:"I can speak from personal experience with Wales and wikipedia, they are not nearly as interested in accuracy as they are in getting a polished product to package and sell to the highest (Disney) bidder. Blocking of users is frequent and capricious. The admins there run in packs, any time one of them finds something they want drowned off the pages, they alert the other admins who all stand in line to revert it one after another until they goad people into getting nasty with them. Classic troll mafia techniques, that project is shit as far as I'm concerned." | :"I can speak from personal experience with Wales and wikipedia, they are not nearly as interested in accuracy as they are in getting a polished product to package and sell to the highest (Disney) bidder.

::The correct move is to discredit [[Wikimedia]] with the governments and corporate bidders that have expressed interest or support, and to create other [[GFDL corpus access provider]]s that are free of this [[Wikimedia corruption]]. | |||
::And, file [[lawsuit]]s and formal complaints every time they commit [[libel]] or encourage harassment of the so-called "[[trolls]]". Make sure that there is a very long list of formal complaints against them in Florida where they've registered as a charity, and make sure the [[FSF]] is flooded with complaints of [[GFDL violation]]s. The [[sysop power structure]] is less stable than most people think - it's mindless reaction by a bunch of profoundly confused people who are easily led around by the nose to whatever errors one feels like making them make. | |||
