And even less so to despise the work (whether it is hard or not is not the question) of people who are adding this content, with remarks such as "what are they thinking ??" -- that could hurt feelings, as these are volunteer projects and they had no obligation to translate the template and run the bot, but chose to do so.<br /><br />I understand that these issues matter deeply to you, and I sympathize with that, but I think that when you're referring to someone else's work you could be a little more careful with your words.Waldirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729094481458417480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-42042557128534032292009-11-25T11:08:41.462+01:002009-11-25T11:08:41.462+01:00For the record, I am not calling for the deletion ...For the record, I am not calling for the deletion of this material. I am of the opinion that the same effort with content about Tanzanian or Kenian towns and villages will generate more interest.. <br /><br />The problem with such a load of data is that it is a target for vandals and when this proves to be the case it puts stress on the admins who have to deal with that.<br />Thanks,<br /> GerardMGerardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287269079265427282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-33551500076738327482009-11-25T10:54:22.278+01:002009-11-25T10:54:22.278+01:00My position on this issue is that it's prefera...My position on this issue is that it's preferable to avoid bias by adding under-represented content, rather than by removing or avoiding to add over-represented content. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=211417238" rel="nofollow">This post</a> by User:Everyking explains that very well.Waldirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729094481458417480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-91147434022952319682009-11-15T08:39:43.384+01:002009-11-15T08:39:43.384+01:00This is indeed a coherent argument why this practi...This is indeed a coherent argument why this practice is sensible...<br />Thanks,<br /> GerardMGerardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287269079265427282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-55213699324565264722009-11-15T06:27:57.704+01:002009-11-15T06:27:57.704+01:00well you calling that spamming .. i would even cal...well you calling that spamming .. i would even calling trolling. troll.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
