Wikipedia skeptics recently blocked Pierre Carbonnelle, which is an
outrage. One of them told me that I have been blocked from editing,
which is unimportant. Anyway, it seems he was bluffing, because I was
able to post a message there. Maybe it is erased?
Anyway, that's not important, but someone told me that the skeptics
have arranged to automatically delete any link in any Wikipedia
article to any paper or web page screen at LENR-CANR.org. They claim
I am uploading papers without permission. That's a shame, and it is
more serious than blocking me. Now, nobody can put any links to any
papers at LENR-CANR.org.
Here is part of a message from a supporter to me:

Subject: Blacklisting of lenr-canr.org on Wikipedia
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 21:01:16 +0200
As you may have noticed, your site http://lenr-canr.org has been
added to Wikipedia's blacklist of SPAM sites. I believe this is
missuse of the spam blacklisting process to enforce a narrow point-of-view.
Part of the related discussion is here:

I am not asking you to take part in the discussion, in fact it might
be better it you
avoided it completely.
One of the accusations against you and your site has been that it
hosts material in violation of the publishers copyright, i.e. it is
in wiki terms "copyvio". I believe the
claim is bogus, but we need more proof. Could you elaborate on why
you believe you have the right to host these publications.

I told Krohn I was unaware of this, but not surprised. The skeptics
are incorrigible!
