Wikipedia is exceeding its own record of stupidity

Now I observe that the genealogically ambitious
royalty-watcher Mr Charles von Hamm, whose pretension
to Merovingian descent seemingly is important to him,
has -for now- lost his favorite, although delusional,
part of own pedigree, at least from the Wikipedia
article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descent_of ... _William_I
However, Wikipedia being what it is, it is relatively
expectable that he or someone goes to reintroduce that
Merovingian-Carolingian lineage hypothesis to the
article at some point - make-believe it were a true
and proven genealogy. To impress gullible people, I
presume. And is the membership of that Merovingian
Society for the Gullible that important thing :)
probably it is - to some.
This is why I express my caution with words "for now".

The rational editor who -for now- has excised that
genealogical fiction from the article, also left an
opinion about facts of the matter, to the commentary
page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Desce ... an_Descent
I have understood that Wikipedia protocol demands that
before the fantastic lineage between Merovingians and
Carolingians gets again included to the article, the
matter should be argued (and some consensus found) in
that commentary platform.

It would be interesting to check from time to time,
what alterations get to argued, made and even executed
in those two pages.
