...I've done a good deal of tweaking to my headers and introductory paragraphs, though I'm still not eager to drop the "Wiki Whiners" caption, as inapplicable as it is to some of the people on the list, since it's so catchily alliterative.
You're leaving an insulting pejorative in place because it's
alliterative?Even if we grant that this makes any sense whatsoever, this title of yours shows an almost complete lack of appreciation for browser and search-engine ergonomics. It's not rocket science, Dan-o. Imagine yourself as someone else, and ask yourself, "What words would I type into Google if I wanted a list of people who believe, rightly or wrongly, that they're being screwed over by Wikipedia? by far the more SEO-friendly title would be "Victims of Wikipedia," or if you insist on so-called neutral terminology, "Wikipedia Controversies." But you'd be much better off with the former in terms of PageRank competition.
Right now, the highest-ranked non-Wikipedia, non-scraper Google rank for
wikipedia victims is
this Anarchopedia category page which has exactly one article listed in it. This is a huge opportunity to grab some much-needed traffic, Danno! No journalist who needs quick information on people who are getting screwed by WP is going to type in "wiki whiners." It just wouldn't occur to them.
C'mon, Dan-man! Do the right thing for a change! It's
actually in your own best interests! People will see that you understand basic SEO concepts and you'll be asked to biuld more websites, and therefore make Big Bucks! Imagine those dollars just a-rollin' in!

So you think people should get banned from this site, not for their behavior on here, but for what they say on a different site entirely? That doesn't seem particularly sensible to me.
Wikipedia does it... don't they?

To declare those that don't agree what wikipedia is now... winners, is hateful ignorance and simple minded arrogances and your part.
Well, "winners" would be better than what he has up there now. And at least he's not calling them
losers! That would be
really insulting.
