Are the comments being deleted here on HN a meta joke about deletionist misbehavior on wikipedia? Depending on the answer maybe a meta joke would be to revert any changes I make to this post.
One interesting way to summarize the problem is wikipedia provides tools designed to make it easier to destroy than to create and then rewards destruction. No great surprise what results.
- mikeash 12y agoI'm pretty sure they were just deleted because the poster is terminally embarrassed at discovering that his edits were reverted because he was inadvertently vandalizing them due to a browser plugin, rather than fixing problems like he thought he was.
