| |
| | |
| '''Sysop vandalism''' is [[wiki vandalism]] by those unfortunately entrusted with administrative ("[[sysop]]") powers. It is surprisingly common on large public wikis, but violates provisions of [[open content]] licenses such as the [[GFDL]].
| |
| | |
| Most such vandalism is authorized by [[Wikipedia:candidates for speedy deletion|clauses in Wikipedia policy]] that authorize the deliberate degrading of the quality of the [[GFDL corpus]] in order to discourage those who disagree politically or otherwise with the [[sysop power structure]] that has gained control of the wiki's policies.
| |
| | |
| As there is no mention of such structures or provisions in the [[GFDL]], and the effect of such clauses is simply to restrict access to improved or corrected material, this is one of several ways in which [[Wikipedia violates GFDL]].
| |
| | |
| Typically the power structure will deny that they violate the license or abuse the trust of contributors, and will delete articles such as this which expose their activities. They further will deny that there can be any such phenomena as '''sysop vandalism''', since they believe that vandals are defined by themselves, not by any objective criteria that could be verified by an [[indepedent board]] or a court.
