There are severl very good articles on Wikipedia (I've even written one
myself!).
This is true, but they are slowly disappearing with the increasing
number of "administrators" like Henrik (who was still two years ago an
obscure Swedish student in Computer Science), who are TOTALLY
INCOMPETENT IN A FIELD (e.g. Henrik in Archaeology), but NEVER
HESITATE to BLOCK a competent author or DELETE a very good article,
just because they don't like it. These guys enjoy the FREE POWER they
have to CENSOR anything they want. That's all their motive. And it is
a shame ! I predict that, with these guys and the present rule
allowing an "administrator", in case of conflict, to block an author
instead of blocking an article so a compromise-redaction can be found,
WIKIPEDIA is near to the end as a useful tool!..

The trouble is knowing which ones they are! I often use it as a
quick reference just to see if I can pick up any useful reading from it but
I have never ever taken any of it as gospel without first checking
elsewhere.- Hide quoted text -

Compared to other Wikipedia articles, the one about thePhaistosdisk
is really bad. Mainly because of the following:
What is that erroneous souvenir replica doing, and the improper long
and illegible lists of signs?. Aren't they meant to take away the
focus  from the survey, and the central point, which is 'the list of
decipherment claims' to this famous riddle?
P.S. I once tried to delete them, but they turned back the next day. I
also tried to address that I've been writing a book about the riddle,
this too disappeared mysteriously.

That is because they know who you are.
You are a fanatic like Grapeus.

TYPICAL ANSWER of A SECTARIAN !..
I would like to say to Hagen what Voltaire once said : "I don't
believe a single word of your theory, but I am ready to die for you to
express it".
Mr Peter Alaca is obviously AGAINST the FREEDOM OF SPEECH, like the
present bunch of "Wiki-Administrators" who are killing WIKIPEDIA by
their SECTARISM.
By the way, are you not one of them, Peter ?..
If not, you should be nominated "honoris causa".

Apropos Voltaire : It is very dangerous to be right about things in
which important people were wrong.

EXCELLENT !.. Sometimes, Ole, you are a real genius...

I think I got your point here.
We are living dangerously, eh?
