I don't normally spend a lot of time on stuff outside my own little corner of the internet, but this hits close enough to my own involvement in the community that I can't leave it be.

Aristotle, I think you're getting a really bad rap from these WP admins. There's very clearly an agenda on Mendaliv's part and I find it quite disturbing that the justifications he's giving about TMC, TMS, Game Commandos, Bartle, and Koster all being unreliable sources is something they all find valid. I don't think it's at all paranoid or conspiratorial to think that they'll begin engaging in a wider campaign to purge MUDs in general from Wikipedia and nothing the admins who posted here have said has convinced me they won't.
