The Wikipedia principle of maximum excitement
few days ago I had a more than bizarre observation on the deletion of the Wikipedia page. As someone put some 20 deletion requests to various articles on fountains. Specifically, these were by one short statement of the subject and including a random point-like, linked list of such articles. A concrete example of this, the article " Samson fountain is. These articles were to his opinion, the problem to be classified erroneously as a list, even though it is to Definitions concerns. Can see it that way but you do not. Instead of this, but easy to change, he just had to make deletion requests - after 30 minutes the whole thing was done by the cooperation of some others.
Another recent deletion debate is about the article on the VW Passat B7 . This car is as safe as the Amen in the church on 2 be presented in October 2010, with a little luck, already 1-2 days earlier. Nevertheless, there is now a deletion discussion with "a bubble" (which means "pie"), which also call for various user Delete. Why must now make an admin work to delete the item and restoring in 4 weeks know well the clear proponents themselves.
Another common problem of this type are so-called barrier tests at users that were closed because of a derailment or a verbal Editwars for 30 minutes. Since then the debate ends, whether the block was justified by saying "Done, because lock expired." - Such discussions often take several hours otherwise. At the same time could breathe the locked users simply once, then selbige almost expired.
Not at all I would like to start with a plethora of fighting applications with the express intention that the article would be your revised. After
all such discussions - there are also see Editwars and barrier methods to sentence structure and spelling, delete discussions about typos or an infinite number of users that any measures of evidence that its newly created articles something important is missing, as the reason for which is interspersed with verbal gaffes vandalism message - I'm always more to the realization that there is a "secret principle of Wikipedia." This principle I call the "principle of maximum Wikipedia excitement." This principle follows the principle that a problem which could be small and unobtrusive resolve quickly without any user would be offended because of or to a discussion (even a major) comes necessarily solve it must, that a large number is involved in previously uninvolved people in it, the one whose change is shown obvious as incompetent and, above all, guaranteed note to readers that the red tape once more braying.
