Wikipedia is evil and must be destroyed. I've made numerous attempts to try to work with them in order to edit and correct glaring factual mistakes, as well as blatant boldface bias on various biographies of Republican officeholders from Illinois.

What I have found is Wikipedia is a complete totally filled with hate filled Marxists children, and tin pot, petty dictators drunk with power, whose concept of fairness is distorted and corrupt and with out control.

So, I am looking for advice on how to go about to diminish, destroy and neutralize Wikipedia.

Any reasonable suggestion will be taken under advisement.

For those who are pro-Wikipedia. All I have to say is this... there is nothing that you could say, do, or argue which would convinced me that Wikipedia has any merit, or good for the body politic or the Internet at large.
It is my sworn belief that Wikipedia is absolutely a cesspool of evil.

Thank you

Destroying Wikipedia would probably be remarkably simple, if one was interested in doing such a thing. Simply distribute a virus/worm that, at random but regular intervals: 1) replicates itself through the usual mechanisms; 2) creates an account; 3) uploads a very large, non-copyvio image of limited usefulness; 4) using this account, makes reversions (not nonsense edits) to a small number of pages listed in "recent changes"; and 5) leaves notes on one or more admin's pages alleging "vandalism" or some such by the previous editors on those pages.

Such a virus, even if well-throttled, would be an effective DDOS attack on the system of Wikipedia.

One could be more selective, and program a virus to revert only the edits of major contributors (perhaps only those who the virus author decided were assholes, administrators, or the equivalent), in conjnction with the above. Imagine, a series of edits relentlessly reverting everything (e.g.) SlimVirgin did, without her being able to pin a 3RR on it? Every page of interest would become "protected", and editing would effectively cease.

Even better, a well-throttled Wikipedia-targeted virus would have minimal impact on most people's computers, so it would probably last quite a while before becoming discovered and eliminated.

It's astonishing that no one has done it.
