		<description>I think Chris9086&#039;s &quot;I was bored and searched my username on google&quot; sums up the  not quite past adolescence, male  demographic of Wikipedia editors and admins. The questions to me are why are these people the predominant group running Wikipedia, and what is it about Wikipedia&#039;s culture or administration that encourages comparatively immature and inexperienced people like Chris9086, or more spectacularly, Essjay, to do so well in the organization?

It&#039;s my anecdotal impression that Wikipedia&#039;s quality has actually gotten worse and not better in areas like basic usage and spelling over the past two to three years even as standards have supposedly become more rigorous and administration has become more heavy handed. Maybe someone could do a time series spell check over the life of an article.</description>

		<description>New to Wikepedia. Posted article about my indie label / band. Didn&#039;t know there is a musician section on Wikepedia. My article was similar to what I saw on Wikepedia. Fast deleted. Posted back. Confused. Indefinate block by RYULONG. Gets his kicks this way. 

I say screw Wikipedia and Jimbi Wales. They had something good, but now the NAZIS run Wikipedia - deleting good faith entries without any explanation so users can learn or grow.</description>

		<description>Sounds like Wikipedia. It&#039;s getting worse, too. Sysops and Wales are under the impression that the site is becoming more important, but traffic does not equal respectability, or even reliability, for that matter.</description>

		<description>I know the feeling about deletions.  The article on Rolando Gomez, which was approved years ago after a deletion review, is currently in deletion review.   It had been nominated for a second AfD, only after the original deletionist, Ryulong along with the help of Stifle did everything to delete it.  Ryulong went so far, that during the 2nd AfD, he would delete links that were posted that established notability about Gomez, a three time author, public speaker, and one of the 30 world-wide selected Lexar Elite Photographers.  Not to mention Gomez was selected in 1994 by the Department of Defense as one of the top five military photographers in the world.

It was this deletion of reliable source links during an AfD that was horrendous injustice to an article that was allowed on Wikipedia two years ago.  During the 2nd Afd, photographer Jerry Avenaim, at the time recently approved on Wikipedia, entered the discussion and his comments were discredited on the basis he had something to gain.  Not to mention the Deputy Public Affairs, Operations of the U.S. Air Force even commented during the review, he too was chastised.  

The irony, the Lexar Elite Photographer link is on Avenaims Wiki page as an approved source.  Wiki is turning into a &quot;clicks rule&quot; state.  It&#039;s sad!  I call your attention to this ongoing deletion review: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2008_November_29#Rolando_Gomez  Thanks!</description>

		<description>Air travel has become a major part of our society, with industries and individuals depending on air transport for their livelihood. But have you ever wondered what happens to the artifacts of our airborne culture when they&#039;re no longer needed? &lt;a href=&quot;http://weburbanist.com/2008/10/14/abandoned-airfields-airports-aircraft-airplanes/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;More..&lt;/a&gt;

		<description>[...] This is a quick update on my previous post, where I pledged to make a stand on the deletion of [[Pownce]] in Wikipedia. Recap: Pownce is a new Web 2.0 site started by Kevin Rose of Digg.com fame. While it&#8217;s not particularly unique (see Twitter, Jaiku, etc) it is newsworthy and has been written up in BusinessWeek and has been the buzz of Silicon Valley. [...]</description>

		<description>I interviewed my mother twice in 2006 and wrote an article about her for Wikipedia. Sheâ€™s internationally recognized in &quot;Who&#039;s Who in America&quot;, with IMDb credits, and the article carried solid references, and her work was blessed by the Pope. The articles were clearly deleted out of personal animosity. It&#039;s appalling.</description>
