  • Presnell, the vote for undeletion of Yoism is drawing to a close and it looks like it will be decided by a single vote or two. If you are interested in participating, it can be found here. Kriegman 15:01, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

To summarize the summary, yes, I discounted all of those votes. I can see how you would disagree with this, so I really do recommend VfU. It could be that the other admins will disagree with my rationale.

This is very sad.

I invested great effort in this to see if the Wikipedia could overcome what others call devastating limitations. Though I do NOT support Larry Sanger's call for deference to "experts," I'm afraid the Wikipedia---in its ostensible call for openness---has created a new elite class of "experts" and is closing the door.

When 6 or 7 hyper-editors averaging way more than 2,000 edits each, none of whom had the chance to have---and none of whom voiced a willingness to wait for---the opportunity to actually experience the phenomenon being judged, ride roughshod over 7 or 8 editor-users (all with a least one prior, unrelated edit, but far less than 2,000) all of whom have carefully reviewed the phenomenon in question, this is quite sad.

We have created a new elite class of experts who have power.

The rest of us can just go home. The experts are in charge.
