Interesting "hopeful sign" this morning, and one of those "fun to have a long watchlist" moments as well:

Unregistered guy comes in and adds something, is reverted, complains, and someone comes along and finds the sources and re-adds it. Comment in reply is kinda funny too.

Nice watchlist moment because I see a lot of abandoned fields with this stuff, as well as active fields where it persists as a weed (not native here).

I suppose it's the exception that proves the rule. Gzukier might have been closer to the truth, had he written "you've learned one of the wikipedia secrets; if you make some noise, there's a good chance somebody will notice and hear, and then block you from editing."

Yeah, that was the funny part . Lonely planet should publish a tour guide.

Well, that dispute involved Jerusalem (well, artichokes, not the city), so somebody should find a way to bring in debates over Israel, Zionism, and anti-Semitism... and there's also a mention in that message thread of a Lutheran pastor, so the whole Martin Luther business could get dragged in somehow.

Mesmells paranoia.

At least methinks me doth.
