From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I would like to know who gets to lock down pages and censor contributions. No credible reasons have been given for censoring information on TV3 (Catalonia) and Barcelona. There seems to be an irrational pecking order in Wiki that grants censorship rights to characters like "Andromeda" (you guessed - a non-native contributor who writes in bad English and whose listed interests include "Stargate"). No wonder the encyclopedia contains so much crap. It therefore came as little surprise to discover that until recently, Wiki's arbitration supremo ("ArbCom") was a man who passed himself off as a professor with no fewer than four theological degrees. It later transpired that the 24-year old wunderkind had no qualifications worth talking about. The whole wretched tale can be read:
In these circumstances, I should not be at all surprised if many jump ship to join Citizendium or other initiatives that aim to overcome Wiki's fatal shortcomings.
