Wikipedia talk:Levels of competence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Looks like this is just a very late import from wardwiki. (originally, wikipedia policy originated from wardwiki and meatball) --Kim Bruning (talk) 23:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I wonder if the challenges should be kept? --Kim Bruning (talk) 00:55, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Under the advanced challenges, there are some challenges as to trying to not apply admin tools or policy. This is to learn to avoid using meatball:PowerAnswers. --Kim Bruning (talk) 00:55, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

As soon as I saw this page I knew Kim had to be behind it. Nice work; I like it : ) - Chardish (talk) 02:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we where discussing these issues in IRC and the idea originated there to work on this essay. It was a fascinating conversation, moving from meatball wiki references, to philosophy, martial arts, Taoism, and the rest... ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 04:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Jossi actually started the page, and apparently knows quite a lot about the subject. :-) --Kim Bruning (talk) 22:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Somewhat disappointed

When I saw the title I tought this page will be a little different. You can say to a beginners that they will become advanced, but they will not understand - they are beginners after all! Moreover, ups, you've just lied - some beginners will never ever become advanced, they have no capability for that. I think what this article should essenially point out about "levels of competence" is that every Wikipedian:

• intuitively knows how to handle fellows on his own level,
• should be reminded how to handle the lower levels,
• should know that there are higher levels, and their actions will seem mysterious at a first glance.

Or something like that. --Kubanczyk (talk) 22:48, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
