The Elimination FinalsIn the middle of a discussion about ratifying the Child Protection Policy on Wikiversity...

(04:48:02 PM) adambro: it might also be useful to discuss a bit about the situation with wikipedia. clearly this is a bigger problem there. has WP been completely blocked by some or do they just get individual pages blocked ?
(04:48:34 PM) darkcode: supposedly some universities completely block wikipedia, but I have no idea if its related to this issue
(04:49:04 PM) darkcode: i've heard that supposedly some universities block because wikipedia is horribly inaccurate
(04:49:45 PM) adambro: seems a bit daft. can't they just teach their students to not believe everything on the net? lol
Not only is it commonplace for people in academia (faculty and students alike) to routinely disbelieve anything they see on Wikipedia, even people who play in the make-believe world of WikiCulture don't actually believe that they are doing anything more than playing a puerile children's game.
That's why all that silly stuff about blocking and banning is just childish gameplay, like CBS
Survivor, where each week they vote someone off the island, or the game of musical chairs, or
American Idol. It's basically a Game of Elimination.
Note that
elimination is also the clinical term for taking a dump.
