Conclusions for Members and Readers of this Article.
If you are thinking of putting your information on Wikipedia, think twice before you do it.
For once it is there you cannot remove it even in the event that others tell lies about you.
Remember that when you sign up to Wikipedia that you are signing your rights away to withdraw your information as a few of the emails from Wikipedia clearly state.
Wikipedia is a draconian system of order where anyone can add or delete your identity, thus causing slanderous accusations to be made, as was the case of this institution.
You are trapped once you are in and cannot get out.
Wikipedia is a bad long-term project for long-term truth, for those who control the editing, could literally rewrite history itself and where over time Germany won the First and Second World Wars in theory. As electronic publishing continually takes over from paper publications, this possibility becomes more realistic by the year. It is like the American film of recent times where the US came across the first enigma machine and broke the codes single-handedly. We all know from reliable sources that this was never so, but where Wikipedia could certainly help such misinformation to become fact.
The system of attack by Wikipedia Editors et al is like a lynching mob in the old Wild West. The comments that are made for deletion by these people are not a balanced view whatsoever and where even anarchy seems to be a simple way to describe things. Indeed, they tend to act as a mob and back each other up. Those in Wikipedia who know better, keep quite it appears, for there are hardly any condescending comments about their fellow Wikipedians.
The information on Wikipedia can be viewed as suspect and where peer reviews are not used. Therefore false statements can become a generality and abuse a normality over many years.
Universities and educational institutions are now seeing the problems with citing Wikipedia information and were some are now not allowing students to use it in their examinations or even course work.
Conclusion:
Overall be totally aware of what you are letting yourselves in for if you use Wikipedia for reference purposes, and where if you are victimised, as you may very well be as a new member, you will regret ever entering the world of Wikipedia.
As a long-term appeal, the WIF would like to hear from all who have been abused and have had bad experiences with Wikipedia.
