There are any number of people who attempt criticism from the inside. Whether it's accomplishing anything or not, is of course debatable. But the same exact thing can be said of the criticism from the outside.
Constructive criticism, analysis, diagnosis, and proposed remedies have been offered both inside and outside.
When it's done on the inside, it generally precipitates a warlike response, including transparent attempts to dismiss, marginalize, silence, or eject the critic. External reviews have the advantage that they are unlikely to be summarily erased by overzealous defenders of the wiki. At best, Jimbo and his minions can attempt to suppress references to such external reviews from within Wiki projects.
