Description

 * Though English Wikipedia is said to be a non-profit project, users can offer rewards and bounties for completing Wikipedia-related tasks.
 * English Wikipedia has quite strict policies and regulations, sometimes they even contradict common sense. For example, good-faith edits made by banned users may be deleted. There's even a speedy deletion criterion (Db-g5) for such cases.
 * Another example is the so-called «Law Affair»: when an administrator Law turned out to be a sockpuppet of another user (The undertow) created as the evasion of ban, Law was desysoped and blocked indefinitely, while its creator received a six-month ban from the Arbitartion Commitee (Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions).
