I believe this has something to do with the use of Wikipedia (by Goethean (T-C-L-K-R-D) and one or two others) to advertise local microbreweries in the Chicagoland area.

There are numerous legitimate reasons to oppose the use of Wikipedia for this purpose, not least of which is that beer consumption contributes to the nationwide obesity epidemic, as well as increases in drunk-driving-related fatalities.

Are microbreweries in other cities/states as well-represented on Wikipedia as the ones Goathead personally frequents in Chicago/Illinois? It appears so: There's a state-by-state category, and I see that Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, Oregon (that's where Tedder (T-C-L-K-R-D) is from), Texas, and Pennsylvania are all far more well-represented than Illinois. (Maybe someone should check Goathead's contribs, though, since he might not be adding the appropriate categories to articles on his personal favorite microbreweries.)

Meanwhile, Iowa has only one microbrewery in its category, Millstream Brewing (T-H-L-K-D), located in the Amana Colonies (T-H-L-K-D). What a gyp! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/hrmph.gif)

So, I guess I can't agree that this is something to be seriously concerned about, but to call it something other than "advertising" actually is a bit disingenuous, IMO.
