It looks like the believers lost the battle to control the ClimateGate page that I talked about in this post, because now wikipedia is trying to delete the ClimateGate page altogether. Deleting a page in wikipedia means the entire page and all it's history is forever gone. The public can never view it and will never even know it existed. The plan seems to be to move the article to Climatic Research Unit e-mail_hacking incident.
Only wikipedia editors can vote on whether or not to delete an article, so if you're an editor please HURRY over to the ClimateGate article and make sure it doesn't get deleted.
Thanks. :)

The following is probably one of the few "true" statements one can find on Wikipedia:
WIKIPEDIA MAKES NO GUARANTEE OF VALIDITY
It's right at the top of:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:General_disclaimer
Who cares.
http://www.neutralpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page
has all the e-mails.
The more wikipedia censors itself the more it will lose influence. It will be a painful wakeup call for many.
Well, ClimateGate is gone. And dirkh, for better or worse, people will continue using Wikipedia after this incident.
