What happened to the Wiki article on the cap plague?

Time ago it was extensive, and had great tech stuff and spectacular carnage: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php...ldid=463501242


But now it's a rump : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

Failed electrolytic capacitors with swollen can tops and expelled rubber seals, dates of manufacture "0106" and "0206" (February 2001 and February 2002)

Simple. It's wikipedia- the antithesis of important details. Some of those "characters" are rather odd... everytime I see something over there proclaiming "...in the UK" without a reciprocal '...in the USA," I say to myself "this isn't the UK."

For bias, "deliberate omission," "consensuses ()," and non-information/information without knowledge, wikipedia can't be beat... The dumbing down over there is deliberate; to say that some articles are biased is a hell of an understatement.

They need, desperately, to get off their high horse.

I think it was late 2006 or 2007 that I started reading on badcaps.net. Before I joined badcaps, I think it was the original Capacitor Plague Wikipedia page that got me here. I see it's #2 in the references of that old page. What a shame they changed it.

It seems that /at least part of the/ problem was necessity to support 30W cpu and 95W cpu on the same motherboard...
