"[[GodKing]]" for several years encouraged new Wikipedia leaders to use cult-like language that discouraged opposition to his views, and to disparage those who offer counterveiling policies. Bomis's owner Jim Wales set the direction away from a peer-reviewed encyclopedia, and presents as a primary pundit against the feasibility of reviewed encyclopedias in numerous interviews." This much is factual and verifiable. Less clear is the impact of this policy, which "driven by Bomis' desire for rapid development, made Wikipedia more available to those who present election-time and war-time misinformation." Obviously this has become an issue in a US election year when there is an ongoing war in [[Iraq]]. | "[[GodKing]]" for several years encouraged new Wikipedia leaders to use cult-like language that discouraged opposition to his views, and to disparage those who offer counterveiling policies.

Re: "requests such as "Please stop it" from Wales" - obviously such a "request" is very loaded by the threat of [[technological escalation]], and [[English Wikipedia User Secretlondon]] saw it for what it was: censorship. As for what "it" is, what is "it"? [[w:Anti-Americanism]] ? All sane people are anti-American. So every word of "please", "stop" and "it" are loaded by the implications of [[GodKing]] making the request, and [[priestly hierarchy]] enforcing it. It just isn't possible for Wales to make such a "request", it will be interpreted as an "order" or "license" by those who want to attack her. And it was. | |||
