Danny Wool and Brad Patrick have resigned.
I thank Somey for the heads up.

This representatives the first and real death throw for Wikipedia.
As I and many others have stated - Wikipedia ain't gonna be around for much longer.
If one is seeking a real encyclopedia, then one needs to find an encyclopedia which is edited by professionals, where accountablity is a reality.
Where "editors" do not commit slander and libel and are then applauded by the management of such organization for doing so.

Yes - we can now also witness many "sockpuppets" beginning to disappear.
How many sockpuppets and meatpuppets did Wool and Patrick have?

Lastly, Wool if you are ever seeking a job in Israel - don't!
That ain't a threat.
It's a fact.
Ya just don't hurt innocent people and walk away.

The soon to be released The Wikipedia Contest just may prove to be the knock out punch to these resignations.

In the meantime - please pass the Champange

AND TO WIKIPEDIA REVIEW AND ITS MEMBERS - KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB!
See you at Larry Sanger's Citizendium!

Just an aside.
I know that Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently protested the deletion of the Israel News Agency and other Israeli sites while Wikipedia maintained and protected several Islamic propaganda sites. Just another bullet in the gun that forced Wool and Patrick out of Wikipedia.

Two top employees of the Wikimedia Foundation have resigned, citing disagreements with the board. Both publicly tendered their resignations to the community yesterday on a foundation mailing list, but say their resignations are unrelated and the timing coincidental.
