I think your change got edited back, at least the gap in the background section is still there.

I left a comment in the discussion section. The wikipedia folks remind me of the “Galactic Encyclopedia” noted in Samuel Delaney’s great double novella “Empire Star” and “Babel-17″. In the story the galactic encyclopedia was also more interested in the accuracy and art of citation than the accuracy of their articles.

I have edited the Wikipedia article!
It may get edited back; you may think I haven’t changed enough, but you can change it. This, of course, is why Wikipedia is completely useless for any but the most incontroversial of facts, but you can fight it!

Hi,

The most killing isolation is that of we-the-citizens from our most needy family. Let’s stop it.

Bless you for your concern for Darfur. Join us and we-the-citizens will stop the Genocide. No one else can. No one else will.
Several of us have decided to begin a RESCUE DARFUR FAST. One of us began 5 days ago, and several others today. Links below for the details.
Nothing less than a worldwide fast-until-the-genocide-stops will be enough to stop it.
Nothing less will be a sufficient moral response.
Nothing less will preserve our humanity, yours and mine.
