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 [[English Wikiversity]], where I am active, and where I have been [[sysop]] a number of times. Because [[:Category:Wikiversity|Wikiversity]] allows, and allows subpages in mainspace, and implements neutrality inclusively instead of exclusively, there is little content conflict on Wikiversity, and [[:Category:Education|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).
And so it goes. My home wiki was [[English Wikiversity]], active for a long time, and where I had been [[sysop]] a number of times. Because [[:Category:Wikiversity|Wikiversity]] allows, and allows subpages in mainspace, and implements neutrality inclusively instead of exclusively, there is little content conflict on Wikiversity, and [[:Category:Education|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).
 
However, I am currently indefinitely blocked on Wikiversity. I am recovering all content that was abruptly deleted out-of-process, but I had previously stopped creating educational resources on Wikiversity, having concluded it was not a safe place to work. That proved to be accurate. I'm in the process of documenting what happened. I have a new wiki, being used to hold deleted Wikiversity content (hundreds of pages), [http://coldfusioncommunity.net/w/index.php?title=Main_Page coldfusioncommunity], in addition to a blog, [http://coldfusioncommunity.net], where what I'm finding in my research is published. It's quite a mess.
 
The description above on Wikiversity is no longer true. A bureaucrat has unilaterally declared that "fringe science" cannot be studied without prior approval of a review board that never existed.
