Really PEEJ is way off track there. They just dislike wikipedia because paedophiles are not vilified on site and hung drawn and quartered.
Yes, I realize the Perverted Justice people are twisted in their own way.
Still, given that the subject is such a political white-hot potato, Wikimedia
would be smart to publicly, loudly distance themselves from the whole
subject.
Yet the more I read about how Wikimedia "operates", the less
public responsibility (and the more secrecy and paranoia) I see.Since late 2006, that place literally runs more like the Skull and
Bones Club than like an educational nonprofit.
Read their "code of conduct".
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct_PolicyVery vague, no specifics, no institutional policy or system for
review of allegations of misconduct. Most college fraternities
have better-written documents!
Anyone remember the Quarto?
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Wikimedia_QuartoIt would be a valuable public-outreach organ.
Why did they quietly stop publishing it in 2005?
I see no evidence they have taken a public stand against illegal
pedophilic activity (or any other illegal activity), after looking thru
wikimedia.org.
Search on "pedophile" or even "controversy". Nothing. Just the usual
self-congratulatory and uninformative press releases.
Nothing in the resolutions section.
I mean, read WP's
own article about NAMBLA.A responsible NPO would run screaming away from any such controversy.
(None of this would relate to Don Murphy, except that he DID bring it up on
hiw own forum...)
