Activists’ Mediagvardii “(project” Young Guard “United Russia”) attempted to edit the film drugs in “Wikipedia” that November 18 Federal Service for Drug Control (FDCS) has recognized illegal, since they contain recipes for drugs. However, the resource manager did not accept changes, and activists blocked the wording “for vandalism».

– We have tried to edit in “Wikipedia” article on drugs, which in addition to the information about them contained recipes manufacturing formulas, that is illegal – said the head of the federal project MGER “Mediagvardiya” Cyril Grinchenko. – We have tried to edit them with a detailed justification of all the rules of “Wikipedia”. Unfortunately, the resource administration is blocked not only our changes, but our activists, who were registered in the resource, with the wording: “For vandalism: the removal of content».

According to the head of the movement “Antidiler” , State Duma deputy Dmitry Nosov’s Federal Drug Control Service checked the seven articles in “Wikipedia” and five of them found the banned information. This “Izvestia” he said Nosov, the information was confirmed by the Federal Drug Control Service. Now, if the “Wikipedia” will edit these articles do not, they can make a blacklist of Roskomnadzor. As the Internet encyclopedia uses encryption protocol https, which does not allow to block individual pages can be locked all «Wikipedia».

The Russian Federal Drug Control Service said that they sent links to articles to make Roskomnadzor the registry forbidden to disseminate information and notify the site administrator.

– the editor of the site has three days to make corrections in the article online encyclopedia in order to fulfill the requirements of the law. With representatives of the online encyclopedia have Russian Federal Drug Control Service has long established cooperation, – reported the press service of Federal Drug Control Service. – We are confident that this time the necessary adjustments articles site will be carried out in a timely manner. Thanked the public for active citizenship.

The press service Roskomnadzor said that after checking the actual availability of the decisions contained in the Federal Drug Control Service of information on the site “Wikipedia” links to the online encyclopedia article will be included in Register banned information.

November 13 in Krasnoyarsk Federal Drug Control Service arrested a criminal, to produce 23 kg of synthetic drugs on prescription from an online encyclopedia. The total amount made on the black market – 70 million rubles. The detainee said that a drug produced in the recipes from “Wikipedia”. Activists monitored online encyclopedia and found there seven articles with a recipe for making drugs.

Commenting on the “News” this information, the Executive Director of the NGO “Wikimedia Ru” (operates the Russian “Wikipedia” ) Stanislav Kozlovsky said that “thus” Antidiler “will likely want propiaritsya».

– Anyone can post any article from us. If the organization worried about the topic of drugs, they themselves would have to edit these articles and discuss them on our forum – said Kozlovsky. – In the “Wikipedia” Article 1.27 million, which change regularly. We’re trying to track, but could be a provocation. If there were posted instructions, they can be removed.

But, as the experience of “Mediagvardii” to work on the rules of “Wikipedia” is impossible. A couple of days before the representatives of the “Antidilera” sent its letter to the Federal Drug Control Service, the activists of the youth movement EP trying to get started with online encyclopedia in the pretrial order.

– It is better to work directly with the resource, to remove the illegal content of the article, and lock – this is an extreme Meria. We worked according to the rules of editing articles – says Grinchenko. – Try to keep all the rules of procedure. It was made several attempts to edit articles, but they ended in the same way. Then we planned to apply to the Federal Drug Control Service and Rosokmnadzor, but it is time to make the representatives of ‘Antidilera ».

According to the chairman of the Institute of the German Internet Klimenko, the” Wikipedia “is special people who can edit most articles. Cost of services – from 30 th. To 50 th. Rubles. But even they have limitations.

– «Wikipedia” – an international organization that is subject primarily to US law – says Klimenko. – I think that the conflict is built on the fact that in their work they do not consider the Russian laws.

Chief Editor of news agency “Lightning” Anton box-Zemlyansky said that “Vikipidii ‘moderators – is enthusiastic. Many of them, he said, living in Ukraine. “Pumped” to the level of a moderator can anyone, for this you need to edit a certain number of texts per month. The final decision on editing can be made by a majority vote of the moderators.

– Collegiate format is not protected from malicious misrepresentation. Source Selection subjective. Giving references to those or other media publications or scientific writers, Stalin can be a tyrant, or, on the contrary, a good man – said box-Zemlyansky. – Just having 5-10 of moderators at his disposal – and you can edit any article. This was evident in the article about the downed aircraft in the Ukraine. It has been seen in an article written encyclopedic dry language, someone is trying to give references for what happened to blame Russia.

According to Korobkova-Zemlyansky, the deviation changes in the articles about drugs may , was designed to provoke a scandal that is exaggerated in the Western press.

Because of the articles on drugs “Wikipedia” it has been blocked in Russia for a few hours. August 24 this year, “Roskomnadzor” blacklisted article “Wikipedia”, dedicated to narcotic substances charas. By decision of the District Court of the Astrakhan region Chernojarsky she was found to be illegal, since it provided information on the method of manufacturing the drug. Internet encyclopedia works over an encrypted protocol https – its use does not allow a single block page. Therefore, due to blockage of a single article all the “Wikipedia” was not available in Russia.

After this, then explained to Roskomnadzor, the article “Charas”, which did not have any confirming source and, therefore, for abuse of the “Wikipedia”, it has been completely redesigned encyclopedia editors, after which the text was the academic, scientific and reasonable. Immediately after that, the supervisory authority asked the Federal Drug Control Service employees conduct peer review of the new text. On the morning of August 25 they received a conclusion: the new text of the article contains no violations of the law. “Wikipedia” was removed from the blacklist of sites and was again available for the whole of Russia.
