I think this is not the best attitude. (Especially since we can't stop
any Wikimedia wiki using our content, so it's a kinda hollow threat.)
If Commons is going to serve its primary useful purpose, it definitely
needs the acceptance and cooperation of Wikimedia wikis. Alienating
projects with a "if you don't like it, tough" attitude seems
counterproductive.
I really want better deletion tools as I am required
to do a thousand
deletions per day to keep up with backlog (as it is now). It is
theoretically impossible for us to deal with the commons backlog at the rate
of increasing backlog versus the rate of successfully admin candidates.
Commons backlog is actualy already out of control.
Nice of you to notice, it's been like that as long as I've been paying
attention, too. ;)
Anyway getting Magnus on side is always a good start to any
sideproject for the Commons, so I look forward to seeing what you guys
can come up with.
