Blankity Blank : Boiler Plates

Some things, apparently � no matter how reluctantly � bear repeating, but I just can't bear trying to work up the creativity to find new ways of saying them anymore, so read my ellipsis …

Just in case someone gets the wrong idea, let me make the following things clear:

• I have not made any other person my agent to speak or act for me.
• I have no intention of entering into any private negotiations or personal arrangements with any representatives of Wikipedia Management.
• I am not asking Wikipedia Management for any personal favors, nor do I have any interest in cutting any private deals with agents of Wikipedia Management.

Experience has taught me that I need to say these things because Wikipediot agents have a persistent habit of pretending to hear you consent to things that you never consented to.

It's Not Just A River In Paris, Texas

Are you insane? I have 120 real names on Hivemind. There are 263,487 biographies of living people on Wikipedia. The typical BLP article on Wikipedia gives more info than I give for each name on Hivemind. Wikipedia lets any anonymous idiot waltz in and play with their articles. No one is allowed to play with Hivemind. Why are you more worried about Hivemind than about your own participation on Wikipedia? Are you insane?

And The Reign, It Gets In-Seine-Er Every Day

Could you update us on the current Hivemind stats?

Hivemind: 73
Oldhive (which was down for the last 12 months and linked from the bottom of Hivemind only last week): 58

A dozen or two names appear on both pages, which means they've been counted twice. I don't know how many exactly � you can check the username for each Oldhive entry and see if it is in the index on Hivemind. I should add that while the Oldhive page is historical, with dates indicated, and is therefore an "evergreen" page, many of the names on Hivemind were deleted because they are no longer active on Wikipedia, or no longer seemed interesting. There is tremendous turnover among Wikipedia editors for some reason.
