"It's not useful because we don't feel that it would be useful."

To be legitimate as an authority you must have a legitimate reason. Otherwise, you should be removed from your position.

"Like,"

Like, oh my God!

"right now I am sitting in my easy chair trying to explain someone why a childish"

You must explain why my video is "spam". Without a logical explanation you are no better than Saddam Hussein.

"overly detailed video is off the point."

No, you are not trying explain why you think it is off the point. You are asserting that it is off the point and FAILING. In order to prove that too much detail in a dictionary is off topic, you must provide an argument. You have not provided this argument.

"Then comes my wife and brings a notepad, asking me to write down what I intend to say. I don't feel it necessary."

Who cares what you feel? This is a dictionary not a session with the psychologist. What you feel means NOTHING.

"Now, it's not my responsibility to explain why I don't want a notepad,"

Yes, actually it is, provided your wife is the same as a Wikitionary user.

"although she insists on me having it."

I am not your wife, which means this is a false analogy.

"It's her business to convince me of the usefulness of a notepad, if she wants me to use it. Got the point?"

Yes, this point proves that you should stay away from Wikipedia due to the fact that you do not understand legitimacy and hence legitimate power.
