Wikipedia is coming up plenty these days - and the issue is very serious, more serious than I was aware. I discovered how serious it was the past two months, when I decided to dedicate to fixing one page that was so far outside of a neutral POV that I was offended by just reading it. So I decided to do some research and join the discussion and create a ‘reasoned’ argument for changes to the page using proper wiki etiquette and WP guidelines. What happened? Within days there was a movement to get me banned, 5 attempts in all for any infraction that could be thrown my way. The 5th attempt worked and I have been banned from Wikipedia for life. I faced public outing of my identity, harassing statements, defamatory and derogatory public bullying. The issue facing Wikipedia is truly shilling, but not the paid shilling that recent news regarding the PR issue with Wikipedia, but any agenda based editor group can completely game the system and control a page. I thought my case was unique at first, but it’s happening far to frequently. This issue needs attention. It’s wrong what’s happening on Wikipedia.
