Please Read : A Personal Appeal To Wikipedia Founder Jimmy WalesTechCrunchEditor's Note. This is a guest post by Hunter Walk who spends way too much time researching 1980s hair metal bands on Wikipedia. …
This is actually a pretty good idea. I had the same idea

That's hilarious. If Walk had bothered to look into the "community"'s opinion of this, he would have realized how toxic and hostile the basement-dwelling admin patrol is. Then he would have also realized that Wales is not a "leader", he is a figurehead. They "love" him, but they do not obey him.
TechCrunch is famous for running halfbaked bullshit like that.
