And if only Hitler had been a 3rd rate painter instead of a 4th rate painter —
Well, then, all would be forgiven.
Well, in that case he could maybe make a carreer as a mediocre painter, instead of the first class [insert your prefered cussword here] he became. To quote Nero, "what a mediocre artist the world lost!"...
Is Wikipedia a collection of 4th rate pictures, or an holocaust in which knowledge, good will, and decency - among others - are being "genocided"? Or perhaps the later, ornamented with the former?

If we had Wikipedia in the twenties of the XX Century, would Hitler be Hitler? Or would he waste his youth making up half baked articles, and them owning them against all opposition?
Think of it, perhaps Wikipedia is saving the world, by turning potential first-class criminals into petty page vandalizers. Who knows?
