So Wikipedia failed to be neutral.  It has ideals of neutrality, and often meets them, but never became reliable, because of a lack of structure that would make this happen.

As a [[Wikipedian]], first editing in [[:Category:FoundedIn2005|2005]], I eventually came across an abusive [[blacklist]]ing of a website that is a library of permitted copies of published on cold fusion, [http://LENR-CANR.org LENR-CANR.org].  I confronted this entirely on process grounds, my opinion about cold fusion at that time was the standard one: fascinating discovery, announced in 1989, that was unfortunately unconfirmed.  I was wrong, very wrong, on that.  However, the [[Wikipedia Arbitration Committee]] confirmed my complaint, and then I discovered how totally useless this was.  They reprimanded the [[Sysop|administrator]], who then proceeded to retaliate in every way possible, and his friends did, as well.

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 [[:Category:Point of view|POV]]-pusher.
