Wikipedia Listing for David Chase, ‘Sopranos’ Creator, Gets Whacked
By Michael Santo
Executive Editor, RealTechNews
Not satisfied with whacking the HBO website, someone decided he needed to let his feelings be known at David Chase’s wikipedia listing.
It’s no secret that “Sopranos” have not been happy with the ending of the TV series and it appears that at least some anger has hit the creator’s Wikipedia entry. The first sentence of the listing this morning read “David Chase (…) is a homosexual American television writer, director and producer.” Source: TG Daily
We Say: Just so you know, he’s married, OK? And, even if you’re angry about the ending … get over it! It’s a TV show!

..and who cares if he is homosexual. unless one is unsecure in one’s own sexuality ofcourse.

“Up to 9 months ago we financially contributed funds to Wikipedia but no more, for we thought that it was a good idea and where its thinking was in unison with our own at that time - using knowledge for the good of humankind. When we as novices tried to place our Swiss charity within Wikipedia we were absolutely savaged by the editors. They in fact blocked our right of reply, which is documented by themselves.
Thereafter we even sent our registration documents via email to the then executive director of Wikimedia, the holding organization, to prove that our international group was registered as a Swiss charity. He did nothing at all. A few months later he resigned with another top Wikimedia executive, ‘Jimbo’s second in command. The greatest problem with Wikipedia that we now find is that they are highly selective in who should place information and where therefore they will never really have a web-based encyclopaedia that is unbiased and totally factual. It is ultimately at the whims of the few enlightened ones who control what should be a great reference. Unfortunately we now see that it is not.
For anyone interested further on how Wikipedia editors work, the full account including all emails will be part of our next web newsletter ‘Scientific Discovery’. It will be on-line by the end of July 2007. Overall, it is time we feel that Wikipedia looked internally at itself and that they concluded that they have major problems with the way they treat new entrants. This analysis should especially be directed towards the attitude of their editors, who remove the right of reply and delete super-quick for reasons not based on evidence but only hearsay. By the way also, the Wikipedian Editor Zoe who first blocked us and the initial instigator of all the basic trouble, fell out with ‘Jimbo’ and where she as well left a few months later. Apparently she had made a vendetta against a certain professor according to ‘Jimbo’s’ opinion. Thereafter she took her bat and ball home and has never been seen since. I believe she also threatened the embattled professor at the time.”

i really hope Tony Soprano doesnt die. I know he can be a handfull, but the sopranos isnt the sopranos without Tony. Can u imagine sil or pauly being boss?? i couldnt. Tony Sopranos role makes a heavy impact with the show. I realy do hope he doesnt die and i hope Mr chase re thinks and brings back The Sopranos. People can say its just a tv series, but it isnt, it becomes apart of your life and family. I sit twiddling my thumbs without the sopranos. I think ive become depressed. oh well a toast to the whole soprano cast SALUTE!! x
