 | This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. |
As an organization, Wikipedia recognizes and acknowledges its need to speak out, subject to broad editor consensus, in defense of academic freedom, which is essential for the existence of the project. As expressed by Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Michael H. Posner the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, "The scientific community, which benefits so dramatically from an open Internet, must became a leader in this effort by uniting with colleagues in their universities and scientific societies to promote Internet freedom."[1]
