The nasty new face of internet censorship. Bans anyone with actual knowledge of a subject and deletes articles about sites that criticise or parodies it. Nothing more than a tool to push the American POV and "American" (lol) English as being the correct form.
Editor-"Mr Wales, why do you ban people who have actual knowledge?"

Get the wikipedia mug.Wikipedia is a great idea in theory, but in practice, most of it's a waste of cyber-ink. It's supposed to be a massive open-source encyclopedia. To its credit, it contains some quirky, interesting information not found anywhere else. However, it also contains factual inaccuracies and political garbage. The bulk of its most influential contributors (the ones with power) are ideological morons, each of whom has to put his/her opinion into every article, even on topics like Norse mythology or basket-weaving. Petty squabbles dominate while factual integrity and cooperative production are made tertiary priorities. The worst aspect of Wikipedia is the "cabal" of like-minded, influential, long-standing contributors who dress their views up as "consensus" and use their sysop privileges to bully anyone who disagrees with them. As an interesting footnote, the encyclopedia was also implicated in a 2004 character assassination effort by a band of anonymous right-wingers against Mike Church.

Get the Wikipedia mug."You don't know who Rasputin was, do you?"
"Yes, I do. He was a Russian peasant who claimed to have special powers, and fooled the czar into thinking he is healing his son, while he was only using him to gain power and women and control."
"Nice! Are you a Russian, like me? Because there's no way you could have learned it at school."
"No, I just read it on Wikipedia"
"...Bastard"

Get the Wikipedia mug.An online pseudo-encyclopedia that is run by a bunch of pimply-faced teenaged nerds and 40 year old obese virgins living in the mothers' basements. On this particular website, truth isn't based upon the facts but rather upon majority opinion.

Get the wikipedia mug.An elaborate message board filled with complete inaccuracies, tabloid influenced rhetoric, outrageous emotional based opinions, blatant political conflagration, and callous disregard for scientific fact, which is thinly disguised as a free, open source, online encyclopedia that postures itself to be an authoritative and factual information resource; where the moderators and owners of the site delete and cover up entries they disagree with, discounting objective facts and labeling such users as "vandals" inside the alleged collaborative structure that is really designed to have the web population do its work for them with no compensation.
