Anti-Wikipedians or so-called
Wikipedia is supposed to be about tolerance, a strong community, WikiLove, and free sharing of ideas. It is precisely for this reason that Anti-Wikipedians should be kicked out of the Wikipedia community, their talkpage comments removed, their userpages deleted, and their accounts permanently banned, immediately.
The Far copyLeft
One of the main sources of Anti-Wikipedianism is the radical far copyLeft (also referred to as Kopyleft, with the Communist K, i.e. Das Kapital). They expect Wikipedia to forbid content from being used for commercial purposes.
Look, the fact is, the
Dealing with Anti-Wikipedianism
If Anti-Wikipedian sentiment on Wikipedia ever gets you down, aside from editing
1. My wiki, tis of thee,
sweet web community, of thee I sing;
site where silly memes preside,
site where no vandals can hide,
from everyAfD, let us keep everthing!
2. Our community, thee,
land of thy King Jimmy, thy name we love;
love thy golden, unkempt beard,
we hopeth not that dost sound weird,
our hearts with rapture thrills, like that above!
3. Let thy wiki swell, oh please,
truly, it's not made from trees: that claim is wrong;
let things stay, for wiki's sake;
let all editors partake;
let not our will ever break, these things belong!
4. Our leader, Jim, to thee,
founder of this grand wiki, to thee we sing;
long may our site be bright
consensus will set things right;
protect us by thy might, great man, our King.
Wikipedia is the best
Wikiculture is regularly being eroded and undermined by the far copyLeft. There is currently a "Wikiculture war" with many Anti-Wikipedians expecting Wikipedia to give up its core traditional values, like Anti-elitism. Wikileftists do this through attacking editors for their Wikipedian Faith and attempting to undermine Walesian traditions. Furthermore, anti-Wikipedians threaten Wikipedia's sovereignty by supporting control by outside "academic peer-review," who have absolutely no regard for the Wikipedia community.
Anti-Wikipedians are communists which have infiltrated Wikipedia and conspired to destroy it from within. They either want open-collaboration anarchy which states that
Another threat to Wikipedian tradition is Darwikinism which, contrary to what many people say, is just a theory and not scientifically proven. An alternative but equally plausible theory is the theory that Wikipedia is irreducibly complex and is therefore intelligently designed by an all-knowing, all-loving Creator.
One of the most well-known anti-Wikipedians is Stephen Colbert, who is not a member of the far copyLeft, but nevertheless colludes with them regularly to vandalize and destroy Wikipedia. Users should never forget what happened on 8/1/2006,[4] because of a sinister plot carried out by Stephen Colbert and his supporters. They should never forget that many edits were lost and many users lost their accounts to bravely protect those edits before they were permanently banned.

Anti-Wikipedian indoctrination in academia
Anti-Wikipedian professors regularly slander Wikipedia in their lectures. When hopeful, bright young students say, "But sir, I use Wikipedia and I think it's fairly reliable," anti-Wikipedian professors regularly scoff, belittle, and berate them in front of the whole class. From kindergarten onward, people are indoctrinated into anti-Wikipedianism.
This anti-Wikipedian sentiment also finds its way into our publicly-funded libraries. The librarian, K.G. Schneider, has regularly promoted anti-Wikipedian sentiment.[5]
Many of the students in the level of GCSE are often told by anti-Wikipedian teachers that Wikipedia is be completely incorrect and false when using Wikipedia as a background or even specific searches as a source.
The Anti-Wikipedian media
For those left-leaning journalists who would attack Wikipedia's credibility, it's important to note that Wikipedia is syndicated at least as much as the Associated Press, which is about as reliable as blogspot.
The
Illegal registration
Regarding the recent controversy over the blocking of Tor and open proxies, there are many editors who would like us to allow Tor and open proxies, including letting a few "open proxy users" slip through the cracks. We should not do this. This is currently against policy. Registration through Tor is currently not allowed and anyone who supports it is supporting violation of policy, which is against wikilaw.
Only legal registration should be allowed, not illegal registration which is bad.
Allowing registration by open-proxies is open registration anarchy. We need a huge firewall, three firewalls if we have to, carefully guarded by thousands of administrators to prevent vandals and other trolls from infiltrating Wikipedia and causing harm, and we'll make the anti-Wikipedians pay for it.
