 Wikimedia meta blacklist. People in Italy are suffering from the

What does this mean? I hope you mean that people using the Italian version
of Wikipedia are blocked from LENR-CANR.org. Not that anyone in Italy is
having problems. The block only works within Wikipedia, right?

Wikipedia is hopeless in any case.

The message I posted in the Wikipedia talk section, Surrealistic discussion
of LENR-CANR.org and Jed Rothwell garnered a couple of responses, but then
everything was erased this morning, not surprisingly.

Terry sez:

 Piki?

I must confess that I use Wiki (Oink-Oink-Piki!) a lot. It's a quik
invaluable informational resource for NON CONTROVERSIAL subjects.

It should be obvious to anyone by now that relying on Wiki for
information on issues possessing a modicum of controversy is
indicative of lazy ignorance.

What's the status of Knol? Last I herd it wasn't fairing too well.

I suppose it would be fair to inform you that I have been aware for a few

I have been investigating this situation somewhat, but not entirely, 
quietly and would like to continue in that mode until my investigation is 
complete.


I think that is about all I want to say on this right now.

The ol' man in the Dime Box Saloon is worth listening to. He says here:

I have found that Citizendium was born as an offshoot of Wikipedia for many 
of the exact reasons that we are aware of, with regard to Wikipedia's faults.

Yes, it can, but anyone who thinks it's a fake can easily check the validity
with the purported author, so I think such an email would go a long way toward
silencing your critics.

Actually, in many cases I do not have written permission per se, but the
authors sent me the papers and said go ahead and upload them. I could not
have gotten many of the papers otherwise, except by scanning them, which is
very tedious. You might say the paper itself constitutues permission.

I have blanket permission for several of the ICCF conferences, from the
conference organizers. For ICCF-14 (the most recent) the organizers told me
it is okay with them but I should ask each author individually. That is
easy, because I am the editor and all papers are coming to me anyway, so I
know the author's latest e-mail address.

Anyway, the argument is kind of ridiculous because the Internet has millions
of documents, photos and videos that may or may not violate copyright,
depending on who you ask. I consulted with one of the top copyright law
firms in Georgia (pro bono I am glad to say!), and they told me that since:
I am not selling these papers; the papers appear to have little or no
financial value; and I am clearly using them for academic purposes,
therefore I am not in violation of copyright.

Note that I have thousands of other papers, including 1,200 scanned ones,
that I cannot get permission to upload, and I have not uploaded them. They
are listed in the LENR-CANR database. Most are unimportant but there 50 or
so that I would love to upload. I told that to Petri Krohn.
