- The wikilawyers and trolls always want a codified set of rules on an issue, so they can subvert the spirit while adhering to the letter. Fortunately, percentagewise,they don't account for a high proportion of Wikipedians. Most people can get by with some rough idea of what is expected, and the realisation that the system is relatively forgiving in the case of good-faith mistakes. Do we codify 'relatively forgiving'? Hell no. -charles matthews

- Jimbo's request
- Recently Jimbo said that he thought political and religious userboxes were harming the project, and asked Wikipedians to remove any they had on their userpages and to ask others to do the same. I decided to take up this suggestion, and I've been cataloguing all the users whose user or talk pages I've edited over the past year, and are still active, to see which of them do and do not use political or religious userboxes. The results (see link above) are interesting.
