A nod to the [[heavy metal]] band [[Judas Priest]] whose song ''[[Dissident Aggressor]]'' was released on ''[[Sin After Sin]]'' in 1977. The song later won the 2010 [[Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance]] after being released again on ''[[A Touch of Evil: Live]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://judaspriest.com/news/fullstory.asp?id=1A7722C1-AC84-4388-9BB9-D73085FE0401 |title=Judas Priest Grammy Nomination for Dissident Aggressor |publisher=Judaspriest.com |date=4 December 2009 |accessdate=7 November 2010}}</ref>

Please don't use a present participle to describe something that occurred in the past. It is incorrect. You should use the eponymous past tense.

Many editors seem to have difficulty making a declarative statement. If you're tempted to use the word "actually" you're probably looking at it. In 99% of the cases, that word adds no meaning. Please don't use it.

Paid editors on Wikipedia are IMHO the biggest threat to Wikipedia. These are professionals who are paid to "spin" Wikipedia articles.
Paid editors on Wikipedia are IMHO the biggest threat to Wikipedia. These are professionals who are paid to "spin" Wikipedia articles. Some will say they're just here to present the facts but their inherent conflict of interest will prevent them from being neutral. As of the writing of this section, there are 4,600 folks who self-identify as [[:Category:Connected contributors]]. Not all of them are paid, but the ones who are, IMHO have no place on this project. Unfortunately, current policy hasn't (yet) dealt effectively with this problem.

A person accepting financial compensation from a third party is placing himself in the following conundrum:
*If they are not willing and able to present the totality of properly encyclopedic material about their client, warts and all, with a truly fair-minded ability to give proper weight to material which may be inimical to their client's interests, or support the inclusion of such material when appropriate, then they should not be editing Wikipedia.
*And if they are, their client should fire them.
*And in ''either'' case, they are acting unethically.

They're professionals making their living on the backs of the volunteers on this project, manipulating how their clients are perceived on Wikipedia and they're professionals at manipulating wiki-politics and [[WP:Game|gaming the system]].
