Wikipedia co-founder Dr. Larry Sanger barely avoided being blocked from Wikipedia by Wikipedia’s administrator Beeblebrox who has administrative tools in spite of having difficulties in spelling and being very uncivil. Professor Messer-Kruse was lucky he did not get banned from Wikipedia for so called “self-promotion”. Professor Carl Hewitt was not so lucky. Professor Hewitt was banned from Wikipedia for improving scientific articles by providing references to his own works. On the other hand Wikipedia’s administrator Gwen Gale (Heidy Wyss) who wrote two articles about absolutely not notable self was never sanctioned even after the articles were discovered and removed from Wikipedia. Even pseudo-academics are treated better than the real ones are. Jimbo Wales called user Essjay [http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/essjay-the-ersatz-academic/2874 “a fantastic editor and trusted member of the community”] just after it was discovered that 24-years old college dropout Essjay lied about his academic credentials.
