Re: How to Figure Out Which Bored is Best for Me?
(I assume you mean board, not bored) Why not attend both? The primary differences between the two, as I see it, is that WPO is much more active, and that some Wikipedian Admins also visits WPO.

Re: Socked Into the Puppet-Hole on Wikipedia
@CrowsNest: Regarding the Winston Churchill DoB example , then: I think we can agree that you didn't really do it faster (had you done it more than ~10 seconds faster, you'd have broken causality), and that saving seconds or milliseconds isn't where Wikipedia truly fails to compete. It's quality of ...

What have I done wrong?

Re: Socked Into the Puppet-Hole on Wikipedia
... There are a lot of valuable and reliable articles (mostly in non-contentious areas, such as mathematics). Minor side-note: Mathematics is an area, which, on Wikipedia, is far more troubled than one would suspect on first thought Article troubles, within that area, seem to have two major differe...
