'''Wikipedia''' is a [[multilingual]], [[World Wide Web|Web]]-based [[free content]] [[encyclopedia]] project. The name ''Wikipedia'' is a [[Blend (linguistics)|blend]] of the words ''[[wiki]]'' and ''encyclopedia''. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by [[volunteer]]s, allowing most articles to be changed by almost anyone with access to the website. Wikipedia's main [[Server (computing)|servers]] are in [[Tampa, Florida]], with additional servers in [[Amsterdam]] and [[Seoul]].

Most people who edit Wikipedia believe that they are improving it for posterity and humanity's sake. They have been tricked by the seductive scam of Wikipedia. In reality, Wikipedia is a deliberately ''verkakte'' architecture for knowledge, and the [[Directory:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] knows it. But they perpetuate this architecture because they know it is an addictive one to weak-minded individuals who think they are "helping" the world by staying on top of the bullshit, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The Philippines Court of Appeals has [http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/infotech/view/20100828-289290/Solgen-loses-case-for-relying-on-Wikipedia-as-an-authority ruled] that Wikipedia "is certainly unacceptable evidence, nothing short of a mere allegation totally unsupported by authority."

Truth isn't evolving, ideas are just being exchanged. Wikipedia is a place where an idea of truth is held, even if this idea is written by a Phd. [3]

Of the top ten, Wikipedia is the only non-profit website. The growth of Wikipedia has been fueled by its dominant position in Google search results; about 50% of search engine traffic to Wikipedia comes from Google, a good portion of which is related to academic research. [2]

It's not some secret Wiki Cabal that is somehow misleading people into thinking that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It's the goddamn mission goddamn mission. [4]

I agree with Larry Sanger that dealing with unreasonable people on Wikipedia is a tiresome process with an uncertain outcome. Traditional media also has its share of people who misuse the authority implicit in one-way communications to push a point of view that wouldn't fare so well in more egalitarian discourse. [3]

What annoys me about Wikipedia is the people's penchant for rewording other people's stuff. [5]
