Persistent criticism

Hi, I've noticed your persistent edits trying to publicize your opinion about Wikipedia. While I understand your perspective, your edits are being reverted primarily because of their tone, which is aggressive and defamatory. You can say anything you like on the talk pages, found by clicking the discussion tab, such as Wikipedia talk:Replies to common objections, and I assure you no one will delete content you place there.

Also, the issues you discuss are already addressed in this article, so to answer your complaints there would introduce redundancy. See these sections:

Our argument is essentially that, although certainly our editors are less qualified than the editors of other works, our open process helps to make up for that by allowing many contributors to cooperate. Although errors are not always quickly fixed, we never advised anyone to trust Wikipedia unconditionally — no resource should be trusted by itself. A good researcher trusts only information corroborated by multiple reliable sources.

Also, it is a rule that editors should cite sources so that the information we supply can be verified, and although this rule is not followed often enough, there are active projects to check facts and add citations. For an example, take a look at my article on the complexity class SL.

I hope this mitigates some of your concerns. Deco 19:37, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
