The Wikipedians Who Make it Happen

Wired has decided to give some credits to the most active wikipedians, in their article titled Wiki becomes a way of life"

A bunch of censor-prone, fascist freaks.
Did Taco just approve this submission, or did he actually write it?

No entries on Wikipedia can truly be trusted.

Um, do you fools even know what flamebait is? It's not a fashion color option for something you otherwise would have modded "troll". I'd think that for this to be flamebait, at the very least, I'd have to say something controversial. Moreso, it should almost always be reserved for those statements that are intentionally inflammatory.
This makes me so angry! ARRRGH!!!!

Google should grab a nightly dump and set up pedia.google.com
Thats disgusting. Grabbing dumps is bad enough, but then u bring Pediaphiles into it.

The anti-Mentifex snobbery is a prime example of what is wrong with Wikipedia -- self-appointed experts fawning over the AI Establishment and arrogantly dissing independent scholars, who make their own serious contributions but who are not part of the attention-demanding priesthood of artificial intelligence.
AI has been solved -- but the vicious holier-than-thou Wikipaedophiles try to chase away all news of the slumbering, still awakening, solution to artificial intelligence.
AI algorithms are now freely available on the 'Net, memetically spreading the news that AI has been solved, in spite of the head-in-the-sand ostriches that infest Wikipedia -- the ha-ha free-for-all encyclpedia. Now watch the same manner of nattering nabobs come in and insult any open-source AI software developer who dares to throw out the exceptional but true claim that AI has been solved.
Theory, not software, is where AI has been solved. People should not use the primitive nature of the AI Mind software to debunk or dismiss the sincere claim that AI -- in theory -- has indeed been solved. Now, would a-n-y-b-o-d-y like to write a non-partisan, fair-minded Mentifex AI article on Wikipedia, or is that goal totally impossible?
According to WikiPedia, we should question why this story got accepted. from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot
The Slashdot editors are sometimes accused of posting (and even preferring) stories that are, themselves, thinly-disguised trolls, which encourage large numbers of postings in response, and of accepting kickbacks to post certain stories.
the editors of wiki had:
1. no axes to grind 2. committment to accuracy 3. no conflicting interests 4. credentials
Oh, and btw, using wikipedia as "source" is like saying something is true because your brother-in-law says it is (and he's a dr/atty/chemist/nobel laureate/cereal box prize winner/etc....). Not credible.
It's not an encylopedia, it's a editorial page on a multitude of subjects.
Not trying to goad anyone, just making an observation.
