Wikipedia is hopeless. The best bet is to just let it become what its editors want it to become...Liberalpedia. Then they can spout "NPOV" all they want but it will be so obviously hypocritical that no one will be fooled.

I love what they are doing with this article and the Kfir Alfia article. Common tactic...suggest that articles be merged...and then when they are all merged into one...put it up for deletion.

Wikipedia is HOPELESS. Its ridiculous to get involved with what is going on there.

Even the merging of articles alone is bad - two related but seperate topics thrown together confuses things somewhat.

The crowd at Wikipedia have already moved into operating the "memory hole" themselves.

This shouldn't have surprised anyone who has had experience with the professional left. They are all totalitarians at heart.

From the experts themselves....

About Wikipedia:

Wikipedia, a content-free encyclopedia in many languages, started life in January 2001 and has already risen to the status of the internets premiere "trollpedia".

Currently Wikipedia contains 363950 articles, 10032 of which are genuine, and 343 of them factually accurate.

Leaving Wikipedia on an academic par with "Star Wars: Incredible Cross-sections: The Ultimate Guide to Star Wars Vehicles and Spacecraft" and "My First Book of Animals from A to Z".
