Points of View
User:84user/Upload fair-use suggestions for improving Upload of non-free images.

Nationality of people from the United Kingdom; British nationality 2007-2008 talk
 * Agree with User:Matt Lewis and User:Breadandcheese that no guideline is wanted.
 * Prefer no nationality adjective to appear in lead or infobox at all.
 * Show legal citizenship(s), when sourced, in the infobox's "Nationality" field.
 * Prefer no ethnicity description to appear in the lead or infobox at all.
 * When sourced and notable, discuss nationalities and ethnicities (note plural) in a relevant section.
 * Accept a nationality adjective that is well-sourced, not synthesized. Good sources would be printed dictionaries, biographies and encyclopedia.
 * Walk away despairingly at attempts to force ethnicity labels in the lead, infobox and categories.

Web page bloat
In 2011 January, I tested the total network traffic of a few web pages, measured using Firebug, from the context of someone paying for every 100KB of their data downloads (a mobile user for example): 1010 KB 11.0  seconds  Deutsche Welle English page  The Winner! 540 KB 10.01 seconds  BBC news home page 502 KB 13.0  seconds  Featured article Letters Written in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark 376 KB 14.48 seconds  English Wikipedia Main Page 320 KB 3.2  seconds   Featured article in mobile wikipedia 305 KB 11.06 seconds  French Wikipedia fr:Wikipédia:Accueil_principal 262 KB 13.7  seconds  Simple English Wikipedia Main Page 169 KB  6.26 seconds  German Wikipedia de:Wikipedia:Hauptseite 154 KB  4.77 seconds  Twitter 129 KB  3.87 seconds  W3C 113 KB  1.42 seconds  Google search for Google 84 KB  1.36 seconds  Google 27 KB  1.69 seconds  advanced mobile wikipedia 5 KB  0.7 seconds   mobile wikipedia [http://en.mobile.wikipedia.org/

I think wikipedia needs an article on Bloat (web).

References don't increase Wikipedia's reliability

User:Piotrus/Morsels of wikiwisdom

My half-baked opinions on the RFC "In principle, do you think that WP:NOT should include a section on plot summaries?"
 * such RFCs need actual examples
 * question is badly framed
 * agree that some form of plot guideline is needed
 * agree that reliably sourced plot-only articles can meet WP:V, and are acceptable, and could also be usefully merged (or remain as "grow-me" stubs, I'm on the fence here)
 * not necessary for an article on fiction to contain a plot summary! See real encyclopedia
 * not necessary for an article on fiction to contain only analysis! See real encyclopedia again

malware
In case anyone is curious why I disabled the links to kungfurodeo.com, here is the malicious javascript that its pages contain that try to load from gstats.cn (do NOT browse to either domain!):

Unreferenced BLPs
From Category:Unreferenced BLPs from September 2008 (was 533, now 531)
 * Dag Achatz - made partly cited
 * Charles Gilchrist Adam - made fully cited, needs moving to Charles Gilchrist Adams
 * Vlad Agachi - Vlad Andrei Agachi, unsure whether meets Notability, so listed at Articles for deletion/Vlad Agachi
 * Yuka Aimoto - also at ja:相本結香 - added weak cites, probably borderline notable but lack of reliable sources make article difficult to meet V, see also Articles for deletion/Yuka Aimoto
