-'''Wikipedia''' is a [[large public wiki]] run by the [[Wikimedia]] "foundation', ''which some claim is a front for James Wales and Bomis Corporation, their partners and friends.  Because Wikipedia censors much discussion of its own deficiencies, especially its legally significant ones, this article will focus on these, to balance the view at [[w:Wikipedia]] and [[w:Meta-Wikipedia]], which contains largely a Wikipedia-promoting view.''

+'''Wikipedia''' is a [[large public wiki]] run by the [[Wikimedia]] "foundation", It also receives support from Bomis Inc. and in the form of free [[bandwidth]] and this connection with a [[for-profit]] [[corporation]] is seen as a burden affecting the functioning of [[Wikipedia]] as ''' a free encyclopedia''' as it claims to be.

 Wikipedia claims to be an [[encyclopedia]] based on the [[GFDL text corpus]].  That is, it claims to have the editorial standards of an encyclopedia.  It further asserts by claiming it is applying the terms of the GFDL that anything written and released under [[GFDL]], including those directly submitted via [[the Wikipedia user interface]] which is based on [[mediawiki]], can be legally included in the Wikipedia corpus.
