As legit his criticism may be, his own encyclopedia is also inaccurate. Even worse is the edits take forever to be processed.

Same for Britannica. I tried editing it and it's a nightmare. Those who control it are less knowledgeable on the subject and more opinionated on it.

If the WMF were not cloaked in the happy shroud of nonprofits, they would be subject to American and European antitrust laws. The US has basically given up on antritrust enforcement but it might still happen in the EU. Perhaps the WMF simply aren't big and corrupt enough.....yet. Give it a few more...

From then on, the user can subjugate content to the democratic system and distort it by distorting the poli...

Just to clarify I didn't make that comment, but what is true is IP is only the first step if the investigation is inconclusive. There's a number of aspects besides IP and behavioral evidence they use to identify a potential sock. Serial sock-puppeteers I know and from my own experience with this pr...

Why would they trust him? He lacks judgement as an administrator so how would he make a trustable CU?
