Wikipedia was suppose to be a central place for all the information anyone would ever need. For the first few years the repository exploded. I've read a couple grumbles about particular Wikipedia individuals who had axes to grind in making sure certain articles only presented the "right" view.
Recently things may have gotten worse. MrMerlot is a infrequent contributor to Wikipedia. He is an insider, but not one of the movers and shakers. He reports in Wikipedia: Lord of the Flies and Banned from Wikipedia: The Aftermath [reconsideration]. It appears that Wikipedia may becoming more and more dictatorial and bureaucratic.
It would be a sad ending to what once had great promise.
