And that's not all. I encourage everybody to take a look at the wikimedia's own webpage:

Search the page for "soros" or "open society" and right there for all of us to see, three of them!

Melissa(Hagemann) manages the Open Access Initiative within the Information Program of the Open Society Institute (OSI)/Soros foundations.

Ethan(Zuckerman) also works with Open Society Institute's Information Program, along with Melissa Hagemann.

Trevor Neilson is a Partner in the Global Philanthropy Group , a company that advises philanthropists on the development and implementation of philanthropic strategies. Neilson formed DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) with Bill Gates, Bono and George Soros, served as a founding board member, and stays involved as a member of DATA's policy board.

There's also a fourth member of the wikimedia foundation who is from OSI. Seeing the following is what made me curious enough to look for this info. You can see that here:

Wall Space (MacKinnon Formerly of CNN, now works for Soros)

I cannot say I'm at all surprised at how incestuous all of this is, but I can say I'm not surprised that there are not more conservative blogs that have thought to look this up. I hope they'll see this posting and this will become a big topic some day.

Nothing you read on wikipedia can be trusted.

Who Controls Wikipedia? Who Sponsors Wikipedia?

LOL - Who, in their right mind, reads at Wikipedia?

Who needs Wikipedia?

I won’t use it for any reference for absolute factual truths anymore.

Thanks for the heads up. I have seen many times where the articles have a leftist slant to the article. What is sad, is wiki is more and more considered to be the "authority" for reference.

I just hope no Freepers are donating to this left wing intrusion into our on-line society.

Wikipedia is open source, and is a product of modern technology, so it's up to you two if you wish to exercise your pings here.(this may not fit with what your pings are normally used for) I would, but that's just me.

I also would like this referenced in this thread:
