It hurts to be reminded of this. I quit wikipedia because of that.
Having your page deleted is an absolute slap to the face. It's like bringing a home-baked cake to a charity cake sale and having the other bakers take your cake, throw it to the ground and stomp on it while cackling maniacally and shouting "not notable" and other stock phrases.
I refuse to accept their excuses.
- x1798DE 10y agoSeems to me it's more like bringing your home-baked cake to Wal-mart and being horribly offended that they don't just put it on the shelves. I think Animats' analogy in a sibling comment of making a pull request against a major open-source is very apt. Wikipedia is a huge and hard to manage project with extremely high standards.
