Inspiration
The main inspiration for this document has been the document "How Many Newsgroup Readers does it Take to Change a Lightbulb? whose origins are unknown. Some of my recent exposure to being a Wikipedia contributor inspired me to create an adaptation of this to the world of the English Wikipedia. Note that I still find Wikipedia an indispensible resource and enjoy contributing to it, and approve of it as a whole, despite the many problems that it constantly faces in its daily maintenance (and is mostly handling them fine).
