Well, that didn't take long. Despite playing Wikipedia's consensorship games, and contributing GREATLY to it, I still get the boot based on Wikipedia's far-too-anal "civility" policy (more like be a good little lemming and do not dare dissent from the "appeal to majority" fallacy). Typical--online oppression is dispensed FAR too easily.

Like almost every other web-based community (Active Worlds, IRC, SecondLife), Wikipedia is a dictatorship with power in the few over the many. See this for the whole story. I hate wiktators (wiki+dictator).

Is Wikipedia a wiktality?

Wikipedia may very well be a "consensorship". The term "consensorship" may have very well been first used by Wikipedian user Cyan (since a Google search comes up with very few hits and all the others are newer). The term is a combination of "consensus" and "censorship". See Wikipedia's consensus policy.

Wikipedia consensorship deleted Eep (after 7 deletion nominations, now just an obscure 3-letter acronym EEP) but, thankfully, Wiktionary has seen the light: eep.

This was removed by an anonymous user on System 7 (Macintosh) (after it was added onto by another anonymous user)--so much for the result of the 7th deletion nomination to merge the info! I reformatted it so it looks like a conversation instead and added it to WikiMac.
