Wikipedia contributors are not warm, outgoing folks brimming with social skills. Also, water doesn't burn, and shit doesn't taste good.

I guess maybe I can stop feeling guilty for not contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you!

I wonder if these are the same Israeli researchers whose prose analysis tool calls me a man simply because I write about things other than boyfriends.

IOW I see no reason to trust their criteria.

Now if they had studied Wikipedia admins--boy howdy, what a bunch. But those of us who actually edit the thing . . . and write webpages . . . and blog . . . and play online RPGs . . . will just carry on with it, thanks for nothing, social scientists.
