Wikipedia talk:Established Wikipedian

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This term really needs to be defined if it's used in official policy. Should this just redirect somewhere, or is it defined somewhere? Mathiastck 13:20, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

  • I would move this to the Wikipedia namespace, say Wikipedia talk:Established Wikipedian; things internal to Wikipedia should not be discussed in article-space. Article-space is really only for the encyclopedia articles themselves, and discussion thereof. --EngineerScotty 00:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
I agree :) Not sure how to move anything here, but I know how to copy and paste :) Mathiastck 14:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
  • How would this be different from "editor in good standing"? I'm not arguing with the need for a definition of either term (maybe just at Wikipedia:Glossary, though), but the good standing term has some established usage I think, compared to EW (as far as I've seen). -- nae'blis 20:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I think a wikipedian can be established, but still be in bad standing :) They could have been here for years, but be in bad standing, perhaps due to their trolling, deletionist ethic, etc.. Mathiastck 00:56, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
