Obviously the bids don't cite Wikipedia. It's not uncommon, though, for the decision maker to run a quick Google search. Now if exploitation is going to happen, Wikipedia happens to be one of the easiest platforms to exploit. Wikipedians try to manage our BLP problems, but very often we fail. Do we shrug off legitimate complaints as easily as you advise? Perhaps this is a philosophical/ethical difference. I say we look for solutions.>> ---------------------
I do not disagree that we should look for solutions. I just believe those solutions are on a case-by-case basis, and specific to the case involved, not general and sweeping.
