Post 147375 by Nevin deleted for the following reason: This seems a tiny bit on the thin or "newsfiltery" side to be honest, being a single news article. There's a couple open Isis threads, this would work fine as a comment in any of those. -- goodnewsfortheinsane

the oligarchy of Wikipedia
Post 147272 by minhrootloop deleted for the following reason: This article very strongly focuses on the "comprised / composed" guy, and as such I'm afraid will just become more of a repeat of this already open thread on that topic.
