“But I heard it is an encyclopedia!”.
You heard right, but that is how every Porn site, who are serious about their business masks themselves. Didn’t Jimbo tell you his Bomis.com was actually somewhat adult in content and not porn! In a typical wikipedia style I would first define what is porn, before arriving at any kind of judgement. As per dictionary.com
obscene writings, drawings, photographs, or the like, especially those having little or no artistic merit.
:::Ramesh, you got it wrong here! It says “having little or no artistic merit” but wikipedia has immense artistic value. You should first get your perception of art right. When you search Michael Arrington on google the first link is wikipedia article on him, which tells you The Fucking incidence of his life at great length. Had it been porn our elder brother Google would not have indexed it at all. So, your perception is entirely wrong, because what is art can’t be called Porn. See, how we Wikipedian, promoted an obscure Yahoo CEO, through a high traffic page. But, you should know We never accept ads on our site.
The page you are showing, has messed all the information about him. It rather discusses things of fringe value to the reader and omits many notable facts. Is this what one should know before knowing the basic facts about him. My take on the entire article is that someone is deliberately trying to make a villain out of a hero.
:::You know, anybody can edit this Wikipedia. so, if you feel something is wrong you are welcome to edit this page. Though, you should take care, we have editors already involved there, so, you should not add anything with which they disagree. Move by consensus, otherwise we have admins who can block you. We greatly value neutral point of view.
First of all, You must know, I was searching for information about him. So, my position is Knowledge Seeker, how I can provide knowledge about something which I myself don’t know. Are all your editors too similar kind of Seekers who have become providers. Second point is How can I have consensus with people with whom I clearly disagree, and they frequently quote hyperlinked rules which they themselves keep on violating.
:::You see nobody knows anything perfectly, and for anything you don’t know you should Google. Google and Wikipedia goes hand in hand. Google always shows Wikipedia in the first position, which contains all the information that other 9 links below can provide you. So, we do a great service by consolidating all the information from every poor website that ranks below us, but we do take care that our editors write it in their own language, and they do mix their own expert knowledge in them. Your second point can be answered in this way that We also have a rule that allows us to break all the rules. So, whereas a newbie like you should observe all the rules, a veteran there is above every rule. You know most of them are admins or enjoy the protection of an admin.
In other words are you telling me that you have Cabals there, and all your articles are outcome of their bias and prejudices, which also somehow maligns the original authors you guy cite.
::: Everybody hates someone, and they get delighted to see something bad written about someone on the top page served by Google. That motivates them to contribute more to our site, and also show it to others. These people get complete security under the cover of anonymity, and with time they grow up as our admins. So, what they cannot write anywhere else, they can write here. Since, they also know something about other topics like science and philosophy, they contribute there too. In this way we have grown into such a big website. We have cabals
I think you qualify as a porn site and not as an encyclopedia. Porn too delight people and are shared with similar intent, but is a recognized social evil.
::: See you cannot come up with such claim without a reliable source. You either find a forum of your choice or get a blog. As I told you, we do not fit into the description of porn, per the dictionary definition, because we all are so artful. Our founder Jimmy Wales is hailed as a Spiritual Leader.
I have a blog and I am fully responsible for everything I write here. You too dare to sign your work. You may not entirely fit into Porn category, but you are a very close extension of what pornography is, a kind of New Age Porn.
