[edit]How do we mark this as historical and rejected by the community and archive it? WP has blatant vestedcontributors (To name them is to incite wrath and create reams of hate filled pages) this essay is meaningless here. 87.112.16.11 (talk) 22:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Not so, this actually nestles in with an already widely accepted policy: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Ownership_of_articles I am baffled as to why it has not received more attention. Saji Loupgarou (talk) 03:58, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
No definition
[edit]It's clear what is meant by "vested" here. I assume this doesn't relate to stock options, so what does it relate to? aprock (talk) 00:29, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- "Vested, adj: 1.held completely, permanently, and inalienably: vested rights. 2.protected or established by law, commitment, tradition, ownership, etc.: vested contributions to a fund." In other words, the article is about the attitude that once you've done your time or become popular, you're vested in the project or your pet articles and immune from criticism, like having tenure at a university. It's not supposed to work that way. Foxyshadis(talk) 02:19, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
