== The Wikipedia Point of View ==
Hi my name is Peter and I am from '''Australia'''. I’ve been reading the article ''“The Wikipedia Point of View/Peter Damian Evidence”'' and the ''“The Wikipedia Point of View “'' with great interest. I originally came to Wikipedia to do a little bit of editing. But found myself writing in an area of Wikipedia that seems to be in a constant edit war. Wikipedia is becoming a domain for an ever-growing number of '''wiki-bullies'''. The idea of an encyclopedia proper just cannot be achieved this way and it’s probably past the point where any reform can help it. Here in Australia Universities, colleges and other tertiary education facilities have banned the use of Wikipedia as a research tool.
My particular experience with Wikipedia is that it is being used as a promotional tool for political agendas. This then brings up all sorts of moral issues, which I think should be important.
I would like to add a chapter to the article ''The Wikipedia Point of View'' concerning this. I would like to present my writings to you if I may. I think I need a realty check. I feel like I’ve been banging my head against a wall with this for a while now, on my own, and it’s only now that I’m presenting my concerns outside of Wikipedia.
