And then the 10 JA'ers voting would make the difference?

Nevermind, I'll just stop posting here... I think some people really don't understand the idea behind Wikipedia..

Lies? It's not like it's a broccoli where you can write the exact definition, it's an abstract, unimportant issue. Just because you think something should be changed doesn't mean it's right, does it?

Really... who cares? It's an encyclopædia, "noob-" and "leettalk" are pretty low priority compared to eg the Roman Empire..

oh and look at this :
"Noobing" is also seen as a verb by "using your "uber [[l33t]]" skills to "[[pwn]]" unsuspecting noobs."

im gonna drop this ...

And 22 minutes later it was reverted by the user IByte, seeing as you failed to mention why you had removed that whole section. No justification looks an awful lot like vandalism.

Because it's two sides of the same coin? Look beyond your nosetip, there are other perspectives.

If you think it's so lame, why don't you go tell them so on the article's talk page? It's not like it's the Encyclopædia Britannica, you can actually influence WP, if you do something other than moaning.

maybe leetspeak sounds nooby but omg its still the name of that 'language'.

Wow, if you're unhappy about something on Wikipedia, change it for the better. Haven't you noticed there's an "edit" button? It's not there just to look pretty. There's a reason it's called Wikipedia, anyone can edit it. Most WP editors aren't gamers, anyway, and they're most certainly not stupid.

I don't see what your point is..

Quote:
They do not consider the use of extreme short forms (such as "b" for "be", or "u" for "you";) as leetspeak; instead, they refer to it by such terms as "AOL speak". This is because they associate such habits with users who use ISPs like AOL, which is associated with "noobiness" and therefore not considered "elite". The chief difference between leetspeak and AOL speak is that leetspeak has the goal of obfuscating traditional written language while in AOL speak the goal is primarily to shorten words (and therefore allow "n00bs" to be able to communicate more quickly).
