THE BOOK

Many readers have expressed their satisfaction in reading

THE DUBIOUS DEALINGS OF AN ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIA.

People have said that this book fascinated them, and opened up their eyes about what goes on behind the pages of Wikipedia. It's an intriguing read, and details in an exciting suspenseful way the rampant admin abuse that goes on at Wikipedia. When nobody is watching admins, and they're ultimately policing themselves, it can end terribly for non-admin editors trying to be contributors.

Shortly after this book was published, Wikipedia admins banned the platform's own co-founder Larry Sanger. Sanger was attempting to solve systemic problems on the encyclopedia by creating a group called WikiProject Intellectual Diversity. It wasn't a surprise that bringing in diversity would not be tolerated, but to ban the co-founder himself from the encyclopedia he helped create was particularly bold.

Wikipedia's Co-founder Larry Sanger was banned by admin ScottishFinnishRadish, who was remarkably written about in The Dubious Dealings of an Online Encyclopedia, which was published just weeks before co-founder Sanger's ban.

The ban was symbolically like parricide. The notorious banning of Wikipedia's own co-founder added a major punctuation to the revelations of this fascinating, eye-opening, and seemingly prophetic book.

Many readers have enjoyed the suspense by TW Huston. It builds chapter by chapter, and ultimately leads to a profound confrontation that goes all the way to the top of Wikipedia. You'll learn the ins and outs of being a contributor on Wikipedia, and see the dark side narrated vividly. The paper book is the most special format and if you must have the best, get the Hardcover. It's beautiful in your collection.
