I already have looked at the Sollog wikipedia article, and I commented
on it later.
All in all, the "wikipedia sucks" site is a hate site, in which some
aspects of Jimbo's Bomis site that I had not been aware of
have been highlighted, together with a lot of hysteria about
a 10 million dollar fine (that seems to have no legal validity
at all).
There seems to be nothing we can do about it, either, unless some
mediation for this guy can somehow be arranged. (Are there any alternate ideas?)
If some had been arranged for this fellow earlier, this anti-wikipedia
site MAY have been avoided.
On-the-spot mediation/arbitration is something that could also be applied
for other edit wars, for which the 3R rule is not a solution.

Some interesting popups appear when you leave the site which
perhaps indicate what its worth.
Its claim that "There are now thousands of pages if you search
for 'wikipedia sucks' in any search engine." is wrong - the
supplied does a google search for pages with the words wikipedia
or sucks, which not surprisingly does yield thousands of results.
But a search for the phrase brings out 149 instead. And whats all
this about Sollog, the Temple of 'Hayah, and a $10 million fine
for
"religious hate crimes"? Bizarre! However, I do feel compelled to
ask : who are those cute young friends on the yacht with Jimbo?
As noone seems to have answered this to any degree of satisfaction
(except for the answer about the babe), I recommend that Arno check
out [[Sollog]]. That's who runs the site.
