Sorry to harp on this once more but…
Read: Wikipedia’s hockey stick wars
How does Wikipedia work and how do Connolley and his co-conspirators exercise control? Take Wikipedia’s page for Medieval Warm Period, as an example. In the three days following my column’s appearance, this page alone was changed some 50 times in battles between Connolley’s crew and those who want a fair presentation of history.
[...]
Battles like this occurred on numerous fronts, until just after midnight on Dec. 22, when Connolley reimposed his version of events and, for good measure, froze the page to prevent others from making changes — and to prevent the public, even in two-minute windows, from realizing that today’s temperatures look modest in comparison to those in the past. In the World of Wikipedia, as seen here, the hockey stick graph, and Connolley’s version of history, still rules.
And so Orwell’s Ministry of Truth is alive and well — we just know it as Wikipedia.

After all the BS spun by their admins …. they have the nerve to present themselves as a panacea of knowledge:
“Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet has free access to the sum of all human knowledge.”
— Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia
They sure as hell won’t be getting a penny from me.
I have e-mailed all of these links to my kids. I don’t want another child thinking that they are writing or demonstrating FACTS, using Wiki as their source.
Millions of kids do and it’s a travesty that we are now DEPROGRAMMING our youth because of this crap on Wiki, David Suzuki and Al Gore.
It’s BS and I’m outraged!
Of course teachers/professors should be rejecting material that references Wikipedia. But then it’s the leftist educators who are part of the brainwashing/indoctrination problem.
