[wikipedian7]

You forgot edit summary ;)

[v4lkyr]

Never possible, because the wikipedia-nazis don't want non-premium users to edit anything, even if they add really valuable information.

And then when you are done editing, some mod comes along and reverts everything because you forgot to sign something, and so the edit war begins

@rtsownage I'd like you to take my apology for getting you totally wrong.

So I have made a donation to wikimedia now. I hope you enjoy your work.

[rtsownage]

@CharlieFliege Sure. If I didn't believe that, I would not be a MediaWiki developer. So please note the _HUGE_ sarcasm tags around my initial comment :)

[CharlieFliege]

@rtsownage Wait again, read and think it over!

People can change the world - and if you don't know that by now you will have to learn it too. Anyone can do a very little part of it, but if you only show up here to give some stupid remarks without knowing anything about any security matters you have to learn fortiori.

Well... I believe that the rules on how to edit wikipedia are pretty strict in order not to support only one point of view on controversial subjects. I'm pretty sure that if one expresses both sides without supporting any, nobody will delete those edits. Plus, before editing a text there has to be a loooong talk in the talk pages!
