\"\"<\/p>\n

In this carefully researched article,\u00a0Richard Gale<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Dr. Gary Null<\/strong>\u00a0underscore the inadequacies of Wikipedia as a reliable source of information and knowledge. The\u00a0free encyclopedia is created, edited and verified by an army of online volunteers whose\u00a0credibility and integrity are unknowable, even\u00a0questionable.<\/p>\n

The supposed separate entries for the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG), Global Research (globalresearch.ca) and its editor-in-chief, Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, have been merged into a\u00a0single Wikipedia item<\/a>, which consists of unwarranted smears, unfounded claims and disputable accusations.<\/p>\n

Such efforts by the largest reference website, consulted by\u00a0billions of people worldwide<\/a>, are supportive of the Establishment\u2019s global agenda, which aims to discredit dissenting yet highly-knowledgeable and qualified scholars and activists\u00a0(\u201ccharacter assassination\u201d) and push their contributions and endeavors\u00a0to the margins. This, in effect, denies their\u00a0vision<\/a>\u00a0to share knowledge that \u201cfully represents human diversity.\u201d See Michel Chossudovsky\u2019s\u00a0biographical note here.<\/a><\/p>\n

What Is the Solution to \u201cthe Wikipedia Problem\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wikipedia is the largest and most read reference source in the world. Billions rely on it every day for unbiased facts and truthful information. Unfortunately, what they often get are slander and lies. This poses an existential threat to society, because lies and slander corrode the fabric of society and harm all of its citizens, no less than they harm the ones who are lied about and slandered.<\/p>\n

If Wikipedia were a marginal website with little influence, it could be regarded as harmless, just as you might regard it as harmless to be bumped by a toddler on a tricycle traveling at a snail\u2019s pace \u2013 but not if you were run down by a pizza delivery boy on an electric bicycle travelling at 30 mph…<\/p>\n
