| Jimmy Wales does what? From the very article itself: > Others said that Wales did not have control over Wikipedia, and was only an editor like anyone else, but had been “trying to pull an authority-based argument while promoting a book”. >“I'm not sure Jimbo's plea needs to be entertained much beyond demonstrating that current consensus is something different than what he thinks it should be,” one user said. Wikipedia editors do not actually consider Jim to be an authority on the matter. They ask him to substantiate his claim that the "Gaza genocide" article is not "neutral" in voice. They don't really seem to care about what he thinks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Protection_policy The page is currently only protected until November 4th. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_administrato... Wikipedia has over 400 active accounts who can turn on article protection. They include such diverse people as current CS professors and someone who wants you to know on their page that soccer is more important than life and death, and a person who's personal page opens with a picture of their feet. In fact, the Jimbo Wales account is not currently an administrator. Jimmy could not have locked the article. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of those accounts spend more time and effort espousing wiki editing philosophy than any other topic. |
