My extremist views

• Well written popular culture articles are not "fancruft"; they are the (invaluable) gateway drug for wikipedia. If some teenager comes to read about The Itchy & Scratchy Show and leaves knowing what Socialist realism is (via Worker and Parasite) then the wikipedia has earned its keep.
• 3RR is good (or at least better than the alternatives). If people can't learn basic social skills, it's better to be rid of them than deprive wikipedia's overwhelmingly well-adjusted editorbase the chance to edit an article (something denied them either by permitting the editwar to continue or protecting the page). Roll on 2RR.
• We shouldn't have individual pages for highschools, mostly because I fear they're so peripheral that they'll either be ignored or they'll be subject to vandalism that no-one notices. Better we have pages about individual school districts, with sections for each high school. Those who (perhaps rightly) worry that an individual highschool isn't sufficiently notable have less to worry about when dealing with a school district of ten or twenty schools.
