This time for a "revert war", regarding my handling of "disambiguation" pages. How anal can Wikipedia be about pages that are lists of links to other articles? Geez...and then I try and use their own rule (set index articles, which is on the damn disambiguation page and appears nowhere else in Wikipedia policies/guidelines besides in the Manual of Style disambiguation guideline) against them and I still get the shaft. Go figure...

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.
