Just wanted to point everyones attention to a slashdot story about wikipedia censorship, it's at http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/04/16/1656208
What the hell is wikitruth.info anyway, I've never heard of it? It's currently offline (slashdotted) so I can't check. And who are these disgruntled administrators? Is it some sort of wikipedia review splinter?

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.
