It is now located at its own domain name, which was created by the user Blissyu2 <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">with help from Igor Alexander, Blu Aardvark, Qwerty and Lir (all screen names) with </ins>Selina <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">(not her real name, and widely believed to be male) as tech support, and, as tech support, </ins>was the first user <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">and made the first post. After it was created, Selina, who was not an administrator of the site, hacked the site in order to ban the founder Igor Alexander based </ins>on <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Wikipedia administrator SlimVirgin's false claim that Igor Alexander was Amelekite who in turn was Alex Linder (in spite of evidence that </ins>the <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">3 were different people) [https://igoralexander.wordpress.com/tag/alex-linder/] [http://vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=23847], which SlimVirgin claimed proved that Wikipedia Review was a front for anti-Semitic activity (in spite of zero posts criticising Jews). While Amalekite is a member of the Vanguard News Network (VNN), a </ins>site <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">that Alex Linder owns, they are clearly different people, and Igor Alexander actively opposes Alex Linder. This vicious lie by one of Wikipedia Review's greatest enemies, SlimVirgin, was designed to destroy Wikipedia Review</ins>, and <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">it ultimately succeeded, as in late 2006 two of the founding members, Blu Aardvark and Lir, hacked the site to remove Selina by force from the site, to give it back to Blissyu2, who unfortunately </ins>was <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">away from the computer </ins>at the <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">time and could not get it back. Following this, Selina hacked the site further</ins>, with <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">the help of Somey, which eventually took permanent control of the site, later banning the owner </ins>Blissyu2 <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">from his own site after he had opposed the outing of SlimVirgin's true identity</ins>. <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline"> This outing in turn was used as the excuse for </ins>Blissyu2 <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">to be permanently </ins>banned from <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Wikipedia, even though Daniel Brandt had been the one who had outed her, and Blissyu2 had opposed it. Under Somey and Selina's rule, </ins>the site <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">was hacked again in 2008</ins>, <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">though whoever hacked it never said who they were. Somey </ins>and <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Selina used this time as an excuse to change </ins>the <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">mission statement (as quoted below)</ins>, <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">and to garner support for the people </ins>who <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">had stolen the site from its original founders, all </ins>of <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">whom were banned from their own site. After </ins>the original <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">founders were all banned from their own site, the site stabilised somewhat, though it eventually ran into problems and virtually closed down</ins>, <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">with the only reason it still exists on that domain name </ins>now <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">being so that </ins>the <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">original founders cannot take over </ins>the <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">domain name</ins>. <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline"> Bar the original founders, it has now largely been replaced </ins>by [[<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">wikipediocracy</ins>]]<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">, who have continued to ban all of the original founders from their site as well</ins>.</div></td></tr>

It is now located at its own domain name, which was created by the user Blissyu2 <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">with help from Igor Alexander, Blu Aardvark, Qwerty and Lir (all screen names) with </del>Selina <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">(not her real name, and widely believed to be male) as tech support, and, as tech support, </del>was the first user <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">and made the first post. After it was created, Selina, who was not an administrator of </del>the site, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">hacked the site in order to ban the founder Igor Alexander based on Wikipedia administrator SlimVirgin's false claim that Igor Alexander was Amelekite who in turn was Alex Linder (in spite of evidence that the 3 were different people) [https://igoralexander.wordpress.com/tag/alex-linder/] [http://vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=23847], which SlimVirgin claimed proved that Wikipedia Review </del>was a <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">front for anti-Semitic activity (in spite of zero posts criticising Jews). While Amalekite is a </del>member <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">of the Vanguard News Network (VNN), a site that Alex Linder owns, they are clearly different people, and Igor Alexander actively opposes Alex Linder. This vicious lie by one of Wikipedia Review's greatest enemies, SlimVirgin, was designed to destroy Wikipedia Review, and it ultimately succeeded, as in late 2006 two of the founding members, Blu Aardvark and Lir, hacked the site to remove Selina by force from the site, to give it back to Blissyu2, who unfortunately was away from the computer </del>at the <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">time and could not get it back. Following this, Selina hacked the site further</del>, with <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">the help of Somey, which eventually took permanent control of the site, later banning the owner </del>Blissyu2 <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">from his own site after he had opposed the outing of SlimVirgin's true identity</del>. <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline"> This outing in turn was used as the excuse for </del>Blissyu2 <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">to be permanently </del>banned from <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Wikipedia, even though Daniel Brandt had been </del>the <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">one who had outed her</del>, and <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Blissyu2 had opposed it. Under Somey and Selina's rule, </del>the <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">site was hacked again in 2008, though whoever hacked it never said who they were. </del>Somey <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">and Selina used this time as an excuse to change the mission statement (as quoted below)</del>, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">and to garner support for the people </del>who <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">had stolen the site from its original founders, all </del>of <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">whom were banned from their own site. After </del>the original <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">founders were all banned from their own site</del>, the <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">site stabilised somewhat, though it eventually ran into problems </del>and <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">virtually closed down, with </del>the <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">only reason it still exists on that domain name now being so that the original founders cannot take over the domain name</del>. <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline"> Bar the original founders, it has now largely been replaced </del>by [[<del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">wikipediocracy</del>]]<del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">, who have continued to ban all of the original founders from their site as well</del>.</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>Wikipedia [[Review Pedia|Review]] was originally founded in November 2005, by a person calling himself Igor Alexander (this was merely a screen name), on the forum hosting site ProBoards.

