I've only contributed a few times to the Wikipedia, but intend to contribute more as I believe it is a good public resource, IF and this is a big if, certain people are not permitted to dominate the contributions and create an entirely negative slant on information about certain individuals and situations. My interest in contributing to the information provided about Bill Sizemore originates from a sense of fair play.
I own a web development business http://www.sai-database-experts.com and have been developing a website for Bill Sizemore, http://www.billsizemore.com. Through this process I have gotten to know him well, and I feel the public does not have a good understanding of who he is, why he does what he does, and the positive impact it has on Oregonians. This is primarily because the media (which receives large amounts of money from special interests, like the public employee labor unions) provides a decidedly negative slant about Sizemore.
I used to work in the media, so I know how much money influences what gets published. I think Wikipedia should be a place where such bias doesn’t exist. Unfortunately, so far almost every contribution I have made about Sizemore has been removed. I hope this does not continue.
