Angry Black People Not Welcome at Wikipedia?

The Wikipedia gestapo have struck again. Some idiot named “Acalamari,” who is a big Christina Aguilera and Star Trek fan, believes that “having race and an extreme emotion in one username … is likely to cause problems.”

Shortly after signing up for Wikipedia ABW found her name the subject of an extensive discussion. Read all about it in her post “the people over on Wikipedia is crazy, yo.” I hope that Acalamari’s activities on Wikipedia will henceforth be thoroughly scrutinized by concerned citizens.

This companion blog to www.rightreading.com explores the full gamut of print and electronic publication, from conception, research, and editing through design, typesetting, and image preparation, through paper, print, and pixel on to marketing and sales. It seeks to integrate the editorial and design functions, which too seldom communicate effectively. Books, authors, translation, and reviewing are also covered.
