  • Some of us discussed this before publication at WT:COI ... Meghan Sali's Huffington Post piece incorrectly states that paid editing is not allowed on Wikipedia. Paid editing is in fact allowed either by non-privileged editors or by administrators. - Brianhe (talk) 21:01, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That MOS:TV discussion is precisely the kind of reason I tend to avoid such conversations — it's impenetrable to users who don't spend much of their time working on guidelines and metacontent, and very quickly turns into a confrontational, defensive argument. I don't have a lot of time to spend working on Wikipedia; I have little desire to spend it arguing with other editors when I could be researching and writing article content. I was going to go and agree with the recession of the MOS change, but discussions of that kind always being quite so unwelcoming and confrontational means I'd rather not participate. — OwenBlacker (Talk) 07:23, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I remember suggesting a periodic table like that a couple of years ago. I'm glad to see that we actually do indeed have one and that it's now up-to-date. Abyssal (talk) 18:00, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
