Re: I have lost interest in Wikipedia
Wow, are they really sending out wait, come baaack emails? Hilarious if true. Certainly believable.

I have lost interest in discussing Wikipedia
Hello,
I got an email from here, Wikipedia Sucks, about whether I was interested in discussing the state of Wikipedia. I have lost interest entirely, but still hope that Wikipedia declines.

Re: The problem with Wikipedia's discouragement of paid editing
Wikipedia doesn't recognise time..... * Editors contributions are irrelevant (i.e. their time is unimportant) * Wikipedia has no deadline (because why would anyone want a finished encyclopedia!) * Ten hours work to ban a bad actor who wasted one hour or volunteer time?
