Wikipedia stänger av scientologerna

Wikipedia stänger av scientologerna. De får inte lämna bidrag till Wikipedia.

Yahoo berättar:

User-generated encyclopaedia site Wikipedia has formally banned the Church of Scientology from accessing and editing its pages.

A committee of eleven site arbiters voted on Thursday to block all IP addresses connected to the church and ban multiple accounts believed to be used by church members as well as critics of the religion.

“Each side wishes the articles within this topic to reflect their point of view and have resorted to battlefield editing tactics, with edits being abruptly reverted without any attempt to incorporate what is good, to maintain their preferred status quo,” the committee said in its decision.

Wikipedia ska också ge administratörer mer befogenhet att ha ökad kontroll över inlägg som har anknytning till scientologerna och scientologin.

Yahoo berättar att medlemmar i scientologerna misstänkt för att manipulera med medlemsinloggningar och att flera tecknat sig för flera konton.

Här är sidan med information om scientologerna i den engelsk-språkiga Wikipedian, där det bland annat berättas:

Scientology is legally recognized as a tax-exempt religion in the United States^[16] and other countries,^[5][17][18] and the Church of Scientology emphasizes this as proof that it is a “bona fide religion.” Even so, Scientology has been widely criticized as a cult that financially defrauds and abuses its members.^[19][20][21] The Church of Scientology has also been accused of harassing its critics,^{[22][23][24][25][26][27]} and has consistently used litigation against them.^[28][29][30]
