Be consistent

I do not like inconsistent application of Wikipedia rules. Most of my activity in the last few years has been resisting the biased application of Wikipedia rules regarding the foobar2000 player. I get that the article is poorly-written and poorly-sourced, but so are hundreds of other software articles. If you care enough to "enforce" these (IMO potentially damaging) rules on foobar2000, you'd best be doing the same to many other articles.

Wikipedia's war on private servers

Wikipedia has begun the process of illegitimizing users who edit Wikipedia through VPSes, VPNs, and other "webhosts". As it stands, every Internet connection that I pay for, except the one going to my home, has been labeled as providing "open proxies" and has been banned through exceptionally broad /16 subnet bans. They allow individual users through on a case-by-case basis, but as the policy is in place to ban "troublemakers", no one cares about the legitimate cases in which users might find themselves in such a case.

The Wikimedia stewards were understanding about the matter. The administrators of the English-language Wikipedia were not.
