Yes, but I don't necessarily agree with those rules. A
lot of the 'policy' currently at Simple has been
written by 142 over the past couple of weeks and I
haven't got round to looking at all of it yet. Of the
pages I have seen; look at the talk pages of those
articles and you will see that I have stated I
disagree with quite a bit of it.
I see no reason why people with poor English writing
skills shouldn't contribute to it. IMO, it is better
to have poorly written content that none at all, and I
personally find it easier to edit what someone else
has written than to write it from scratch.

they are not English (or kids).
I think that was something 142 wrote. I am against
making generalisations about the characteristics of
the people that might be reading or editing the
encyclopedia.
