You want a revolution to make Wikipedia a friendlier place? It isn't going to happen. There is no such place, at least not with the critical mass of human participants that this project needs. Have you been to a city? Have you seen Reddit or 4chan? Participated in a national election? If so, do you really think that the WMF is going to institute some sort of culture program that will solve problems inherent in human nature? _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
