Wikimedia editors have rebelled in the last week against Wales’ attempts to remove pornographic images from the nonprofit’s websites.

That just doesn't compute. Wales made his money preddling gay porn:

“Prior to entering the dubious online encyclopaedia industry, Wales made his first fortune in gay pornography. He confounded Hustler magazine with Larry “Sanger” Flynt, but eventually left to pursue his dream of an online gay pornographic resource that would be free and to which contributions could be made by anyone. “Flynt” has since disavowed any claims of Jimbo’s to a role in Hustler, and Jimbo considers this defeat too embarrassing to admit — hence discussion of it is banned on Wikipedia.

Next, Jimmy Wales started Bomis.com, an erotic directory for young males too timid or too find real porn on the internet.”

uncyclopedia is a parody site. The Hustler bit is making fun of Wale's attempting to take sole credit for wikipedia and squeeze out Sanger.

Preddling?
Confounded?
or too find real porn?

If you are going to criticize a source, shouldn’t you take the time to verify your own grammar?

I have been made aware that the website you quoted from is a parody website, and that the errors might belong to them, not you.

If so, my apologies.
