Umpteenth Verse, Same As The First …

QUOTE(Jonny Cache @ Mon 8th January 2007, 4:18pm) *

With respect, or lack thereof, to Wikipedia, there appear to be at least two schools of thought that prevail among the members of this Review.
  • There are those who, having entered Wikipedia, have abandoned all hope of saving it.
  • There are those who wait in Casablocca, and wait, and wait, and wait, …, and wait …
For my part, the good of this Review, in concert with the purpose of criticism at large, is far broader than a focal fixation on the fate, good or ill, of Wikipedia.

For me, the main attraction of this forum, however strange, is cued by the phrase, "for general discussion of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects", where the extension to "other Wikimedia projects" remains, in a choice word, critical.

That's the e-scape clause that affords us a port to the future.

So let's not muff the opportunity.
