'''Comment''' The main reason why this should be deleted is that it waters down the good arguments against wikipedia; this page has be come tedious and boring. Out of curiosity, why are the names "Gothmog" and "Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington" inapropriate for editors' use?

:: '''REPLY:''' Censorship by an anonymous person is bad enough. But it is even worse when the censorship is by someone displaying a silly description of himself. It's not just his name that is silly, it is also how he describes himself. Another editor on Wikipedia displayed his praise of Chairman Mao on his website. Let's be candid about juvenile and liberal the Wikipedia editors are. They are nothing like real encyclopedia editors, or even the general public. --[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 18:13, 29 January 2007 (EST)

:: '''Reply''' He does not describe himself. And choosing a name from a novel is not necessarily juvenile and definitly not liberal. Also, it doesn't really matter what someone puts on their user page. I assume that admins are chosen based on their contributions to the website, and that is fair whatever their user name is --[[User:TimSvendsen|TimSvendsen]] 18:25, 29 January 2007 (EST)
