    Wikipedia is great as a technical resource. Doesn't have such a great reputation on political/social issues for the very reasons above.
    You have to be careful in using it as a technical resource. I am a technical editor in my professional field; I correct what authors write (sometimes not until the 2nd, 3rd or tenth edition of the book) and make sure of the correctness of the content.

    I have corrected blatant errors in Wikipedia only to have my changes reversed because "so-and-so says this in their book" and my changes, even when covered by evidential discourse in the Talk page, are rubbished. I have been told by administrator editors that "Wikipedia is not about what is correct: it is about what has appeared in a (valid) publication." On one occasion, they didn't care that two statements on the same page in Wikipedia proved that at least one statement was incorrect: they both appeared in print, therefore were acceptable.

    Re: Wikipedia and definition of antifeminist

    There were two men who came up with wikipedia in the beginning; but one wanted to let only real professionals enter data, and the other wanted everyone to be able to. The second man created wikipedia, but what did the former guy make? I used to know this. Any help as to what it is?

    It does seem very rough and ready in these areas and far from accurate.. Matt O connor of f4j was famously recorded in there as being the gay father of 10 sons..
    I started out an optimist, but nothing turned out right..
    Then I became a pessimist, but thats a life of shite..
    I sucked at being a realist, 'cos folks will always fight..
    So now I'm saying "fuck this shit!" I'd rather sleep at night!!

    More sickening is that most feminist organisations' funding comes from the taxpayer .. the majority of whom are the very males that feminism hurts most.

    Right... but this entry deletion wasn't an edit - the changes Douglas made have been wiped from existence. Meaning, an admin or moderator (or similar high-level access) has made the changes.

    Changes by ordinary folk, like you or I, are reflected in a change-log.. the change-log doesn't reflect Douglas' edits, so they've been erased completely - so no one can ever click on the changes he made and see them... they simply don't exist.

    This means someone high up the ranks on Wikipedia is abusing their access to ensure a more level-headed detail cannot be given on the anti-feminist page at wikipedia.
    Probably a liberal, since the majority of media are liberals and probably will be feminist. Antifeminism is a growing movement and a threat to their system, so they will do what it takes. Someone may have come alone and disputed the changes too. Perhaps try to write it again and see what happens?

    Re: Wikipedia and definition of antifeminist

    Feminists adopt similar tactics to Marxist guerrillas in demonizing it's enemy. Whenever the opposition returns fire after being fired upon first, they cowardly run into the households of the general population, which they previously found contemptible, and say "see, do you see how they attack us comrade."

    As the true nature of feminism becomes increasingly unraveled by an informed population, so in turn comes a more desperate reliance on agitprop and controlling definitions/language within the media.

    Making a clear discernment between women generally who constitute the majority, and feminists who are a numerical anomaly, is not only imperative in conveying to the uninformed, but makes it easier to isolate and eradicate the pathogen more efficiently.

    I guess my equal revulsion at male feminists must make me a misandrist?

    The internet has been a lifeboat for men's opposition to the floodings of feminism.
