This section needs more cowbell.
You can help by adding more cowbell.

Netoholic's Law

As a wiki discussion grows longer, the probability of an accusation by one user of another acting unilaterally approaches one.

Look, I've made thousands of "unilateral" edits, so probably have you. It's a wiki. Get over it.

Corollary

One can substitute any of the following for "unilaterally", and the law still works -- "against consensus", "mindlessly", "carelessly". Any of these words indicates you might be facing off against a wiki-warrior.

Other wisdom

  • Wikipedia:Ignore all rules is a paradox. One is expressly failing to "ignore all rules" by citing WP:IAR.
    In other words, if you do something and justify it with IAR, you are implicitly acknowledging that there are rules.
  • <jwales> There are people who have good sense. There are idiots. A consensus of idiots does not override good sense. Wikipedia is not a democracy.

For standing up to the misguided masses (myself included), helping to free Wikipedia from the hidden horrors of conditional meta-templates, I, Lifeisunfair, hereby present the Barnstar of Diligence to Netoholic.
