I was speaking to a politician a few days ago about what I do with
myself. Let me say that one startlingly important thing we can do is
to double-check and make sure *every* politician above the dog-catcher
level in the UK has a decent-quality article. (This one does.)

"They can say what they like, just spell my URL right." How many hits
does wikipedia.com (not .org) get as a percentage, btw?

Hi,
If Sam Spade needs time to take his finals, I have no problem suspending
the arbitration process for a week in order to give him time to gather
any more evidence he thinks would be pursuasive. I am currently taking a
break from editing pending the arbitration outcome, but I suspect Wiki
will not collapse without my input. I can also take a break from
discussion pages and replying to the arbitration pages. I have recently
been converted to the eventualist camp. My keyboard thanks you. :-)

Your post is long on ranting and notably short on evidence.
Please provide diffs illustrating your claim of conflict of interest.

I have been fighting vandalism extensively for the last few
months. The proposed policy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Wikipedia:Semi-protection_policy will substantially improve things in
RC patrol and enable editors and admin doing this thankless job,
easier and more successful.
Please take a look and help make this a policy.

Does anyone have any idea how long this experiment will last? Just curious.
Also, would there be a way to estimate how effective this experiment is?
I.e. comparison of number of deleted new pages, etc. There should be a way
to measure the effectiveness of this experiment.
Thanks!

*Probably* not. Fair use can include and has included up to the entire
work in question.

Since anonymous users have been experimentally prevented from adding
new articles, I have created [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation]].
This allows users to request that a page be created, and list initial
content. I hope that this will dampen the effect of this policy
change on the creation of legitimate articles. I hope that others
will consider adding this to their watchlist and helping out with this
task; any registered user can fulfill these requests, or state why
they think a request should not be fulfilled (article already exists
under different name, etc.).
