This is bullshit anyway.  The real article on the '''Red Faction''' was deleted unaccountably and should be restored, because its a good example of conflict between an ethical minority and an unethical [[sysop power structure]].  Even its ending is a good example of that.

"One thing I've noticed is there seems to be a systematic persecution of left-wing users on Wikipedia. Users who do nothing but make POV right-wing rants like User:Ed Poor get made admin. The only admin who tries to help protect left wing users from persecution, User:172, is himself persecuted (Wikipedia:Conflicts_between_users/172, User_talk:172_sysop_status). Other users who might be called left wing like User:Wik are also persecuted (Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration/Wik,Wikipedia:Conflicts_between_users/Wik).
An interesting thing is that the right-wing users are all ultimately and leveraging their ultimate power - that Wikipedia's servers are owned by "Jimbo" Wales, who controls everything, doled out adminships and so forth. I should note that Jimbo, who controls Wikipedia's capital of servers, is a fan of the far right Ayn Rand. The right-wingers base what they want to do on authority - the authority of adminships, where they can ban users and so forth and so on."
- from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Richardchilton English Wikipedia User Richardchilton]'s account of [[systemic bias]] of [[Wikimedia]] and the way it contributed to [[Wikipedia Red Faction]]'s eventual and total suppression.
