I removed all of the following from the main article, because it is mostly nonsense.
*Refusing to release [[Most Clicked Links]] information on any [[Wikipedia]], even the small ones, where tracking this information would be quite simple, and would assist authors in supporting real end user interests.
::They are in no way obliged to reveal this information. If you have a problem with this go create a [[fork]] of [[Wikipedia]]. Some have tried it.
:::Actually, this claim is completely and totally false.  There has been no refusal of any kind to release any data of this kind.  Additionally,  I can find no evidence that anyone is even asking for this, or
that any one has ever been critical (except here on this page) of us for this imagined fault.
*Releasing only very limited page visit information - maybe due to the performance cost it adds
::: Again, completely false.  There is no truth to this at all.
*Treating use of [[ISO]] language codes in [[mediawiki]]'s [[interwiki link standard|interwiki link conventions]] as if they are invocations of Wikipedia in that language, not simply references to "that page in that language".
::But the interwiki links point to the page in another language
:::This complaint is completely incoherent.  If the original complainant could explain himself, I'm sure that any such problem would be eagerly addressed.
*Banning, harassing, [[outing|attempting to "out"]] and permitting (if not deliberately attempting) [[framing]] users who point out any of the above.  This sometimes reaches the bizarre extreme of [[echo chamber]] assertions being cited in Wikipedia articles as if they were true.
:The most common criticism of Wikipedia is that the community is too open and welcoming and tolerant of people who have no willingness to work together in a healthy way with others.  Such people are indeed angered when, after months of agonizing deliberations and attempts to find ways to
compromise, they are eventually banned.  Most wikipedians seem to feel that Jimbo has always been too lenient about such matters.
