Random funny comment on the Essjay situation

From Rcade's blog:
Bureaucracy's engrained so deep in Wikipedia that there's an official job called Bureaucrat. Twenty-three people have attained this level, a heady rush that must be similar to how I felt when my magic-user reached 22,501 experience points and became a Thaumaturgist before he was eaten by a bulette.
So captures the spirit of the Wikipedia MMORPG.

  1. Well, there are this number of bureaucrats when you only consider the English language Wikipedia. There are many more including bureaucrats in other projects.

    Many of the en.wp issues are of interest because they are often considered to be a glimpse in the future..

    Thanks,
