Re: Katherine Maher Named C.E.O. of NPR
Regardless of your positions in the NPR fiasco I strongly suspect that it will become another opportunity to get Wikipedia's problems exposed for good. The possibility of Congressional committee on Wikipedia's problems one day may have crossed into certainty by this point, as politicians wouldn't ta...

Re: Hello, one and all
Hi, I am unsure where to do this, but I thought I'd give you my personal experience. Jeez, it's hard to believe that Wikipedians (quite a few of them) can be power-tripping and vindictive.

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust
Mandating real names on websites is not really a guarantee to safeguard against abuse And locking your front door is no guarantee that no one will break into your home.
