Wikipedia is vulnerable to factional editing and administration. It is not a violation of policy. It can be difficult to detect, it takes research and objective analysis to do this. And that takes a lot of time, and nobody has the time. If someone does the research -- I did -- the community will assume that someone who is crazy enough to put in that much time and effort *must be* a POV-pusher.

And so it goes. My home wiki is now http://en.wikiversity.org, where I am active, and where I have been sysop a number of times. Because Wikiversity allows original research, and allows subpages in mainspace, and implements neutrality inclusively instead of exclusively, there is little content conflict on Wikiversity, and educational resources may be developed there with high depth, while maintaining overall neutrality (if the maintainers of the resource care to make it so, and we know how to do it).
