The Counter-argument section about campaigners who eventually prevailed would do well to mention a key factor in their success: almost none of them acted alone. Behind every successful campaign for social reform was an organization. Wikipedia purposely discourages the type of communication that would be essential to any organization campaigning for reform; see Wikipedia:Canvassing. The person who doesn't like something on Wikipedia is at a severe disadvantage with respect to finding and organizing like-minded editors, and any attempt to organize in this fashion would itself be considered subversive. Imagine how far Dr. Martin Luther King might have got if he hadn't been allowed to find and organize people who agree with him. --Teratornis (talk) 00:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
