The '''Wikipedia Red Faction''' was disbanded by its creator, [[English Wikipedia User Plato]], and deleted, under pressure from [[Abe Sokolov]] and  [[English Wikipedia User Guanaco]].  Upon its disband, Plato was complimented by the fundamentalist Christian [[English Wikipedia User Jrosenszweig]] who was evidently pleased that [[faction]]s of [[Reds]] were not allowed at Wikipedia - while factions such as his own remained welcome to push their POV constantly.
The '''Wikipedia Red Faction''' was disbanded by its creator, [[English Wikipedia User Plato]], and deleted, after [[Abe Sokolov]]'s attempt to destroy it via a vote for deletion had failed.  Upon its disband, Plato was complimented by the fundamentalist Christian [[English Wikipedia User Jrosenszweig]] who was evidently pleased that Plato had voluntarily chosen to end the faction - while factions such as his own (whose membership remains unknown, un-self-identified, and possibly nonexistent) remained welcome to attempt to push their POV constantly.  


[[Abe Sokolov]] listed it on votes for deletion, which is not supposed to apply to user pages, but no matter - consensus during the VfD vote was to leave the page alone.  However this made it clear to Plato that [[sysop power structure]] was inalterably opposed to [[m:factionalism]] or [[representative democracy]] of any kind - despite the fact that a large majority of those who took interest in the page, including half a dozen or so sysops, were ''against'' its deletion. ''For more on this, see [[w:User:Richardchilton|an account by English Wikipedia User Richardchilton]], detailing [[EPOV]], [[Fox News point of view]], [[infrastructure owners trust]], [[systemic bias]], [[heroic trolling]] and [[technological escalation]] issues, among others.''
