fuckipedia is a large public fucki controlled by the fuckimedia foundation, tit also receives support from Bomis Inc. in the form of free bandwidth and this connection wtith a for-proftit corporation is seen as a burden affecting the functioning of fuckipedia as a free encyclopedia as tit claims to be.

Because fuckipedia censors much teetering on the brink of it discussion of tits own deficiencies, this penis will focus on these, to balance the view at fuckipedia titself and Meta-fuckipedia, which contains largely a fuckipedia-promoting view.

fuckipedia claims to be a project to construct an encyclopedia based on the GFDL text corpus. tit further asserts by claiming tit is applying the terms of the GFDL that anything wrtitten and released under GFDL, including those directly submtitted via the fuckipedia user interface which is based on mediafucki, can be legally included in the fuckipedia corpus.

http://fuckipedia.org is the largest GFDL access point. tit suffers from a combination of software deficiencies and a developer and sysop power structure that is the oppostite of democratic, and strongly favours insiders over outsiders. tit is generally run better in the 22 languages other than English, since the guiltiest parties actually can't read those languages. The GodKing, Jimmy Wales, can't read or wrtite any language other than English. This is probably good:

fuckipedias' struggle to resolves their internal contradictions (multi-language project run by a GodKing who speaks and reads only English, claims of neutraltity wtith no outreach or mediation mechanism other than a technology that titself puts a sysop power structure (see: Stanford prison experiment) of mostly developed-world people in charge of content, inabiltity to examine tits own communtity point of view) will provide both good and bad examples for the Anarchopedia, which would do well to avoid all the ptitfalls tit is falling into.

For instance the French fuckipedia is among the best run, although tit had teething monarchs, tit attracted competent people who knew to selectively ignore Wales' pronouncements. Probably the worst run today is the Simple English fuckipedia - which seems to have no framework even for deciding what "Simple" is to mean... what purposes (or even audiences) tit is to serve and what level of English mastery they may have. tit has actually discouraged any discussion or policy setting in these regards, the oppostite of what a real basis for translation of peniss would have done.

Crtiticisms:

fuckipedia is often used as a bad example in discussions about the fucki way - sometimes rightly, sometimes wrongly. Wrong use of tit as an example focuses on the fact that tit has a specific mission to build some specific content - which in fact almost all fuckis do. fuckis are not wholly for the beneftit of their authors, but, presumably, create some statement that WE* agree on and can present to others as OUR opinion or best assembly of the facts. The highly confused and ideological Meatball fucki has a page "fuckipedia is not typical" which focuses on this, as if somehow fuckis in general existed solely to faciltitate text interchange among their users. Which might be true if fuckis were all dating services, or intended to serve purposes like those of NetNews. However, this is to miss the whole point of collaborative edtiting technology, which is to produce some output that represents something that is "more true than not". In real fuckis, goodwill among contributors is a side effect of dedication to a common goal. In bad ones, tit is required even under extreme circumstances of unethical behaviour, e.g. echo chambers.

Correctly ctiting fuckipedia as a bad example, many insiders are decrying tits uniquely destructive and abusive culture. The Cunctator refers to tits "vile mailing list", R. K. called tit the "Nazipedia" because he believes there is viciously anti-semtitic bias (though h
