	[[~~Wikipedia]] is the largest [[GFDL corpus access provider]]. It was [[usurper\|usurped]] by [[~~Wikimedia~~]] in 2003. Since then it has become increasingly corrupt and unresponsive to contributors and users. Evidence of '''Wikimedia corruption''' includes:~~		#REDIRECT [[alleged Wikimedia corruption]]

	~~=== structural~~ corruption ~~===~~

	*many [[GFDL violation]]s notably re [[attribution]] and access to source text and all improvements
	*no actual end user (as opposed to "developer" or "sysop" or "editor") rep on the "board"
	*"Wikimedia Foundation" not consulted when legally important decisions made, e.g. [http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2004-June/000384.html in response to Wikipedia being blocked in China], which is the biggest issue it has ever faced, the [[GodKing]] unilaterally "hereby authorize Andrew Lih to make a statement on our behalf, based on [[usual happy NPOV talk]]." This was less than one day after the "election" of [[Wikimedia Board of Trustees]] who evidently had no opinion that mattered, on this all-important question.
	*false claims added to [[Wikimedia]] article here, and true claims removed
	*[[technological escalation]] against [[Recyclopedia]] and threatened against [[Wikinfo]] - attempted coverup with extremely selective event reporting in [[Wikipedia]], attempts to blank this page.
	*users not consulted when user environment changes - suggesting only certain kinds or status of users "count"
	*solicitation of donations beyond Florida state lines - may violate US federal law
	*withholding of information regarding link transit at [[Wikipedia]] which would be very useful to editors, but also quite profitable for a [[search engine]] like [[Bomis]]; several attempts to raise this issue have been suppressed
	*[[outing]] and concomitant [[libel]] based on [[echo chamber]] claims
	*tolerance of extensive [[sysop vandalism]] most notably by [[Auntie Angela]] and [[Hephaestos]]
	*tolerance of extensive [[sysop vigilantiism]] and more serious [[developer vigilantiism]], notably by Tim Starling and Erik Moeller
	*[[ad hominem delete]] without process, recently spread to [[Meta-Wikipedia]]
	*[[ad hominem revert]] allowed to stand
	*U.S. and U.K. centric editorial policy, set by people who speak only English
	*total censorship of [[Wikipedia Red Faction]] - not even history now visible

	~~=== individual corruption ===~~

	*[[libel chill]] by Wales, attempting to silence critics of his decisions and appointments, or even just those who point out [[GFDL violation]]s by Wikimedia
	*[[Daniel Mayer]] was appointed to the position of Chief Financial Officer on July 4, 2004; this individual is hardly credible as a reporter of facts or a guardian of any principles, given his long standing participation in [[echo chamber]] and [[libel pit]] activities; it strongly detracts from credibility of [[Wikimedia]] and [[Wikipedia]] when such a person is in charge of the books
	*appointment of [[Tim Starling]] as "developer liaison" presumably to ensure that any features to reinforce [[sysop power structure]] will be high priority, and those that would distribute more power to users would become low priority
	*[[Erik Moeller]] nearly appointed to some "special" status after losing an election, permitted to engage in frequent pro-Wikimedia [[libel]] ~~activities~~