After it was created, Selina, who was not an administrator of the site, hacked the site in order to ban the founder Igor Alexander based on Wikipedia administrator SlimVirgin's false claim that Igor Alexander was Amelekite who in turn was Alex Linder (in spite of evidence that the 3 were different people) [https://igoralexander.wordpress.com/tag/alex-linder/] [http://vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=23847], which SlimVirgin claimed proved that Wikipedia Review was a front for anti-Semitic activity (in spite of zero posts criticising Jews). While Amalekite is a member of the Vanguard News Network (VNN), a site that Alex Linder owns, they are clearly different people, and Igor Alexander actively opposes Alex Linder. This vicious lie by one of Wikipedia Review's greatest enemies, SlimVirgin, was designed to destroy Wikipedia Review, and it ultimately succeeded, as in late 2006 two of the founding members, Blu Aardvark and Lir, hacked the site to remove Selina by force from the site, to give it back to Blissyu2, who unfortunately was away from the computer at the time and could not get it back. Following this, Selina hacked the site further, with the help of Somey, which eventually took permanent control of the site, later banning the owner Blissyu2 from his own site after he had opposed the outing of SlimVirgin's true identity. This outing in turn was used as the excuse for Blissyu2 to be permanently banned from Wikipedia, even though Daniel Brandt had been the one who had outed her, and Blissyu2 had opposed it. Under Somey and Selina's rule, the site was hacked again in 2008, though whoever hacked it never said who they were. Somey and Selina used this time as an excuse to change the mission statement (as quoted below), and to garner support for the people who had stolen the site from its original founders, all of whom were banned from their own site. After the original founders were all banned from their own site, the site stabilised somewhat, though it eventually ran into problems and virtually closed down, with the only reason it still exists on that domain name now being so that the original founders cannot take over the domain name.

After it was created, Selina, who was not an administrator of the site, hacked the site in order to ban the founder Igor Alexander based on Wikipedia administrator SlimVirgin's false claim that Igor Alexander was Amelekite who in turn was Alex Linder (in spite of evidence that the 3 were different people) [https://igoralexander.wordpress.com/tag/alex-linder/] [http://vnnforum.com/showthread.php?t=23847], which SlimVirgin claimed proved that Wikipedia Review was a front for anti-Semitic activity (in spite of zero posts criticising Jews). While Amalekite is a member of the Vanguard News Network (VNN), a site that Alex Linder owns, they are clearly different people, and Igor Alexander actively opposes Alex Linder. This vicious lie by one of Wikipedia Review's greatest enemies, SlimVirgin, was designed to destroy Wikipedia Review, and it ultimately succeeded, as in late 2006 two of the founding members, Blu Aardvark and Lir, hacked the site to remove Selina by force from the site, to give it back to Blissyu2, who unfortunately was away from the computer at the time and could not get it back. Following this, Selina hacked the site further, with the help of Somey, which eventually took permanent control of the site, later banning the owner Blissyu2 from his own site after he had opposed the outing of SlimVirgin's true identity <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">as an MI5 agent</del>. This outing in turn was used as the excuse for Blissyu2 to be permanently banned from Wikipedia, even though Daniel Brandt had been the one who had outed her, and Blissyu2 had opposed it. Under Somey and Selina's rule, the site was hacked again in 2008, though whoever hacked it never said who they were. Somey and Selina used this time as an excuse to change the mission statement (as quoted below), and to garner support for the people who had stolen the site from its original founders, all of whom were banned from their own site. After the original founders were all banned from their own site, the site stabilised somewhat, though it eventually ran into problems and virtually closed down, with the only reason it still exists on that domain name now being so that the original founders cannot take over the domain name.
