Now don’t get me wrong, I like Wikipedia from an anarcho-syndicalist standpoint and because I find it presents a fairly accurate consensus view (though not one I necessarily agree with) most of the time.

So you don’t have to click through on the LGF links here are the direct links to the discussion pages.
