::: '''''How do we write this thing?'''''
 
: I was just reading that page and my mouse slipped and hit the edit button. Then I tripped and as I was falling I hit the keyboard and typed all that content. As I struggled to my feet I was pawing at the desk and the mouse came down and hit save.

::: '''''Why are we here?'''''
: This project is here to <span style="border:1px solid Navy;padding:0px;">&nbsp;build an encyclopedia.&nbsp;</span> Please limit your actions here to things that help that goal.

::: '''''You know it ain't easy'''''
: The volume of corporate vanity/vandalism which is showing up on Wikipedia is overwhelming.
 
: If we are to remain true to <span style="border:1px solid Navy;padding:0px;">&nbsp;remain true to our encyclopedic mission&nbsp;</span> this kind of nonsense cannot be tolerated. We are losing the battle for encyclopedic content in favor of people intent on hijacking Wikipedia for their own memes. This scourge is a serious waste of time and energy.
 
: I am issuing a call to arms to the community to act in a much more draconian fashion in response to corporate self-editing and vanity page creation. This is simply out of hand, and we need your help.

::: '''''Assume no clue'''''
: Has anyone else noticed how spammers and other conflict of interest editors think the guidelines are for the other guy and what they are doing is "useful" and shouldn't be questioned? And they are completely sincere about that.
