Directory:Philippe Beaudette

Philippe Beaudette is a young man who took control of the Wikimedia Foundation's Strategic Planning initiative around July 23, 2009. Since that time, he has played petty games of censoring critiques in order to hide serious questions about the future of the Foundation. Thus, the Foundation is going to be directed into a sad, unambitious five-year plan that the mainstream media has already derided.

As one critic has said of Beaudette's strategic planning results:

The Wikimedia Foundation will continue to geek out on hard drives, bandwidth, and marveling at how many page views they garner. But, they will do nothing to work responsibly and ethically toward building a higher-quality, reliable compendium of human knowledge. Thus driving home the truth that Wikipedia is a massive online role-playing game, not an educational charity project. In a word, fraudulent.

Beaudette makes mistakes

Wikimedia Foundation executive director Sue Gardner said:

We've interviewed 65 people, including Board and Advisory Board members, staff, editors, onlookers, critics, supporters, and external subject-matter-experts...

One noteworthy critic of the Wikimedia Foundation wanted to know which of the 65 people interviewed were identified as "critics" of the Wikimedia Foundation. So, when asked this question on the Discussion page, if someone could enlighten us as to which "critics" were interviewed...

Philippe Beaudette's two-step cowardly response:

• 17:40, 20 January 2010 Philippe (WMF) (Talk | contribs) blocked Thekohser2 (Talk | contribs) with an expiry time of infinite (account creation disabled, e-mail blocked)

• 18:03, 20 January 2010 Critics? Which one(s)? Philippe (WMF) (Talk | contribs) Deleted (content was: 'The letter says that "critics" were engaged or interviewed by the Foundation strategy project. I'd like to know which one(s) in particular. Considering ho...' (and the only contributor was 'Thekohser2'))

Has it really come to the point that simply asking which critic(s) were engaged or interviewed by the Foundation strategy project is a censored and blockable offense?

Unable to control his weaselly, sycophantic, and undying support of the Foundation that sustains his livelihood, Beaudette has blocked nearly 100 entities from participating in the Foundation's strategic planning, rather than letting them engage in dialog as mature adults. The result? Pages such as this one that you are reading now.
