Freedom, Democracy, Wikipedia

Imagine you browse the web, make a research, you want to find out which tools in the world are out there that you can use for example;

I give this example because what you are about to read is shocking.

I myself used to trust Wikipedia a lot, I used it commonly to do some R&D, lookup info and white papers etc. But today I realized that Wikipedia actually is censoring information with excuses like "not verifiable information" or even "trolling". mhmmm, that make me really think hard.

Let me explain a bit in detail: everyone who knows me, or gridplusplus, or ++Technologies knows that we are the real deal. So invited by the "Come on to Wikipedia, edit, and post information, help us make wikipedia a accurate source for eveyone" slogan I actually went on and found a list of Rapid Application Development tools and Cross-Platform IDE on the wikipedia and I added to the list our product XPower++, which is in fact already used by more than 5000 users, and it is a good tool that people can use to create apps and games.

After two days I noticed that my entrance was deleted, I thought it maybe got deleted because I did it anonymously, so I singed up for an account and added it again.

So far so good right? Ehhh, wrong the user HAMMERSOFT, started to explain that I am doing something wrong and deleted again my one line of info, to make it clearer, here is the link to the list of tools on wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rapid_application_development_tools#Cross-platform_RAD_tools

and this is what I added

"XPower++ a cross-platform Rapid Application Development IDE for creating solutions for Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, and Mobile systems"

just under XVT, so it supposed to be a encyclopedia for everyone, and everyone has the right to be informed and to know about whats out there right.

Well, I am not going to explain to you about how stupid and racist I think this is. So where is the Freedom here, where is the Democracy here I ask.

"Jimmy Wales" sorry but your vision about wiki does not work man! Cannot believe that I even donated 100 bucks to wiki :(

Also here is the profile of the user HAMMER(DROPPED ON HIS HEAD)SOFT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hammersoft

and it looks like he has been bugging a lot of people (he is even a certified idiot), so I leave it up to you, do you really trust a source that is withholding/censoring the truth, and has admin's/users like hammer brains here.

Please don't get me wrong, being on Wiki or not is actually no big deal to me, but I find it insulting and sad at the same time that it is being censored, and who knows maybe hammerbrains gets even paid for that >>>Conspiracy Theory<<<

Everyone has the right to be informed, and wiki was wrong by deleting a true and verifiable information.

sorry, wiki you used to be my trusted source of information. :(

Take care you all :)
