Wikipedia Semi-Protection Begins

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the better-than-none dept.

seanvaandering writes "Admins began applying their recently announced 'Wikipedia semi-protection' feature this week. The first articles to be semi-protected were George W. Bush, Hitler, and Jesus Christ, barring the newest 1% of all users and anonymous visitors from modifying the article (apparently Satan didn't make the cut). Does this mark the end of the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit?"

    I notice how wikipedia does not mind having pedophiles access our children through wikipedia, but only inserts protective measures when it benefits THEM. This dissonance is sickening, and I recommend we do something about it.

    www.theposc.com has some good information on this.

    Maybe they know about that stuff you download from the sites that Pete Townsend only 'visited' ?

    It's creepy as hell ... but that doesn't make it any less creepy.

    Or maybe they know about that stuff you're smoking that makes every thing 'creepy' ?
