User:WLU/Five stages of Wikipedia

There are five stages to editing wikipedia that all dediated contributors go through. That all contributors go through this process is verifiable fact. These stages are demonstratably comparable to the five stages of grief as expressed by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross:


 * 1)  Denial - I can’t believe no-one has written about what a tool Bob Sagat is!  Awesome, I’ll put that in.
 * 2)  Anger - Where did my text go?  What do you mean I can’t write that Bob Sagat is a tool?  What the hell does revert mean?  What the hell is WP:NPOV?
 * 3)  Bargaining - Fine, I’ll read your stupid policy, but then I’m totally putting my Bob Sagat thing back.
 * 4)  Depression - Stupid policy makes sense, I guess I can’t write about how much I hate Bob Sagat.  This sucks.  I’m going to see what else I can edit on this stupid encyclopedia.
 * 5)  Acceptance (wisdom?) - I can’t believe some dumb newbie called Bob Sagat a tool.  Doesn’t he know about NPOV?  Hold on, he’s got a reference...
