- Thanks. A couple people have said nice things now, so maybe I'll move it into project space. ɳorɑfʈ^Talk! 18:42, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have ended here after reading the signpost: While I am a main space editor (70% of my edits in mainspace and my sandbox) I have enjoyed the article on this project as a change. From time to time I have found really useful or/and funny essays and I believe they are a great ways of creating "community". Only one point "These situations are uncommon"... I completely disagree: per Zipfs law most articles are only watched by a few editors and most of them do not really care if a (good-aimed) dictator appears into scene... Moreover they are usually most grateful for having a (good-aimed) dictator. Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 22:59, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't myself call someone who was editing a single article in the absence of consensus a Wiktator, else we're all Wiktators a good percentage of the time. I reserve that term for someone who is acting alone in a situation where group decisions should be being made, like a WikiProject. ɳorɑfʈ^Talk! 04:14, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
