In response to your feedback

Did you have a specific problem that caused you to comment on it being bureaucratic? Wikipedia is not a democracy nor a bureaucracy, but it does have a little of both in it. Was there a particular thing I could help you with?

Sorry, I was cheating. I've edited Wikipedia before from a separate account, so I'm not new. I think the "Wikipedia is not a democracy" is disgusting and needs to renamed to "Wikipedia is not a majority rules system" or "Wikipedia is not a polling booth." It shows ignorance of the meaning of the word "democracy". However, it's not just semantic. The policy is also representative of the fact that Wikipedia is far too bureaucratic. You can help me by suggesting policies to make Wikipedia more democratic to the rest of the community eg. quantitative upvotes and downvotes to determine editing rights, and thus removing the need for feudalistic tiles and ranks like "administrator" and "bureaucrat", and assisting the consensus building process by gauging the level of support for each edit.

Ah, you were "cheating." I see.  ;-) If you want a process for "gauging the level of support for each edit," I'm afraid you're out of luck - that's not something you're likely to see given the sheer number of edits around here. Ditto for splitting out editing rights - I believe that one is sitting in WP:PEREN as a proposal that the community has consistently rejected (in large part because it would create a larger bureaucracy). If there's something more practical that I can help you with, please let me know. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 07:41, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
