thank John for his flattering comments. It would not be a bad design to put on a rival to the Italian wikipedia, but I find it very difficult to achieve.
I want to dedicate this third place - like it or not members of the "clique" and their friends Wikipedians - the possibility 'that Wikipedia is in crisis.
course I am referring to the Italian Wikipedia, 'cause the others (especially the main English language) are in good health.
is what they write on www.Blogs4biz . the possible crisis: ".... The news of the resignation of four-system operator or sysop-Wikipedia Italy (Civvi, Cruccone, etc. ..) has rapidly around the blogosphere. The event has generated interest and comments, many of which are worthy of attention. Blogs4biz makes the situation even asking for help to Frieda Brioschi, press officer of Wikipedia and Wikimedia Italy, which throws water on the fire: the crisis is not so bad and still is physiological. The question remains: do you think Italians deserve a free encyclopedia ?..." Comment
:"...... The Italians deserve a free encyclopedia, not an attempt to. While appreciating the spirit of the free encyclopedia there are problems that limit if not prevent, development. Has' reached a breaking point between people, often from time to time, and who add valuable content, the badge of sheriff, pardon administrator, it must impose a hierarchical system and, in part, totalitarian. It attaches great importance to wikicazione pages and little content. Contents are often cut to the bone that no development. TENS OF ADMIN organize to exclude users, or quarrel between their factions. As someone exemplified elsewhere, and 'as if an article was correct Rubia dall'addetto of rotary printing stage of a book written by ....( Exithere )........."
I must add Frieda appeared in '{{User: Senpai / Crack}} removed - coincidentally - in the days when this blog to complain and' started. In addition, one of the worst members of the "clique" and 'you just Jollyroger / Sheriff bad (A non-administrator), quoted in the comment. To read later on the "strike" of directors last February, just go to:

finally bring this comment released on
http://lapulcedivoltaire.blogosfere.it/2006/01/quando-wikipedi.html , where he cites the following on a possible "SUNSET OF WIKIPEDIA:
" From: The Decline of "Wiki" ? By: Rebel Café [...] The strength and weakness of all of Wikipedia, is the ability for anyone to participate in the preparation, by posting material (almost) total anonymity, by amending, supplementing or adding terms to the encyclopedia. It might screw up this system actually costs a lot to Jimmy Wales, founder of "Wiki": John Seigenthaler, a former Assistant U.S. Presendente of John F. Kennedy, recently branded a Wikipedia entry "as involved in the murder of the President," has now decided to launch a campaign against the managers of the encyclopedia. From the pages of the site
Wikipedia Class Action, Seigenthaler and many others point the finger at the directors of the Wikimedia Foundation, guilty in their opinion that he "washed his hands" of the content present in it, simply collect the material without performing actual inspections on its veracity.
Wikipedia Class Action aims to collect the complaints of those who (individuals or firms) feels or has felt maligned by malicious articles published online encyclopedia. Also, invite anyone you find a mistake or falsehood to contact the "victims of Wiki, signaling them to turn to Wikipedia Action.Una Class Once you have collected the full-bodied dossier of reports and accusations that promises, promises that it will impose Wikipedia Class Action the foundation that runs Wikipedia, also through legal action, the end of the anonymity of content producers, in addition to money damages in favor of those who will be the victim of defamation through the articles.
In fact, the Seigenthaler case is only the latest - and perhaps the most striking - the number of cases of alleged defamation, able to undermine the reliability of Wikipedia. In this case, the article that he was defamed (believed to be unfounded in the absence of physical evidence) was removed after four months of struggle by the former assistant to JFK .[...] It is true that if in the case of public figures critical and very different interpretations on their person are predictable (think only our politicians and the services of various TG), are vastly more serious defamation and insults, disguised in the form of terms, intended to discredit the man whatever, that perhaps will never have the means to be able to rely on. And, unfortunately, would not be the first to Wiki, which has always removed delay the articles in question. It should not be overlooked that the system itself is based on which Wikipedia states that anyone can interact, sometimes doing harm, by providing false information and misleading data. Like everything else on the Web, Wiki is certainly true for the rule of "take it with pliers ".[...]
What is therefore the decline of Wiki? It is unlikely, though perhaps the system of Wikipedia, after the lawsuits on the horizon, potrebbbe emerge deeply changed. But for better or worse ?"..."
What do you think of "Italian in Wikipedia crisis"?
