Wikipedia Article on ODP (Was Re: Wikipedia Article on XODP)

I'm not the one who removed the link. Someone else did. Take a hard
look at the logs.

"...have been totally ineffective in their attempts to remove
unflattering facts about ODP from the article"

"ODP's spin doctors are hard at work trying to censor that article and
prevent a fair and full presentation of viewpoints critical of ODP"

Since wikipedia lets anybody with a keyboard undo others' additions
and changes, no wonder you've able to call everyone else ineffective
in changing things. I'd rather call it this: Netesq has been
effective at deleting/reverting anything he doesn't agree with or
casts ODP in any sort of positive light.

I put in three damn hours reading, writing and revising that article,
adding significant content that you, being 4 years out of touch with
ODP, couldn't possibly have firsthand knowledge of. Still, you
deleted the content -- against Wikipedia policy no less. You are NOT
on the side of those who want to present a fair and full presentation
of ODP, positive or otherwise.
