 ::I'm ashamed to say I never knew LIGHTBULB was your creation, Floq, even though several of my socks have edited it. (You want them to help you edit war to keep it clean? Say the word.) I think it was sort of doomed after the idiot addition of the ""humour"" template. (oh dear, suppose somebody takes it seriously?). What's the moral? Well, as I realized when Wikipedia:Do not say ""With all due respect"" (yeah, it's a redlink, I AfD'd it), started to be edited largely, it is that you should never put your essays into Wikipedia space. Keep 'em safe in your userspace, like MastCell's Cynic's guide to Wikipedia or my own Optimist's guide. Crowdsourcing is all very delightful for articles — well, for some articles — but not so much for essays or even ""essays"". They're liable to get levelled right down. Well, unless someone defends 'em aggressively (oh! oh! WP:OWN! and boring too!).  |  ."
