    Wikipedia is the largest GFDL corpus access provider. It was usurped by Wikimedia in 2003. Since then it has been alleged to have become increasingly corrupt and unresponsive to contributors and users. Evidence of Wikimedia corruption includes:

    structural corruption

    recently dealt with

    • 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; finally in September 2004 some code emerged to start to deal with it.

    individual corruption by officers
