QUOTE(Moulton @ Thu 21st February 2008, 1:41pm)  So, when you turn the Wikipedia Story into a movie, I'd suggest a Noir Comic Opera, along the lines of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Just so long as I, or my brother Alan, get to direct the feature film. |

It's about time for Godwin's Corollary: Any mention of the name Hitler, even when appropriate, in an Internet discussion thread will inevitably result in someone invoking Godwin's Law. |

Very good point. However, when an organization or person adheres to philosophies of a monster (Hitler), then they should be compared, as comparison to anything. Wikipedia is a dictatorship, just as any dictatorship, such as Mussolini, or Stalin. When propaganda is spread for the sole purpose of harming others for profit or personal gain, disgusing this as "Fact" this is facist. Wikipedia does not share or put forth an "Opinion" but publishes its slime as "Fact". When only one side of an issue is regarded as "Real" and any further discussion is neutralized by the power that publishes it, well, need to study some poli-sci.... Also, I abide by no self made law, for a self made law is now close to the philosophy this "Godwin" is criticising. This hampers free speech and that is a guaranteed right in this country, at least for now. I abide by fair laws initated by the people and for the purpose of freedom.

A well-crafted story cannot succeed by bludgeoning the audience. Stories have to be artfully crafted to amuse and enlighten without being overbearing and banal.

If it is crafted and manipulated, then it is a "Story" and not truth. |

Fiction is a great scam. You get to tell the truth while pretending to lie. (See, for example, the novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky.)

QUOTE(Moulton @ Fri 22nd February 2008, 1:39pm) Fiction is a great scam. You get to tell the truth while pretending to lie. (See, for example, the novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky.) Deceit is deceit. Again, back to our situation, Wikipedia has not only lied about us, and proported an opinion or agenda as fact, but others too, many others. Wikipedia IS a good idea, if it was not used as an agenda tool. This is like the historical "Blacklist" with the communists back in the 50's. This is the same tactics that Wikipedia uses. I blame not just the agenda based editors, that are only contributors NOT editors in the "Real" world, but we blame Wikipedia for not mediating these stitations properly. On our company, we are listed in many publication, published, and reputable. To be included in Wikipedia, this is the requirement. "Verifiable" sources. I have listed them time and again. The rebuttal I always get is "Show us the link from the old company to your company". First, this is the same company, no old or new. This has been published in public publications, NOT paid for adverstsing. These are verified sources, but Wikipedia refuses to recognize these. They want to see confidential information. This we will not show. Since we will not reveal this, the "Wiki" world will continue to bash us. That is where the extortive intent comes in. I will also give you another example of "Bias". It is an example of Gaumont Studios, please read this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaumont_Film_Company.... yes, this article claims Gaumont as "The oldest running film company in the world. " I want you to see how many "Verifiable" sources are listed in this article that was published on Wikipedia without question? ONE source, a footnote in a book. Please explain this? Yet, we have over 10 published, and verifiable sources submitted to Wikipedia, and all ignored. Our credidabilty torn with scrutiny, trying to find any flaw in detail to discredit us, and over 50+ ctiations "Trying" to prove we are not who we say we are. Why is this? There is an agenda. This is not my own opinion, but evidence of facts. Biased and agenda based. This cannot be expained. There you have it, I have explained again. this has NOTHING to do with our PR promotions, the studio, the digital camera on the moon (Which is legitimate), this has to do with Biograph being Biograph, and our company being torn to shreads by a group that want to see us, and I QUOTE "It is all the better, it makes them look ridiculous" and confessed to IN WRITING, the intention to harm our reputation as a company.

Then again, JK Rowling is more of a page-turner than Fyodor Dostoevsky.
