"I was really wasting my time...."

"It was enormously fun at first...Please make Wikipedia not suck!"

"......because I was spending more time defending articles than improving them"

WIKI-DORMANT

Dormancy can be a survival technique

WIKI-EDITORS

If not you, who?

"We care about moral issues, nobility, decency, happiness, goodness—--the issues that matter in the real world, but which can only be addressed, in their purity, in fiction" Orson Scott Card

WIKI-PREDATORS

Vandalism...Graffitti...Zero Tolerance Policy...Community Policing

The best weapon against an enemy is another enemy ...Neitzsche

A taste of their own medicine...bang the bangers...vanqish the vandals...

WIKI-KNIGHTS

The thing about knights was...they kept moving...they didnt look back. They had their sites on one goal, VANQUISH THE VANDALS BEFORE THEY VANQUISH US...kinda like the Lone Ranger and Tonto. Did you ever hear of The Masked Man going back into town and asking, "So, How's it going?". He didnt care. He was on to the next little burg that needed his help..."knights in shining armor", "Here they come to save the day"

The Teutonic Knights in 1240 as depicted in Sergei Eisenstein's Alexander Nevsky (1938).

WIKI-GATES

Gated Communities. The rich safeguard their belongings, their treasures, their property within protective walls.

The rich often safeguard their stuff, as in this example at Gisors.

WIKI-WINDMILLS

Don Quixote...maybe this will be my windmill? "Tilting at windmills"...or an Animal Farm fantasy?

Spanish windmills in La Mancha

WIKI-FISHING

Cast many lines. Bait many hooks. Chum the water. The fish are there. You need to find them. They are not looking for you.

WIKI-DORMANT

A well-informed landscaper will plant many varied grass seeds in the same plot-each for different conditions. Some seeds lay dormant, waiting for their opportunity in the sun. Others thrive everywhere. No matter what conditions are, the lawn looks great. Dormancy can be a survival trait.

Hi I restored that page with full history to your userspace and I'll ask you to keep it there because up till now it doesn't really meet Meta's inclusion policy and if brought into Namespace, it will be deleted...--Cometstyles 02:09, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I think Cometstyles is right. This really does not belong to here. Regards, Yann 10:43, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Community Wishlist Survey 2021

We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.

In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.

We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.

We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!
