Mr. Suede has added and cited accurate Austrian predictions, discussing the boom and bust of the housing market, on the "Austrian business cycle theory" Wikipedia page. Only to have his contribution redacted while said redaction being upheld by a corrupt and biased Wikipedia staff.

Discuss.

1) Typical Wikipedia (see the page on Anarchism for another example).
2) Its easy to cherry pick 'prophets' out after the fact.

I thought you rage quit this board and possibly life too?  It was nice not having these pointless threads around here.

There's always "Conservapedia". They are unlikely to censor the page on Austrian economics.

Accept the fact that Wikipedia is biased and presents only the mainstream (even if factually incorrect) view of things
or
change Wikipedia (good luck!).

The Government has a team of people who's job it is to monitor and edit the Wiki as needed to control information dissemination.
