Maybe if wikipedia was a more user-friendly form-based system and far less hand-typed manual-coding-intensive and maybe if instructions and requirements were also easier to understand and more user-friendly (meaning "more point-and-click"), then maybe I and other programming-illiterate contributors could DO a better job of contributing! Wikipedia should not be any harder to use than Myspace or Photobucket, etc! Word to the wise. Most Contributors who have vast valuable knowledge of things OTHER than coding/programming should not have to learn a whole new trade (programming) just to submit articles to what PRETENDS to be a user-contribution encyclopedia! In practice it is only allowing people with better than average coding skills to contribute and the interface does NOT make it easy to know all the rules, much less all the procedures.


And since user talk pages are the one publicly visible thing that blocked users can do on here, and because a user-talk page is SUPPOSED to be a user's personal space on here, therefore an admin is vandalizing if they delete that user's talk page, especially without a grace period that begins with an email notification that allows said user 2 weeks to log in. And editing ones talk page within a given period should not be the criteria. If there IS a time-based criteria it should be based on last login, not on last edit. If a user has logged in within the past 90 days then they have not abandoned their account and their account ought not to be treated as discarded trash waiting to be swept away!
