Essjay controversy has been nominated for Featured Article, articles which are supposed to represent the best of Wikipedia. Featured Articles may appear on Wikipedia's Main Page. Is this navel gazing? Or is it important for Wikipedia to air its own dirty laundry on its front page?

He's a good guy. That speaks volumes: it tells me that, yes, Wikipedia is not only hollow at the core but it's run by a bunch of kids who confuse composing accurate articles with voting for student council president. It shouldn't be a popularity contest. Fact is, this WJBscribe character has been editing facts out of articles and has been promoting and defending fraudulent people. I doesn't matter whether he's a "good guy." He doesn't belong in a position of responsibility at an "encyclopdia."

Luckily, Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia.

They make that claim.

And North Korea claims to be a democracy.
