Nothing to do with wikipedia review (in fact they deleted the
wikipedia review article). Site conntians a mixture of
deleted/temporelerly deleted articles (we are seriously going to have
to talk to them about the GFDL) and articles attacking various
wikipedia policies and a few wikipediains.

The critism articles show a reasonable but incomplete knowlage of
wikipedia and wikipedia events (the cut off point appears to be around
the new year). The writing style is lighthearted.

It contians maybe 50 articles.

It seems to follow the standard model of beliveing there is a cabal.
It picks up on the problems of people talking in wikispeak.
