    Evidence of '''Wikimedia corruption''' includes:
    #REDIRECT [[alleged Wikimedia corruption]]
     
    *no actual end user (as opposed to "developer" or "sysop" or "editor") rep on the "board"
    *"Wikimedia Foundation" not consulted when legally important decisions made, e.g. [http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2004-June/000384.html in response to Wikipedia being blocked in China], which is the biggest issue it has ever faced, the [[GodKing]] unilaterally "hereby authorize Andrew Lih to make a statement on our behalf, based on [[usual happy NPOV talk]]."  This was less than one day after the "election" of [[Wikimedia Board of Trustees]] who evidently had no opinion that mattered, on this all-important question.
    *false claims added to [[Wikimedia]] article here, and true claims removed
    *[[technological escalation]] against [[Recyclopedia]] and threatened against [[Wikinfo]]
    *users not consulted when user environment changes
    *[[libel chill]] by Wales
    *solicitation of donations beyond Florida state lines
    *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
    *[[outing]] and concomitant [[libel]] based on [[echo chamber]] claims
    *[[sysop vandalism]] most notably by [[Auntie Angela]]
    *[[sysop vigilantiism]] and more serious [[developer vigilantiism]], notably by Tim Starling and Erik Moeller
    *[[ad hominem delete]] without process, recently spread to [[Meta-Wikipedia]]
    *[[ad hominem revert]] allowed to stand, including clearly racist ones, e.g. on Islam articles by Zionists, pointing to articles primarily written BY Zionists
    *U.S. and U.K. centric editorial policy, set by people who speak only English
