My pet peeve is about contributors who have clearly never seen, let alone read, any encylopaedia. As a punishment I would like a real encyclopaedia to be dropped on them.

Real-world data is "dirty" because of misspellings, truncations, missing/inserted tokens, null fields, unexpected abbreviations. And other irregularities
His first contribution to XIV was on 20 November 2004 – about twelve months before he had a broadband connection; looking back he wonders how he put up with the slow access.
When a link in XIV leads to nowhere, it is displayed in red to alert our editors that it requires attention. A red link can mean one of two things:
The link is broken and no longer leads to an article (perhaps because the underlying article was deleted). In such a case, the link needs to be removed or renamed to point to an existing article.
A new article is needed. When a Wikipedian writes an article, it is common practice to linkify key topics pertinent to an understanding of the subject, even if those topics don't have an article on XIV yet. This has two applications:
From within an article, such a link prepares the article to be fully supported. At any time, a Wikipedian may independently write an article on the linked-to subject, and when this happens, there's already a link ready and "waiting for it." The red link also gives readers the opportunity to click on it to create the needed article on the spot.
In topic lists, it is useful to include every topic on the subject you can possibly find or think of. When they are turned into links, the list immediately shows where the gaps in XIV's coverage for that subject are, since all of the topics missing articles will show up in red. Such lists are useful tools in developing subject areas on XIV, as they show where work is needed most.
