I'm sure I read an article somewhere that said that Mick Jagger has no plans to write an autobiography, as he says that it's all on his Wikipedia article. Miyagawa (talk) 11:22, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, his exact quote was "If someone wants to know what I did in 1965, they can look it up on Wikipedia without even spending any money." [1] Although I do wonder how much of 1965 he can remember... the wub "?!" 16:35, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - The saying goes, "If you say you remember the 60s, you really weren't there." (And if you were there in the 70s, you won't admit it unless you have to.) -- llywrch (talk) 20:33, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"...how do we support the people who are editing Wikipedia today?" Reward them with some money, maybe? Could you imagine how the NFL would do if they just paid their coaches, officials, team doctors and front-office people. How would that work? Oh, it's called NCAA. So why should we be surprised when scandals keep erupting over college players getting secretly paid? I feel sorry for young people who have to moonlight to pay off their student loans. Perhaps a good way to discourage and limit black-hat editing is to start rewarding white-hat editing. Wbm1058 (talk) 00:01, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
