Wikipedia

Anyone else notice that Wikipedia has a list of the most popular, unproven conspiracy theories, but that Wiki took down their page on proven conspiracies?

Why would they take down a page of proven historical facts?

Here's a link to the deletion descusion from 2006. Under wikipedia's rules all recreations of the page would be deleted without discussion.

"Also, I feel that the list was created to provide some support for conspiracy theorists. Finally, the examples given in the list are very POV as an aggregate, because they come almost entirely from the US and reflect very badly on that country. GabrielF 02:20, 17 December 2006 (UTC)"

I guess that covers it. Don't give support to conspiracy theorists with a list of conspiracies proven to be true by the theorists themselves. And don't make the U.S. look bad for conspiring all the damn time.

A couple people were for keeping the list, but just cleaning it up and making sure everything was properly sourced.

Thanks for this!

fuck wikipedia, i just brought it back

Gee what a surprise more censorship!
