[WikiEN-l] Antiwikipedia site - are there any solutions?

Mon Mar 7 06:35:40 UTC 2005

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.
