		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m the owner of the site you critically described as a &quot;vile ripoff&quot;, before referring to me as a &quot;crook&quot;.

I&#039;m sorry you feel so strongly this way. The intention of wikimirror was to provide additional enhancments to wikipedia content, in addition to combining it with other reference material such as wordnet.

I have invested some time in adding a few unique features, such as tooltips showing summaries of interlinked articles, and am in the process of further enhancing the site.

The wikimirror page has contact information clearly available, and it&#039;s a shame you didn&#039;t contact me with your viewpoint or suggested improvments before you went on your rampage to publicly humiliate my site.

Wikipedia&#039;s policy has nothing against mirrors, providing the license information is left intact, and credit is given. As a significant portion of the advertising revenue from wikimirror is donated back to Wikipedia, I do not believe I am harming the wikimedia foundation.]]></description>

Did you check if the statement is true before giving them this much bad
publicity? I have no idea if they do &quot;financially support&quot; WiKi or not,
but it is very well possible that they donate some part of the money they
earn from AdSense on this pages (at least for tax relief purposes), and
then you would really sound like an a**hole attacking people that support
the same cause that you do.

What is it, Roy, maximalism of youth?]]></description>
