about WP
- One side effect of Wikipedia's style of operation is that certain articles have fallen under the control of a specific author, or small group of authors, who are driven by a narrow viewpoint and who abuse the complex rules of the wiki to prevent relative outsiders to introducing needed changes to the article. Since their identity is unknown, no one can really challenge their claims of expertise about a topic. They may cite books written by non-experts as authoritative, for example. Because they operate marginally within the rules of the wiki and may be well-known in the community because highly active, they are nearly impossible to defeat. Although this unethical but allowed "trolling" activity only occurs on a relatively small percentage of articles, it does mean that certain important topics are relatively biased and open debate is suppressed by, for example, immediately archiving dissenting remarks left on the article's Talk page, making it seem to readers as though there is no disagreement. This does not occur on Citizendium, where article Talk pages are not supposed to be archived except due to length or to remove abusive content.
Interwiki abbreviations

Lead author template examples
Ten examples of the Authors or Contribs template:
AUTHORS: 1 name
Authors [about]:
join in to develop this article! |
Note that '1' yields "and another author"; anything else (such as a 'y') yields "and other authors".
- {{Authors|Pat Palmer}}
- {{Authors|Pat Palmer|others=1}}
- {{Authors|Pat Palmer|others=y}}
AUTHORS: multiple names
Authors [about]:
join in to develop this article! |
Let's see how the first one below looks (see right).
- {{Authors|Pat Palmer1|Pat Palmer2|Pat Palmer3}}
- {{Authors|Pat Palmer1|Pat Palmer2|Pat Palmer3|Pat Palmer4|others=1}}
- {{Authors|Pat Palmer1|Pat Palmer2|Pat Palmer3|Pat Palmer4|others=y}}
CONTRIBS: invisible unless at least 5 contributors
Contributors [about]:
CZ is an open collaboration. Please join these people in developing this article! |
And how let's see how the Contribs template looks (with 5+ names does).
- {{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer}}
- {{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer}}
- {{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|others=1}}
- {{Contribs|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer|others=y}}
