[Taxacom] IRMNG update

[Stephen Thorpe]

The problem with what you are doing John is that there is little to bring people to your site. Instead, many people will look first to Wikipedia, not realizing that it is a battleground of territorial mobs and fragile egos who have the power to block even entire countries from editing WP, without being accountable to anyone, except for a handful of "sensitive IP addresses" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_IP_addresses#Sensitive_IP_addresses) involving the US, Canadian or UK governments, or major corporations like Microsoft who might be able to win a lawsuit!

 With such
 Wikipedia headaches why would anyone bother to put up with
 such aggravations? I'm so glad I decided to make my own
 page for my group where I am an absolute dictator when it
 comes to content and no one to complain or plot against me

 Yes,
 well, Wikipedia is up to you. For my trouble commenting on
 Wikipedia about this issue, one of the insidious little WP
 misanthropes (Kevin) has filed a sockpuppet investigation
 against me (https://en.wikipedia.org/
 wiki/User_talk:SEThorpe? markasread=86768151), so I expect
 to be blocked shortly (if not already).

  For some reason, I was having problems tracking
 
  that down. Thanks. I see
 
  you commented on
 
  Wikipedia, but in this case, the homonym needs to
 
  redirect readers to Spathobatis, which already
 
  has a page.
