was finally blocked. That's just bad.
Actual userpage
editI like letting the userboxes speak for themselves. If you can come up with a good way to keep them organized, I'd like to hear it.
