[Do not dub me shapka broham]

*guffaw*

I love this novel conception of "vandalism," which seems to be shared only by the Wikiphiles.

What exactly constitutes "vandalism" in their eyes?

Amending horribly distorted, inaccurate, biased information promulgated by that website's editors?

Oh noes!!!

We can't have that, now can we?

*prolonged eye roll*

Rumored take over of Wikipedia by Google Did you know that Cuba is a democracy, led by a benevolent leader (who should never be called a dictator) and directed by a freely elected socialist, not communist, government? Well if you don’t know this you have not been reading the “correct sources. You should have been reading Wikipedia/Cuba especially the “discussion” and “history” sections. Well there you would learn hitherto unknown facts for instance Batista in 1952 was opposed by the Liberal Party. And I had thought the Liberal Party had disappeared 20 years before. Going back to in time to causes of the Spanish America War you would learn that the US was outraged by the deaths of mere hundreds, not hundreds of thousands of Cubans. Stupid me I had always thought that the argument was between 200,000 or 400,000 deaths en “La Reconcentraccion”. Well Castro’s father Angel was like his son a good guy and he would never have been involved is such terror. Seriously, Wikipedia has a right to conduct its business as it wishes. However, when Wikipedia proceeds to distort history others also have a right to know about it. Especially those investor of Google who seemingly want to incorporate Wikipedia into their business, perhaps because Wikipedia is one of the most cited sources on a given google search. However, it is wise to suggest to students, investors or anybody else you know that Wikipedia is not the wisest choice for research (or investment) on a given topic. Supposedly Wikipedia allows input from all sources. However, now it is going one step further it is now banning contributors who do not follow a certain ideological concept. In the Alice in Wonderland of Wikipedia/Cuba “Vandalism” is to have a different view point, and for this you can and will be banned.
