Connel MacKenzie: see wikt:User:Connel MacKenzie. Editcounts: wikipedia: 635+ / wiktionary: 100,000+ ?

I focus on Wiktionary, with only a rare edit here on Wikipedia. Please don't use these pages to contact me. Instead, go to wiktionary:User:Connel MacKenzie or leave me a message on wiktionary:User talk:Connel MacKenzie. Thanks!

While the rare edit I do on Wikipedia is invariably Wiktionary-related, the majority of what I use this account for, is User:CopyToWiktionaryBot cleanup. While I do expect most of those edits to result in deletion, I get rather annoyed when actual encyclopedic content is whacked. (But usually, I don't notice, since I'm there and not here.) Since I spend less and less time "over the wall," the curious gradual changes of Wikipedia seem quite extreme to me...the deletionist/inclusionst pendulum is particularly difficult to guess at. (As the saying goes...just wait a month and all will be opposite again.) To a comparative outsider such as myself, Wikipedia (June, 2007,) seems like a valiant defender of hypocrisy...fighting to keep non-encyclopedic advertising crap that promotes companies and television shows, while mercilessly deleting any stub if it shows even the slightest promise of broaching an intellectual topic.

On irc://irc.freenode.net/wiktionary I can often be found with the nick "Connel" or "SomeWiktAdmin".

If editcounter shows more than 1,000 edits for the bot, then something is horribly wrong. After transwiki, the broad majority of dicdef articles are supposed to be deleted. Of the thousands of transwikis done, only one or two hundred should remain. So get busy with those speedy delete nominations. CAT:MtW & Transwiki log.
