In academia we do not even consider the opinion of people who cite wikipedia as a basis for their argument.

Too lazy to click through to get the cite?
No I have just found so many discrepancies on wiki through the years that I do not consider it a valid cite and many academics agree. Are you perhaps to lazy for more in depth research than picking the first hit on Google and forming your opinion based on that one source of information?
You are the one making extraordinary claims and complaining how "mainstream science" ignores them.

The burden of showing credible evidence clearly falls to you, and you have yet to show anything at all. I think you should already consider yourself lucky that some people have even deigned engage with you despite your tone and your general conspiracy theorist attitude.

I do not consider myself lucky to be engaged by people who do "quick Google" searches or cite Wikipedia as sources to base their arguments on.
Hmm, if you are so high and above most of us, why not contribute to the mankind and actually improve that wiki page with some cold hard facts in academic fashion? If you actually know them of course
All: please resist the temptation to engage in this intellectually dreadful floundering.
