By the pricking of my thumbs/Something wiki this way comes…”

The tinkering with my wiki page continues. The page was nominated for deletion after I made blog posts about – guess what? –  wiki manipulation, the Wall-Street- media nexus, social media attacks, my co-author’s company…

(I am eliminating this reference, since I’ve decided to put this whole business behind me)

In any case, to return to this petty saga: the page was nominated.

Then, after it became clear that the page would NOT be deleted, a new tack started

– delete the Getabstract award page, thereby reducing my claim to notability…

Why is the Getabstract award not notable? Because wiki says so…

Circular reasoning?

Was the Getabstract company informed about this? I don’t think so.

Now,  would it be unreasonable to infer from all this that wiki – an international source- can easily be manipulated in favor of US parochial interests?

And US news? and US viewpoints?

And if so, is it any surprise that Wall Street robbed the public under the very noses of the much vaunted US free media…and not a soul peeped up about it, except a very few voices in the alternative press – just that press that has been declared unilaterally non-notable…

What were the ‘notable ones’ doing at that time?

Trading favors, prizes, links, recommendations, bonuses, bribes…and probably wikis!

Here’s the notice.

and here’s the latest comment at the bottom of that page.

Comment – I have put GetAbstract International Book Award up for deletion. I’m putting the notice here as that article is one of the significant anchors for this article being notable. –

No slur intended against individual editors. They might each have their own honorable motives…

Can you see, though, that in order to get visibility, you need a platform..in order to get the platform, you need visibility…if you have enough money, you can often get both..and then use that money and influence to determine how visible anyone else can be.
