Wikiphilosophy
= Netoholic's Law =
As a wiki discussion grows longer, the probability of an accusation by one user of another acting unilaterally approaches one.
: Look, I've made thousands of "unilateral" edits, so probably have you. It's a wiki. Get over it.
:Corollary: One can substitute any of the following for "unilaterally", and the law still works -- "against consensus", "mindlessly", "carelessly", "out of process". Any of these words indicates you might be facing off against a wiki-warrior.
= Other wisdom =
- The opposite of deletionism is not inclusionism; rather, the opposite is contribution.
- Wikipedia:Ignore all rules does not mean "Fuck the rules".
Citing WP:IAR isn't something to get you out of giving a good explanation. Its an apology you give when keeping track of the rules got too unbearable and you just wanted to write an encyclopedia. There are people who have good sense. There are idiots. A consensus of idiots does not override good sense. Wikipedia is not a democracy. - It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission.
- You don't have to like your subject to write a sound article about it. Sometimes it's better not to like it, as there's a greater incentive to be neutral. - [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Sitush/Carol_Moore&diff=625836522&oldid=625836317 Peridon]
- /Admins
- Let he who is without POV cast the first {{tl|cn}}.
- The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name.
