    Wikipedia has not even held to its stated goal of collecting facts. They collect opinions, as long as the opinions i printed somewhere. That's why every election time they get thousands of edits on files about candidates.

    None. I donated ten bux to them, but when I realized what a crummy job they are doing, I refused to donate again. I told them why, but I am not aware of any improvement yet.

    One example: There is a science called plasma physics, properly grounded in known principles and recognized by the IEEE. Another group of scientists flatly refuse to consider their principles, so Wikipedia dismisses the entire field as "non-standard", without any investigation or even a disclaimer. 

    You wanna see how far reaching this rejection is? Here is a forum provided for people to discuss astronomy pictures published by NASA. Notice rule 15: discussion of alternative theories, the definition of science, is specifically forbidden.
