[Foundation-l] [WikiEN-l] Lobby takeover of wikimedia projects, particularly English wikipedia

[Dan Rosenthal]

Fearmongering. The integrity of the english wikipedia is not destroyed  
because one or two articles within a very specific genre are being  
attacked by POV pushers.

Until we have a committee for fairness and accuracy in Pokemon  
Statistics disrupting english Wikipedia, I'm pretty sure our integrity  
is safe.
