*nod*. I've witnessed several such efforts, from an editor who denied and suppressed references to blobs in Linux, even after being given hard evidence of it, to various efforts to reject writings that referred to GNU/Linux as such (rather than just Linux), and to remove wikipedia entries for 100% free distros. It's definitely not neutral ground. > Wikipedia may have helped thwart Russian President Putin's efforts to > rewrite history while helping others rewrite history to their liking :-/ But then, despite all of its failings, Wikipedia, like democracy, sucks, though they suck less than the known alternatives. -- Alexandre Oliva, happy hacker https://FSFLA.org/blogs/lxo/ Free Software Activist GNU Toolchain Engineer Disinformation flourishes because many people care deeply about injustice but very few check the facts.
