Wikipedia cultist: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 22:41, 28 August 2005

A Wikipedia cultist believes any of the following obviously foolish things:

that Wikipedia is a community rather than simply an internet portal
that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, even though all its content is in the GFDL corpus and can be copied anywhere by anyone, and there is no credible source validation
that sysop vandalism somehow improves the GFDL corpus (it doesn't) and does not violate GFDL (it does)
that all GFDL corpus access providers must provide links to Wikipedia as if it were always the authoritative version of any article in the corpus
that Jim Wales is a GodKing or can be referred to same as if that were harmless
that the Wikipedia mailing list is actually a source of definitive knowledge or truth suitable to republish in the articles themselves
