Protestors and Hackers Target Wikipedia Byline
Staff of 24 7 News www.247News.Net 12/20/04 Join our
eMail list http://www.247news.net/freeupdates.shtml Users of Wikipedia are
probably scratching their heads, there’s been thousands of changes to main
Wikipedia pages by hackers and protest groups recently. If you click on a
current article at the front door of www.Wikipedia.org
you will probably see a ‘graffiti’ remark at the top of the page saying
something like WIKI SUCKS go to www.WikiSucks.com
or READY TO DIE NUKES ARE NEAR see www.StopNukes.com Here are some archived pages I’m referring
to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=George_W._Bush&diff=8642494&oldid=8642454 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=George_W._Bush&diff=8626420&oldid=8626140
There are also many more
slogans going around the top of pages at Wikipedia. Some see this recent action
as the death knoll for Wikipedia.org since it is taking up a ton of volunteer
time to try to stop this protest editing. Wikipedia has a policy of
‘Open Editing by ANYONE’ that is the problem. Some who have edited Wikipedia
have had their IP Address put into pages and that is a no no, since a hacker
could hurt you if he knows your IP address. Wikipedia’s answer is “well a user
can ‘join’ wiki and hide their IP address”. So the owner of Wikipedia is making
people join his site if they want to edit the pages, if you don’t ‘join’ then
your private IP address info will be exposed. Many people who have found
fault with the concept of Wikipedia have been using open proxies to edit
‘protest’ pages into Wikipedia. Wiki editors consider such posting behind
proxies to not be a valid post. So thousand of pages with edits from anonymous
users are being deleted as soon as they appear, well it takes a few minutes to
hours depending on what was edited by an anonymous user. You can track the dramatic
increase on the Wiki Block List, it shows that a huge increase in proxy blocking is going on. A large amount of the
blocking is due to protest pages being put up by fans of Sollog (see www.Sollog.com) Sollog is a modern day
Nostradamus and the founder of a religious movement named TOH an acronym for
Temple Of ‘Hayah (www.TempleOfHayah.com)
Fans of Sollog don’t like
the Wikipedia page that is filled of blatant lies and at best can only be
described as a vicious personal attack on Sollog due to his religious beliefs.
A handful of wiki editors have been erasing any relevant Sollog info posted by
his fans and insist on putting information about a 20 year old DUI as a major
bit of Sollog info. I guess if you compared the Sollog page to anything in a
real encyclopedia you would laugh at the slanderous article that Wiki has
created to harass and defame Sollog. I’ve never seen anything even close to it
in an encyclopedia. In fact, Fans of Sollog have
formed a group and started the web site
www.WikiSucks.com The group even has a
contest for best Wiki Edit and for who can edit the most pages on one IP at
Wiki. The group also puts out information on how you obtain programs for open
proxy surfing to hide your Identity. The site notes that Wikipedia.org was not
on-line today for an extended period of time, perhaps to a DoS attack. Since Wikipedia started
attacking TOH and Sollog, there have been two court orders issued to Wikipedia
to remove the offending pages. Wikipedia has refused to remove the slanderous
pages and there is being formed a class action against Wikipedia on behalf of
TOH members around the world. TOH has also been linking
directly to the FBI and Florida State Attorney General sites so their members
can file civil right complaints that Wikipedia and it’s owner Jimmy ‘Jimbo’
Wales is harassing Sollog and all TOH members due to their religious beliefs.
http://www.templeofhayah.com/flago.shtml The concept of an ‘open’
encyclopedia might have been a noble idea, but the reality is Wikipedia is
being used to harass and defame someone over religion, that means the days of
Wikipedia as an ‘open’ project are numbered. Sollog stated today, the he is set
on suing Wikipedia for libel. He said, “Wikipedia will have to explain why they
allowed false information to remain in their article even after many members of
TOH phoned him personally to remove the offending material.” Jim Wales signed the death
warrant for the open editing policy of Wikipedia when he chose to let his
members harass and defame Sollog and TOH. So it’s only a matter of time now
before a court in the US tells Wikipedia to remove the Sollog page. Eventually
the only solution for Wales will be to close down the open editing part of
Wikipedia, the Sollog attack article proves Wikipedia and Jim Wales isn’t ready
to run such a project without outright bias. Some interesting facts about
Wikipedia, the owner Jim Wales admits Wikipedia is financed by his earnings
from Bomis.com a sex search engine and
Wale’s has admitted the selling of sex images is what finances Wikipedia the
‘new encyclopedia’ on his own site. Is this the type of person who should be in
charge of an ‘open’ encyclopedia project? You can view the huge
increase in IP Blocking that Wikipedia has under taken since they started
saying false things about Sollog. Massive banning of IP addresses due to people
saying positive things about Sollog shows there is no ‘open’ editing at
Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Ipblocklist The truth about Wikipedia is
a handful of ‘mods’ who decide the slant they want to put on an article choose
what they want to say and what they want the article to say about a person or
topic. If you decide to edit the page then you will eventually get banned and
called all kinds of names for putting what you think is correct material about
any topic into Wikipedia. Each day thousands of pages are edited back to what a
few people that really control Wikipedia want. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Recentchanges&hideminor=0&hideliu=0&hidebots=1&limit=50&days=7&limit=500 There’s thousands of web
pages on the Net declaring ‘Wikipedia Sucks’ the most vocal is a new site www.WikiSucks.com The site even has a contest now seeing what
person has created the best edited wiki page. The Sollog article might be
a classic case of this contest. There are now over a
thousand edits of the Wikipedia Sollog page at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Sollog&action=history&limit=500&offset=0
The slanderous Sollog Wiki
page is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sollog
The Sollog Wiki Discussion
page is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sollog
There has been over 1000
edits to the Sollog Discussion Page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk:Sollog&action=history&limit=500&offset=0
Here are some of the more
popular Wikipedia Sucks sites http://homepage.univie.ac.at/horst.prillinger/blog/archives/2004/06/000623.html http://slashdot.org/articles/04/11/16/1319242.shtml?tid=95&tid=1 What does the former editor
of the prestigious Encyclopedia think about Wikipedia? http://www.techcentralstation.com/111504A.html Why is there so much
interest in Sollog on the Net? Sollog put exact information
about 911 into the public domain well before that tragedy happened. Here is one
of the warnings about how a MAJOR EMERGENCY would hit Washington DC on 911.
Three years to the exact date of that warning 911 occurred. Here s a time-stamped 911
warning from Sollog archived by Google. Here is an article in Der
Spiegel the largest paper in Germany about Sollog and his 911 warnings. http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzkultur/0,1518,157197,00.html
Sollog warned of a March 11th
Terrorism attack, it was fulfilled when the March 11th Madrid
Massacre occurred. Last year Sollog warned a
killer quake would hit on Xmas day 2003, around 9PM EST the great Bam Iran
Quake hit and 50,000 died. Staff |
