:And as an aside, if your intent was to show that WP put ''too'' much emphasis on the Games, then you missed your point. It actually read like WP shouldn't have put ''any'' emphasis on them, and how dare they hold a contest to cover them. [[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 14:59, 30 August 2012 (EDT)

::Author's intent and the final tone coming across to a reader can be different. My point was that the APC was paying people to distort Wikipedia's coverage, and the people receiving APC's payments had envisioned an army of volunteer editors working away at paralympic coverage just by offering two tickets to London. In fact, only a handful of people entered the contest, and little content was produced by volunteers. I guess there is no graceful way of handling a situation where a contest is a dud and few people enter, but having the person that created the contest go to London with her significant other is probably the worst way. Thanks for the feedback. [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 15:15, 30 August 2012 (EDT)
