i dont know what your problem really is with your linux distribution in wikipedia but its clearly not the fault of wikipedia that you violated their trademark. if you have your own linux distribution and call it debian, their laywers will eat you for breakfest. trademarks are important, even for "non-profit" organisations. you could use all the articles in wikipedia to build your own wiki, without any problem but you mustnt steal their registered trademark. and thats at least one part of intellectual property thats worth keeping. NO organisation will allow you to steal their trademark and its simply bullshit, that you compare wikipedia to microsoft because of that.

This is easy to answer raynevandunem.
First of all any time a form of media makes something biased by removing certain people's rights to post things or become one sided they brain wash everyone by not providing both sides of the sorry. Many will argue that the media is liberal and not in favor of Republicans. I don't see it that way. I think that Republicans just make it easier for the media to attack them because they always respond to most everything while the democrats don't seem too eager to respond until they have thought about it or they give an indirect response and don't actually answer the question. Some times thats the smart thing to do.
As far as damage you can also do damage by not letting any small fish say anything. Look at sites like digg.com. Even if it does not catch on it does get out there. Everyone gets a fair chance.
So a Wiki can do damage depending on how open it is. All wiki's should be free and open.
