Hi NSK,

why exactly do you discussion on Wikipedia-L if you think Wikipedia is
so wrong?

Anyways, I want to corret an factual error in your rant

>In contrast, it my opinion that Wikipedia.org is collectivistic
>since does not accept signed articles,

They are implictly signed via the article history.

>author bios,

Ever heard of [[User:NSK]] pages? Here everybody can put a bio, list all
his/her contributions and so on. Isn't that an author bio?

>different licenses,

Nobody hinders one to state on ones user-page that every contribution of
that user is dual-licenced, as long as the second-licence is compatible
to GFDL.

Not so many. The only one I can think of often happens to behave
somewhat trollish.
