Article
Thanks for the article! 

A few comments:

"“What the hell?” wrote Iridescent, an admin, on a community response Wiki."

That's a bit unclear. Don't abbreviate "Wikipedia" as "Wiki"!

"Within an hour, admins had left dozens of messages on their private noticeboard demanding an explanation."

The noticeboard is public, actually. That's important.

"stubs — short, unfinished articles that are culled when they sit dormant for too long"

There are plenty of stubs that clearly pass the notability test, but sit dormant for years. And non notable articles are deleted, even if they're long and well written.

Overall pretty good though, and not nearly as inaccurate as most mainstream news articles about Wikipedia's internal workings are.

For the sake of transparency and openness, would you consider making public all that was said, not just the quotes you picked out for the article?
