Talk:Wikipedia

Positive
Why are the quotes here so positive? Yeah there's some negative stuff but shouldn't there be more complaining?

Well I believe Wikiquote is so much better than Wikipedia. The rules are to strict on wikipedia! I mean this admin bans me for creaing a new account just because I forgot my other account's password and did not provide any email-address details. Please don't comment on my comment.

Unsourced
Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to.

The notability of a collection of quotations from women on why they don't edit Wikipedia.
Several of the quotes mentioned in this blog come from news paper articles, while others are from internet forums, though I'm curious if anyone here would be considered noteworthy enough critic of wikipedia to include on it's page an thought it better to discuss before making additions that may be seen as questionable.

 * Wikipedia can only accept what other people have written before. That can be a problem because you can have experiences but they will not be accepted unless someone has published them before. Why some people get a bio on wikipedia and others are not considered notable - who knows. Maybe it is just militarism where  hundreds of WWI pilots get a mentioning but an artist does not. :: Why they put in this ""This user has made a public declaration indicating that they have a conflict of interest with regard to the following Wikipedia article(s):"" is a mystery because I know that the person in question (a relative) certainly did not put anything on that "everybody wiki" page, having no registration to put anything on there. It is also not on wikipedia as that person seems to think. I let my editing registration lapse; it was not a give and take situation of the two way kind.

Wikipedia:Testimonials
I came here to deposit W:Wikipedia:Testimonials, thinking this Talkpage was going to be vacant, as most enWQ pages are. But it looks like I'll have to find the time to check both my package and this place out sometime, it could be livable after some dusting. Ottawahitech (talk) 15:12, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Moment of Truth
The volume of material quoted from "Wikipedia's Moment of Truth" is excessive (in both the number and length of quotes); what should we keep? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:15, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
