Why the Wikipedia page about Pacifica Forum is so inaccurate

Eugene X, February 20th, 2010


The Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacifica_forum was begun in May 2009 by an editor with the login Stonemason89. I started contributing corrections, but eventually was banned on 3rd January 2010. Rather than muttering 'Ziopedia', I appealed the ban. After much discussion, I agreed to follow all the rules, but I am still banned indefinitely as of 20th February.

Stonemason89 did exactly what he or she accuses me of - namely repasting one's own version of the page over someone else's - but Stonemason89 got away with it. He or she didn't even keep my correction of the name of the President of the University of Oregon, just wrote all over my careful corrections. I refused to accept the Zionist term 'Holocaust Denier' for people who merely underestimate the widely-accepted figure.

"You're not going to get very far attempting to whitewash Holocaust deniers, so you may as well give up on that completely. (Read the archives at Talk:Holocaust denial and you'll see this is a long-settled policy on Wikipedia.)"

I still don't think it's a conspiracy, but I think Wikipedia entries are easily hijacked by dishonest people.

On a related topic, if you search for 'Pacifica Forum' in Google, this site appears on page 36 of the results, as of February 20th. The inaccurate Wikipedia page is at the top of page 1. However, in yahoo.com and bing.com, pacificaforum.org appears where it should, at the top of the first page. Some people would see the discrepancy as some kind of conspiracy on Google's part, but it's just the way their search engine works.
