Misplaced Pages:Wikibombing
This essay should be deleted for a number of reasons.
- I believe that in it's current for the article is primarily an attack on a single editor--User:Cirt. The single largest part of the article is about where the term comes from which is primarily Cirt. Further two editors have been re-adding an article as "further reading" that involves, you guessed it, Cirt. Some of these editors have made their opposition to Cirt's actions quite plain both on the talk pages and in other forums. Oh, we have a graph showing that the number of edits to the article grew rapidly, which has nothing to do with wikibombing at all, but since those edits are, again, Cirt a fair bit of the time. These same concerns have been expressed by a number of editors on the talk page, and have been largely ignored.
- This essay is claiming that activities like "article creation", "DYK" listings, and featured article work are "Typical Wikibombing activities". I think that's like coming out against motherhood and apple pie.
- The essay has created a lot of heat and little light. Enough heat that one editor felt the need to go to WP:AN and ask that 3RR enforcement be waived/reduced.
