How hard is it to re-post this on Wikipedia?

Perhaps if different, unique Freepers posted this each day for a month or two, Wikipedia might get the hint.

That particular article only allows people who have had accounts for at least four days, with at least 10 previous edits in other articles, to edit it. I had created several new accounts to wait out the four day wait, but they got banned before the four day period was up. But that doesn’t mean others can’t try.

Wikipedia doesn't work that way, which is why the stuff was removed in the first place. You are not supposed to simply edit an entry that other editors have made without discussing it on the talk page for the entry first. If you don't do it through the proper channels, the article gets reverted back to the way it was.

Now, that is how it is supposed to work, in theory. In practice, if you do go through the proper channels, it is going to be hard to get any edits that leftists don't like approved, because lefties dominate among the wikipedia editors.
