From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 2005 August 10, after i have realised that Wikipedia is moving towards a more and more deletionist stance, i came to Anarchopedia.
My only presence on Wikipedia will from now on be to more content to Anarchopedia.

- Note to all Wikipedians: Please feel free to fix spelling and grammar errors (with the exception of capitalisation), but please don't alter the content. All the discussion should take place on my talk page.

- Note to Wiki admins: I don't mess around Wikipedia, i don't create pages out of boredom or as a joke. However, 2 pages of i've created (Hungry ghost realm and Hell realm) were deleted, i can't find out why (maybe somebody can point me to the right direction), i have recreated those pages. If you have an issue with my contributions please leave something on my talk page, maybe i've done something not the way you wish it to be, and i'm willing to spend time fixing it. Thank you.

[edit] How i started with Wiki
I've began my help to the Wikipedia project when i was searching for the information on the internet for my university course. Then i've realized that there aren't many resources out there to do the true research without paying some sort of membership fee. Oh, yes, uni did provide us with some encyclopedias on the net that we could use without any charges, but most of those were written very one-sidedly, and there were times when i knew more than the article was giving, and nothing could be done about it. Finally i have stumbled upon Wiki. Although there were/are many inaccuracies and biases, it gave me an option to simply click the edit tab and add my own knowledge to whatever was already there.
[edit] My concerns about Wiki
I believe that Wikipedia with all its positive sides also has many downfalls. One of the major ones (in my opinion) is that there is no room for original research. Author must simply restate what somebody else has already said. When someone comes out with their own experiences that is labelled as POV and stricken out.
Another one is NPOV wars that go on. Some people simply can't agree with keeping opposing point of view in the article and adding their own. They also want to delete anything contradicting their limited world view.
