But it&#8217;s not quite the kind of cult that most of its detractors allege.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, that didn&#8217;t take so long to resolve. A day after Jimbo asks Essjay to resign his positions of trust within the community, Essjay has quit. I suppose the situation is mostly resolved now. However, I&#8217;m still worried by a lack of contrition from Essjay right up to the very end. He never really apologized [...]]]></description>

Jimbo Wales, founder of Wikipedia and resident God-king of the English Wikipedia, has asked Essjay to resign. Here&#8217;s the text of his statement: I have blanked my entire talk page to make sure this statement gets adequate [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The on-wiki fallout over the Essjay scandal is just beginning. It&#8217;s only about a day old, but already it is rapidly turning into a forest fire. It first started on Essjay&#8217;s talk page, with a large number of people expressing disappointment (and some expressing support). Then it spread over onto the Community Noticeboard, with a [...]]]></description>

He claimed to have been a 40-something professor of theology, but it turned out in the end that was he was a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I won&#8217;t mince words. Conservapedia sucks. I find the whole idea of a separate encyclopedia based on a narrow viewpoint revolting. If the facts don&#8217;t back up all of your positions, maybe you should change your positions, rather than going off to build your own parallel universe (including your own encyclopedias!) where bias rules?
