Wikipedia is evil and must be destroyed. I've made numerous attempts to try to work with them in order to edit and correct glaring factual mistakes, as well as blatant boldface bias on various biographies of Republican officeholders from Illinois.

What I have found is Wikipedia is a complete totally filled with hate filled Marxists children, and tin pot, petty dictators drunk with power, whose concept of fairness is distorted and corrupt and with out control.

So, I am looking for advice on how to go about to diminish, destroy and neutralize Wikipedia.

Any reasonable suggestion will be taken under advisement.

For those who are pro-Wikipedia. All I have to say is this... there is nothing that you could say, do, or argue which would convinced me that Wikipedia has any merit, or good for the body politic or the Internet at large.
It is my sworn belief that Wikipedia is absolutely a cesspool of evil.

Thank you

Wikipedia is evil in a sense because its been perverted from its original good intentions, but the perversion is meant to be "for the benefit of all".

This does not mean that the vast majority of editors who contribute are evil or consciously subscribe to the intellectual abomination. I wonder if some exopedians don't continue out of a religious conviction that it will all turn out all right in the end, that these problems are temporary growth pains.

The Russian Revolution did not start out to be evil, but it was perverted and became worse than the regime it replaced. It ignored human nature and human motivations.

Wikipedia is a classic Marxist project with more than a little dose of Ayn Rand "benevolent selfishness" stirred into the mix.

Interesting. If Jimbo is WP's Vladimir I. Lenin, who's Stalin?

I think that JohnA is confusing communism with feudalism.

Frankly, I see more relics of the Tsars here than anything else, with SlimVirgin as Catherine-The-Not-So-Great.

TSAR = Totally Shirk All Responsibility

Not really. The Russian Revolution began with the Bolsheviks but was quickly co-opted to the Communism of Lenin and Bolshevism was suppressed.

I cannot stress this enough: Wikipedia is not going away any time soon

What will happen is the Wikimedia Foundation will lose any vestige of control over Wikipedia (probably for financial reasons).

What bothers me is not Wikipedia continuing on its path downwards towards autocracy, but the lack of an effective alternative to Wikipedia.

No but this page should go away.
