Wikipedia is annoying

[lkermel]

I mean, I like Wikipedia but this is the attitude of the administrators/moderators that infuriates me. I had to share this with you - I think there're webmasters here that'll understand what I mean. I've seen countless times information (and even whole reviews) directly copied from my site onto Wikipedia by random contributors. That never bothered me in the past, really, I dig out all this information to share it with the community... however, at some point I thought that it'd be nice if they'd (at least) mention their sources. So, a couple of months ago, I decided to add links to the relevant reviews when applicable and I've been systematically removed by the moderators because of 'spamming'.
So I'm now in this situation where contributors freely copy content from my site to Wikipedia to beef-up their contribution score, and moderators shoot me if I happen to complain about it... Wikipedia takes a lot but doesn't seem to give anything back... Sorry, I had to share this with you - is it me of does this sound a bit unfair ?

Digital Press' entire domain was blacklisted from Wikipedia with no warning, for similar [lame] reasons.

That said, Wikipedia can be a great resource, even if I disagree with it's internal workings behind the scenes. I'm locking this thread before it goes downhill. If you still want to civilly discuss Wikipedia, make a thread in Off Topic.
