Wikipedia's days are numbered, I fear, consumed by its own nonfeasance. Tribes of influential (= have the most free time on their hands) admins and editors have decided that WP policies say something other than what they actually say. They want to have loose reigns to make WP their playground for their own particular agendas. People who follow strict and standardized interpretations of policies threaten that and must be stalked and rebuffed.
The problem on WP is not so much the obvious trolls but the ones who make editing painful for other editors by repetitive questions, tendentious editing, private agendas hidden beneath yet lord of all arguments; immature teenagers and college students who view biographies of living persons as their private political platform rather than a task requiring the utmost responsibility and mature outlook, all in recognition that words can be like flames and real lives can and sometimes really are ruined or at least permanently altered; people who fill up talk pages with nonsense, who see the truth of contrary arguments yet refuse from selfishness to acknowledge them; who endlessly Wikilawyer the most obvious points, and enforce not the policies but the policies as they privately interpret them through the grid of their own private agendas.
Most people like me ended up at Missing Wikipedians much sooner, and many such people are enjoying the heck out of other, more responsible wikis, and some enjoying reading the jabs at places like Wikitruth. The price that has been paid and will continue to be paid until something changes is a Project in the guise of an encyclopedia that cannot even be cited by 1st graders, lest high schoolers. Welcome to your Wikipedia. I am done. CyberAnth 20:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Given the level of dysfunction that has come to prevail on Wikipedia, the most appropriate course for a principled scientist is to withdraw from the project.
The bureaucracy should either take corrective steps to fix this situation, or else suffer the eventual loss of huge amounts of valuable talent and volunteered resources.
If you agree with this statement, post it to your pages, and pass it on. (discuss this here)

[edit] An FYI
If you are interested or have any pertinent content to add to the case, please see this SPI. Thanks!! Wildhartlivie (talk) 08:31, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- The sock case was confirmed and quite a number of usernames were caught in it. Excuseme99 was the main account. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:41, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Please stop
Please stop airing your grievances about me at the Rorschach test article talk page. It is not an appropriate venue and you are being disruptive to the discussions there.
You can take it to WP:AN if you think I have been acting inappropriately and you don't want to go to my talk page. That last thing that article needs is you and I hashing it out there. Either seek outside scrutiny of my actions, discuss it with me here or on my talk page, or just drop it. Chillum 03:13, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Just an FYI
You may have picked up from me, the term "null edit" to send a message to others in the edit summary. I should probably let you know that I've been intentionally inaccurate in using the term, the correct term is actually dummy edit. I blame Canadian politeness, I worried that people would think "dummy edit" was calling them a dummy, or something like that. =)
I was recently admonished for my careless misuse of the term here: User talk:Xeno#Null edits so I felt I should let you know, in case I was perpetuating an inaccuracy! I've made WP:SMS redirect to the explanation for dummy edit, so I'll probably use that from now on =] –xenotalk 00:59, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] question about Revision as of 01:04, 3 June 2008 on Gabrielle Union page
why was her music video apperences taken off the page? How was it unsourced if you wacth the vids you can clearly she her in them. what kind of a source could i have provided? As for the poorly written how could it have been written better. I'm writing this cause i add a vid to the list and followed how the oringal person created it.the info should be apart of her bio.
Music Videos she has been 3 music video videos in which she starred as the love interest -
- Baby You Are by Uncle Sam 1998 -
- "Paradise" -LL Cool J 2003 -
- "I Love My Chick." - Busta Rhymes' 2006

well first of all like i said i only added one video to the list and that was the Baby You Are video by the singer Uncle Sam. As for it being my opinion that she was the love interest in the vids which would make it unsourced i don't see how that is. It's not just my opinion LL Cool J "Paradise" video was release in connection to Deliver us from Eva in which they where love interest. Unlce Sam's "Baby you are " videos tells the story of the artsit's and her character growing up as friend and then as teenages the began dating and loss contact with each other and just happened to meet again begin to restart that relationship. To me that vids speak for themselves in each the scenes revole around her and the man in the those vids. Watch the music vids and see for yourself i don't have script that says they are lovers it implied. Otherwise a you could have simply rewrote it and said she was the female lead in the vids.they wouldn't have flimed it that way if that not what they wanted the veiwer to think . As for the grammer problems that could have easily been corrected by you or anyone else. link below to the videos
