I was so moved by Wikipedia's stand on 1-18-2012, to pose a "dark-out" for the protection of our last free frontier...the Internet! I had to become a member for the first time in my internet experience. As I do believe it is important to have a "committee" that replicates "consumer protection"...there has to be a line drawn where the consumer must take more responsibility to ensure their own safety and investigate a products' quality and company/manufactures' integrity. There is no excuse, today, for the consumer to blame anyone else for their negative experience with an on-line purchase. With all the "product-opinion" forums available, it should become a secondary process prior to a purchase or agreement, to check three (3) separate critiques before a transaction is complete. If there were such an "internet committee", it would have to be chaired by community selection/vote. It would look something like this: "Wikipedia is a Participating Member in the Consumer-Advocates-Anonymous Program". (haahaa-for lack of a better phrase) This participation would require a review process where a consumer created committee reviews the products for quality, integrity and 'truth-to-claim'. In this "Product-Analysis" forum there should be a third-party oversight committee. It is a fact that there will always be crooks, who operate though the socio-accepted routes of "Tricks of the Trade"...it's the small print on a document, or the fingers of one hand crossed behind the back while the other hand shakes on an agreement. Why have small print? Why have "warnings"? Why not have a group that disallows such "business as usual"? An umbrella...under which whoever is a member has been scrutinized and accepted as "real and true" to its claim. Until then...Wikipedia...a day does not go by I don't access your information. I love your existence and respect all the research and documentation available at the click of a mouse. And when I made a search yesterday (1/18/12) to be greeted with a "dark" page standing for my own freedom to explore or purchase on the internet I was so proud. Proud to know "we" the people...can demand that birth-right...freedom of choice! Join me in joining the millions of others who will not stand for censorship of our freewill. Thanks again, Wikipedia, for standing so tall! me
