:::Obviously, "more than a few edits a minute". Lightmouse regularly violated this rule by about a factor of 5. [[User:Tennis expert|Tennis expert]] ([[User talk:Tennis expert|talk]]) 05:57, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
::::Some people just won't accept defeat. It's very commendable in many cases, but it should should be made clear that the general havoc, disruption and boredom caused by Tennis and his cohort [[User:Locke Cole|Locke]] are taking its toll on the community. It already accepted ages ago that the consensus was valid, but they were not satisfied. Tony1's actions were endorsed [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Tony1|back in September]]. Two individuals have been going around behaving like [[WP:SPIDER|Spiderman]], and have also been forum shopping. They have launched continual complaints at [[WP:AN]] or [[WP:AN3]] against at least four people [[User:Locke_Cole/Arbitration/Date_unlinking|on this list]], including [[WP:Harassment|harassing]] yours truly multiple times.
::::Let's talk real numbers here - it is simply amazing how much 'controversy' the "gang of four" (''sic'') can stir up. Actually, there are four editors vehemently opposed to deprecation of DA and date-linking, but these two have been doing the most running. Now an RfC, no, sorry, two RfCs, being held which show very clear majority in favour of doing away with DA and date linking, and they are still not satisfied. Sure, the RfCs are not yet closed, but most of us recognise [[WP:SNOW|a snowball]] when we see one. Not these tow - there is no reason to think they will accept the result at the close. Then now howl in protest that any persons who dare to support delinking should be made an Administrator, and have [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/NuclearWarfare|gone on to make statements based on that position]] which said that said candidate was "''unfamiliar with consensus building process and general Wikipedia policies''". Now they are still trying [[Wikipedia:Wikilawyering|all technicalities and procedural means]] and using [[straw man]] arguments to stop of slow down the delinking. Any administrator who disagrees with their untenable position is suffering from "[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)/Three_proposals_for_change_to_MOSNUM&diff=prev&oldid=257438435 conflict of interest]". I was able to achieve speeds of 7 pages a minute simply using the multi-windowed Firefox browser. I also increased the speed of my AWB edits by having more than one AWB window open at a time. When there is so much rubbish and detritus floating around WP, we need all the speed we can get. Ideally, a bot should be sent around so we can rebuild from scratch with the minimal linking which the community wants. It is time to wake up to these "freedom fighters", and see them as the [[terrorism|terrorists]] they are in reality.
