    Please read this article. Wikipedia isn’t neutral at all. In fact, Wikipedia applies censorship in extreme ways:

    bit (dot) ly / 5CMOGi

  2. Dorfkanal says:

    Wales is such a hypocrite. Wikipedia themselves are happily endorsing censorship. A good example is that guy inside Wikipedia (who is member of pro-AGW organisation RealClimate) rewriting thousands of articles about climate change, CO2, etc. to evoke the impression there would be a scientific consensus abot man-made global warming. Google for:

    ‘wikipedia’s climate doctor’

    If you imagine a world whithout cencorship, you must also imagine a world in which the profit paradigm is gone.
    Since human beings are animals, their greed to get more than they need will always surpass their demand for free information. Everyone here will back up from his demands of a world with free information as soon as he gets offered a million dollars. Thats the state in which mankind is trapped. And I fail to see any changes in this rather primitive acting for the next hundred years.

    Wikipedia sucks, it should be used as ones last resort in seeking information.

  5. timtak1 says:

    Wikipedia censors all the stuff (“the rest of the library”) that ends up on Wikia, that makes Mr. Wales money.

    It could be argued therefore that Wikipedia censors content for self-gratuity.

    Thanks Jimmy,

    Anyone who thinks that the internet should be censored should be publicly after watching their wife and children be raped and burned in front of them. Then their organs (those not burned) should be sold to wealthy Japanese medical patients. This is the behavior you’re promoting if you believe in China’s policy.

    yeah dude, the only problem is that the chinesse guy doing the job is as poor as a rat and your filthy rich.

    Someone needs to see a shrink, crackboy.

    Wales, youre a soulless delusional criminal! GTFO OUR Internet! You are a special agent, fostering clear lies on Wikipedia, to support the views of the criminals in power. Id found a country, just to make you an enemy of my state, and shoot you on arrival!

  12. charronfamilyconnect says:

    So in other words become a conformist, and don’t become a free thinker, nor rock the boat, and you will get recognition on Wikipedia perhaps huh?

  13. Percapita99 says:

    I would like to ask Jimmy Wales what the hell he was smoking when he developed wikianswers.

  14. brianreading says:

    Put many of the most reliable sources that you know of, word it in a neutral manner, and follow other Wikipedia guidelines, and you probably wouldn’t get your contributions deleted.

  15. brianreading says:

    I can tell you that you weren’t blocked from Wikipedia for that. You were blocked because you failed to listen to consensus, or were unmistakably attempting to vandalize it multiple times.

    You don’t get blocked by simply doing what you said you did. Plain and simple.

  16. brianreading says:

    That’s pretty contentious, and unverifiable. :P

  17. charronfamilyconnect says:

    Now you know the origin of the expression too far out in left field. Its a quality of todays so called great thinkers who lack balance in their life and centredness in their life. They are confined to a narrow band width of thought and imagination and are typically uncompassionate egotists.

  18. charronfamilyconnect says:

    I see far too much censorship on wikipedia. Like why is astrotheology no longer listed in wikipedia and people like Gregg Braden and a whole slew of new age thinkers such as him. Is someone afraid of new ideas that conflict with the present day status quo?? So much for access to information and freedom of speech. Wikipedia Sucks big ones just like its biased left brain thinking owners of that site.

  19. hairybeast101 says:

    wikipedia censors and discriminates against thirdworld countries

  20. MagnoliaSamurai says:

    You can’t add something to wikipedia that can’t be confirmed with a reliable source. If you just kept trying to add it over and over, you were probably blocked for being disruptive.

  21. 7jackson7michigan7 says:

    I got blocked from Wiki because i posted a game by MILTON BRADLEY on the list of MB games. I WENT TO wIKI to find any information i could on the game called POP BALL the gay game of chance.—-its a real game ,check out my video-they won,t unblock me, and so far i have found nothing on this game and since i first posted my vid a load of people on plastic balls popping them has popped up —its a kids game.

  22. BeatBuddy says:

    Lie on your stomach, spread your legs, and I’ll show you what power this sissy ass faggot has. You’ll beg for more.

  23. westmeaty says:

    so basically you’re a sissy ass faggot sucking cock. keep milking my cock u fucking faggot lolol :)

  24. ciaran3707 says:

    If Wikipedia wasn’t censored at all it would end up being full of bullshit and speculation like a gloriifed iternet forum.

  25. Raffaello9 says:

    some people keep deleting my contributions to the sum of human knowledge. No reason to continue there.
