Note that there are two questions in this poll. One about critics of Wikipedia, and the other about critics of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Note that "foremost" could be described as the "most famous person" who criticizes Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation. Or, "foremost" could be described as the "most dedicated critic", regardless of fame. Or, it could easily be described as the "most effective or influential critic". How you choose is up to you.

The voting will remain open until the end of Sunday, April 3, 2001.

Only 14 people have voted? This site must be dying.


It's over 30 people now. Maybe the others missed the cut off date for voting? Luckily, I have a handy time machine. (I voted for you)

Everyone gets two votes so only half as many people have voted as you think.

The trouble with this poll is that few people here know about the extremely eminent people who have complained to the WMF and Jimbo personally, and who voice their complaints to their peers. By some criteria they are far foremore (sic) than anyone listed here, but as they have not gone onto the Internet with their views, they are 9as far as the average WR| punter knows) non-existent.

Nor is there any way to vote in one half and abstain in the other, as there was in the Dick of Distinction poll. Of course, HK is a dab hand at designing survey questionnaires.

Do tell, Detective! Or, are you just speculating? "Extremely eminent"? That sounds like maybe someone high up in government, like Dr. Charles Gutteridge or someone like that?
