"“It is more than just a mob now. It is a mob in the sense that there is real internal political authority being wielded and no regularised fair, democratic way of determining who should have that authority. The arbitration committee elections are a joke. You cannot know, announce, reveal the identities of the most of administrators on Wikipedia… you don’t know who those people are and if you don’t know, there is no accountability. It is a self-contained system. If it just so happened that one of the leading administrators on Wikipedia is a convicted paedophile, sitting in prison right now, in some prison where they let prisoners use the internet, that does not make any difference because there is no way of finding that out. That bothers me. That does not make it a mob. What makes it a mob is the combination of lack of a fair democratic process of determining who those in charge would be and lack of a fair application of rules, there is no rule of law in Wikipedia. They try to make it look like there is since they keep citing these alphabets soup of acronyms which is short for policies, but the way in which these policies are applied is arbitrary”."

““The bias that they now reflect, is that of the Globalist Left. Of the Establishment, with a capital E”.”

“Suppose that, as is perfectly possible, Wikipedia continues producing articles at a rate of 1,000 per month. In seven years, it would have 84,000 articles.”

“Wikipedia will be small, disreputable, and unimportant compared to CZ in a few more years. Uh, ;-)”

“I can't tell you what the cause of the bias on wikipdia is, I can only tell you that its really obvious now it used to be quite obvious like even 10 years ago it was already pretty obvious 10 years ago, now it's just embarrassing... Now there is an official view about pretty much everything...”

“I know Wikipedia is very cool. A lot of people do not think so, but of course they are wrong.”

“I actually think that the mechanisms just of people acting like jerks and driving off decent people who want a neutral reference, that's enough to explain the bias”
