I just wanted to bring to your attention. I was involved in that wiki war on the Sheldrake article and have compiled a personal case study on the abuses you mention.

Wikipedia is a hornet’s nest, but failing to act as an uncritical promotional platform for fringe beliefs isn’t one of its sins.

Perhaps we should start by acknowledging that ‘neutral’ is an aribtrary point between other arbitrary points.

Instead of fighting to change wikipedia, wikipedia content could be mirrored, on another site and altered by a team which inspires trust and states its biases.

Another solution is this wikipedia plugin which overlays wikipedia with dissenting opinions from the crowd. http://www.wikipediaplus.org/wiki/Main_Page
