"He is also one of dozens of radical gays who CURRENTLY populate the upper tiers of wikipedia's administration. This guy is just the tip of the iceburg at Wikipedia"
Correct.
Wikipedia simply stinks to high heaven.
I have made it a point never to use it.

This link has a ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court about another of Wikipedia's top administrators. He's an ex lawyer who was disbarred as described in the case after he was caught soliciting his clients for prostitution.

Like many of the other pervs who run wikipedia, he posted a misleading profile that only says he's a "retired" lawyer without mentioning that his retirement is involuntary. He used his lawyer credentials to rise up the Wikipedia sysop circuit and is now the head of the Arbitration board - wikipedia's highest level of administrators and the final voice on content dispute.

I sometimes use it for convenience. There are topics not subject to interpretation, but when it comes to questions dealing with politics or religion I avoid the site. I will use it now and then for history, but ignore everything but the basic who, what, where and date - and I sometimes double check those.
