'''This article is mainly authored by a widely known [[wiki]] [[troll]] here known as [[142.177.X.X]]. S/he has numerous times expressed fierce opposition to [[Wikipedia]]/[[Wikimedia]] and belittlement of the worthy accomplishements of Wikipedia as a fairly reliable wealth of information. S/he got [[ban]]ned from all Wikipedia wikis a long time ago in accordance with their policy due to allegedly making a death threat.

Since the creation of [[Wikimedia]] by [[Daniel Mayer]], it has been '''alleged''' to have become increasingly corrupt and unresponsive to those contributors and users, and to be serving the agenda of its [[sysop power structure]] instead.  ''Many'' specific allegations have been posted to the [[Wikipedia mailing list]], ''far'' too many to list here, and these seem to have increased in number over time.  This list includes only the most egregious and legally actionable allegations:
