Meanwhile I'm having a running battle with some idiots on the Wikipedia Web 2.0 page. One or more of these clowns keeps deleting any and all references to my websites and articles. Now I know what Dave Winer feels like when he criticizes Wikipedia. It's a great resource, but just like anything - a few idiots always end up ruining it for the rest of us.

I'm sure your edits are in good faith, but it might be wise to back off for a bit. If you want to contribute to the article, list your sources. Let other editors choose whether or not to use stuff you've written as a source.

The thing that annoyed me is that my stuff was on that page from the very beginning, yet one or more people keeps deleting it... and leaving other blog stuff on there. Is that fair? No it isn't. However I'm going to try avoid visiting that Wikipedia page again and I'm not going to cite it as an authoritative source any more.

May just be me being a sour puss, but hey...

Adam Curry et al.
