I have been here only a short while, but have been dumbfounded at the levels of genius here at Wikipedia. It is a melting pot of the brightest minds in the World.

When I'm advocating these, I'm thinking in terms of myself as an encyclopaedia editor, not as a "maker of sausages" as the process of politics is described. "No Copyright" is an excellent position to begin from, to be able to retreat to "Repeal of the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act" or "Reduction of US copyright period to 15 years." Demands need to be strident, it is part of the process of compromise, you need to have something to sell-out. This is also an excellent position to hold, while accepting limited gains such as a potential dramatic and universal extension of free use for educational, academic and not-for-profit purposes.

You can't make this shit up.Ok, honestly, I just have to ask, even though the answer may be obvious; is that page a joke or meant as a send up?
I mean Fifelfoo always talks crazy shit, I always have a hard time understanding what the hell he's saying and I always half suspect he's taking the piss. But I'm pretty sure that an "important wikipedian" like
Jehochman doesn't usually go for the comedy.
They really ARE that insane, aren't they?
