The wiki trend pushed by wikipedia is becoming entangled in pretense and duplicity. It attempts to avoid advertising but sucks in enough volume to dominate the search engines in promotion of itself. Movie details that mirror imdb are listed. Magazines, companies, video games and tv shows fill the pages. Nerds wanted to create a vacuum to exchange trivia and ended up attempting to become the schoolyard bullies by keeping the popular and hip away from the popular site. Something is no longer exclusive when it becomes this massive. If wikipedia would like to rid itself of anything that resembles advertising it will have to delete most of it's "articles" and become a legitimate forum by giving up it's search engine dominance. There are hundreds of nerd forums that most people aren't aware of that take place every year. So do the nerds want to be popular or not? It is not for the few to decide what is worthwhile information and what idea's are worth exchanging. Wikipedia is on the internet, people don't leave the internet to find wikipedia. Stop the pretense and judgment. All knowledge is power.
