Wikipedia is written and maintained by volunteers from all over the world, all busily contributing their knowledge, endlessly correcting, updating, improving.


Of course, no opportunity for the public to comment on this piece about Jimbo and his love of African broadband.

So now the God-king of world knowledge is in the business of toppling tyrants? With people like Kohs, Nableezy, Tarc, and that wellknown gardner SB Johnny at his disposal, he shouldn't have much difficulty. (see Tar-pit topic "Communicat behaving badly") They'll make sure items like this one for example http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/...aeda-links.html never see the light of day at WP.
