    No, this is Wikimedia, not Wikipedia. There's a difference.

    The difference is that Wikimedia is full of crap. Wikipedia is the one full of mistakes.

    399,000 of those are crap

    That's a bit optimistic.

    Do you claim there are one thousand files that are not crap?

    Ridiculous!

    No way, a real accomplishment would be properly spelling competition instead of comeptition.
