[edit] Views on "cruft"
"Stop being elitist and accept the fact that Wikipedia is a repository for MUCH esoteric knowledge that would probably not make it into a print encylopedia. This may not fit the original mission statements or what whiny, power-hungry deletionists believe in, but it's what the site has evolved into. This is _not_ a bad thing. Wikipedia has much well-written information on extremely specialized, non-mainstream topics, which is part of what makes it such a valuable resource." -Thomas Morrisey
"'But it's cruuuuuufty' is not a valid reason to delete. There's a lot of esoteric information on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is 'the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit,' not, 'the free encyclopedia that only people who are interested in everyday, common mainstream pablum can edit.' ... If you have the time to nominate as an AfD and post about how this is all fancruft and ruining Wikipedia, you have time to do the research. If you don't care enough about the articles to try and improve them, I feel that you don't have the right to delete them, either. It is always easier to destroy than to create. Your choice. - Thomas Morrisey
"Wikipedia will fail in its mission to be the sum of all human knowledge if people try to delete everything that they perceive to be unimportant. Cruft does not harm the encyclopedia in the least bit. The article is not harming those who are uninterested by existing; they are free to choose whether to look at it or not. However, it is still there for those who are interested in it." - Me (From Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/StarCraft units and structures)
