Jimmy Wales has no editorial power now (if he says the sky is blue, 100 people will immediately compile a referenced list of all the times it’s green) and he didn’t then either. The people killing and merging Pokemon were pathological all by themselves. The media has a strange idea of how Wikipedia works, but it’s actually completely wrong.
I was in the thick of that one (blocking a pile of the Overstock.com sockpuppet army), and I think it wouldn’t because spammers and paid editors are much less accepted. It also has absolutely no link to your original assertion. Do you have anything that actually supports that?

Do you think that something like the naked short selling fiasco wouldn’t repeat today the same way?
