Re: Wikipedia is at it again

And MUD communities aren't? Your arguments against MUDs in general on Wiki are odd indeed. As if you were the author against these entries. Much of wikipedia IS diverse, unimportant, and has no significance on NUMBERS in terms of relevance. It is completely subjective based on the whims of the people who run oversight there and who post the entries. Why are you defending Wiki? It's like one of Bill Gates' lackeys defending Windows as the best operating system.

Let's talk about an example. Wasn't hard to find one, try looking up Kdice. An online 7 player game (not even a MMOG. It has a donation system, it had less than 50 players on playing at time of this post. It has an amature website, chat like forums, is very obscure and has unverified claims as to its references. Tell me the nitch where this game came from or the iconic history.

It is simple. Wiki's own history is a plethora of subjective opinions and nearly all entries that have to do with commercial enterprises are started and referenced by the people who own or have stake in the company. Don't take my word for it, you can find the best information on wikipedia here:
