Verbage is a term coined at either Amazon or to describe republican talking-points, and a misspelling of verbiage.[1][2] It can also be concatenation of the words verb and garbage — essentially meaning "word garbage".[3][4] Wikipedia gets out of hand when people produce verbage, and creating verbage on talk-pages can be a deliberative strategy to silence dissent — if your text dominates people might think you are winning a dispute despite lack of any real arguments. Please don't produce verbage — it won't be read, not on talk, and not in articles. Verbage undermines the process of reaching consensus, scaring away new eyes by obscuring the issues — be succinct!

Another way to interpret this essay is that competence is required even with words. This may be appropriate if you are unable to clearly state your point, or consistently misunderstand others. Incoherence as an excuse to allow changing your position is disruptive.
