Like almost every other web-based community (Active Worlds, IRC, SecondLife), Wikipedia is a dictatorship with power in the few over the many. See this for the whole story. I hate wiktators (wiki+dictator).
Is Wikipedia a wikiality?
Wikipedia may very well be a "consensorship". The term "consensorship" may have very well been first used
by Wikipedian user Cyan
(since a Google
search comes up with very few hits and all the others are newer). The term is a
combination of "consensus" and "censorship". See Wikipedia's consensus policy.
Wikipedia consensorship deleted Eep (after 7 deletion nominations,
now just an obscure 3-letter acronym EEP) but, thankfully, Wiktionary
has seen the light: eep.
This was removed by an anonymous user on System 7 (Macintosh) (after it was added onto by another anonymous user)--so much for the result of the 7th deletion nomination to merge the info! I reformatted it so it
looks like a conversation instead and added it to WikiMac.
