"==Re: 'jeks'== 
 Oh come now, I wasn't necessarily referring to you. Unless, you're admitting that you are a among ""those that try to scare away content editors"", in which case you should resign immediately.    

 :98% was a pretty  all-encompassing  statement so  I naturally assumed that it  was an oblique reference to  my work. What you are probably not aware of however, is that I'm in around only 4% who badger, cajole, coax, and 'threaten', and encourage young enthusiastic users into doing things right. After all, they may even be our next generation of admins! For your information  though, and to get you up to date, you  may wish to  read  -  all  of it, including  the most recent  postings. You'll realise that it's not  easy when people won't read the instructions and policies first. Although it's sometimes rather exasperating for all  concerneactually d, most  older and established editors (and admins)  are here to  help, and ironically, most new editors are scared away by other new editors ;)  Put  this way, just for a fictional example, and as a pure hypothesis: if you  were a 63 year  old professor of English  and linguistics, a 7-year editor, creator of over 60 perfect, full-sized articles, and wrote an article like this almost single-handedly, and put it in  for GA, then you  get  a 14-year  old, non-native speaker pick up the review, who then tells you bluntly it's full of grammatical errors, and gives you 24 hours to address them - how would you react? I'd be interested to know how you would handle a situation like that.     
 ::I've got to give you credit, you handled my taunting far better than most admins could. Now that I look back, perhaps I was a little harsh with my original wording. I was frustrated, because I've seen situations where a promising new(ish) editor gets too passionate in the defense of his work, gets a 3RR block, loses interest, then disappears. 
 ::In response to your off-topic hypothetical situation, something similar has happened to me (okay, I'm not a 63 year old professor, but bear with me), where an article I had up for GA was reviewed by a guy who had one of those babel templates on his userpage, and it said he was EN-2. His review was full of mistakes. I think I handled the situation well (I asked an experienced reviewer to give a second opinion). A bit off topic, but unfortunately, too many users would bite the reviewer (I've encountered one user whose page advertises that he's wikipedia's foremost generator of featured content, and he had no problem insulting or scaring away reviewers) but I've always tried to treat them with respect and avoid bashing them (well, publicly anyway), partially because I used to be heavily involved in the FL process. I guess that's why I took excpetion to what I interpreted as you being very heavy handed to a user who seemed genuinely interested in generating featured content.    

 :::It all boils down to the fact that maintenance areas are a magnet to  younger, new, and inexperienced users. There are obvious reasons for this but I won't go into detail now. Another problem is that with  its huge population  of near-native speakers (but of a very different version of English), the Indian  sub-continent also provides a vast number of new, and enthusiastic users who also get involved in these areas and often clambour for user rights. If you  do  some checking  you'd be surprised how many  of them are students and even 'trainers' at  the CVUA for example,  and reviewers at  GA and FA. However, this also  applies of course to  near-native speakers from other regions. I went through sheer hell on my first couple of GAs because that was in the days when the reviews were done by  extremely experienced,  mature editors, one of whom  is now a member of Arbcom. So  you can probably  understand why I take some exception  at what  goes on here with the  'pass mine, and I'll  pass yours'  that really  does go on here sometimes (without  pointing  a finger at  anyone in  particular). This is probably  the reason  why  I  rarely  bother now to  submit  my  articles, all  of which  are of a very  high  standard, to  GA or FA. For the same reason, I  don't bother doing any reviews either although I am  fully capable of it, so you  see how these things hurt the system.  Keep up your good work, and as I say to  everyone: don't hesitate to come to  my talk  page if ever you need help or advice;  and if you're sure of your stuff, don't  hes
