Deleted from Wikipedia--G. Edward Griffin!
http://www.dailypaul.com/node/39638
I've just spent an hour reviewing the (voluminous) deletion history (link below) of G. Edward Griffin's Wikipedia entry.
Six (6) different editors entered a "Delete"...ON THE SAME DAY !
These were not ordinary persons - 2 of them are Administrators, and 4 others are either admittedly trying to become admins, or else have achieved a higher 'Editor' status, with extra powers.
One of them performed 4,000 edits in the past 12 days - that person must spend every waking hour on Wiki !!
It is truly amazing the extent that certain specially self-anointed busybodies on that site go to, to extinguish 'unsavory' items, particularly since the very same people not only allow, but personally espouse unsupported &/or radical ideas themselves on their own pages.
The major repeated claim against against Griffins' continued entry on Wikipedia is :
-that he is "not notable FOR ANYTHING",
-that there is no 3rd party verification source.
-that he is a conspiracy theorist.
Griffin is someone who has several books on Amazon,
has an IMDB listing, produced numerous films dating back to the '60s,
& a comprehensive website with copious amounts of well-edited & researched data.
His videos/audios (on the topic of the Federal Reserve & banking) have superb narrative & are very clearly & thoroughly laid out -
At once easy to absorb for those new to the topic, and yet still incisive & comprehensive enough for those well-versed in the subject.
I have ZERO Idea how to 'work' Wikipedia, but surely some on this forum do - if you haven't yet, please spend several minutes watching just one of his youtube videos - and if you agree, please make an effort to restore his Wiki entry.
If it is not already clear, he is a supporter of Dr. Paul, and his analyses provided in his videos are a great entry point for those who are seeking to learn more details about the financial subjects Dr. Paul often references.
This is really, truly, an outrage.....
