Wikipedia is a bunch of leftist saddos with nothing better to do with their lives than write bullshit on a “reputable” site and squee with the power to ban dissent [citation not needed]
Yeah I mean it’s pretty good if you want to know the difference between X butterfly and Y butterfly, but I’d probably stay away from the political shit. Especially the more modern stuff.
It's pretty inconsistent last I looked, but yes, they can if you're too obvious about things. Better to have short conversations like "should XYZ get addressed somehow?" "it shouldn't? well, ok, have a nice day then" and then it's still available to those in the know.
I mean, they've been doing this for years, they actually think CNN is a "credible source" along with mostly leftwing media whereas, if you get someone who does video content, say like Tim Pool, and he says, I am half Korean and half white or whatever, Wiki doesn't consider that a credible source despite the person who'd know the best saying it. I laugh every time I see them asking for money and hope they go down the shitter
Wikipedia can lock editing on articles, so many times you can't edit out a falsehood. Even if that's not the case, any edits you, as an unwashed plebe, make will be instantly reverted by the circling asperger-vultures that "maintain" the site.
Leftists completely took over wikipedia 5+ years ago. It's still decent for info on mollusks, aardvarks, chemical engineering, etc, but almost anything that has any sort of political/ideological component or aspect has been rewritten by Leftists and ruined.
“Between 2016 and 2020, Hunter Biden began a humanitarian program. This program led to an incredible drop in the amount of crack available to citizens in the US.”
I love wikipedia, during the Breanna case - which they have now forgotten - I had a fb discussion and when I explained that they don't actually know what they are talking about - the people on the other side of the discussion said: "there is a very good article on wikipedia about it"
To which I laughed and made my prediction: the cops will walk, there was no murder, they were investigated for drugs and the moron shot first and there are witnesses
They continued saying I was some fragile "Caucasian", but I explained I got all this from Officer Tatum and he has the docs, which I linked to them
They continued mocking me and Tatum as: "some black said it so it must be true, why do you have to look for the bad things black people do to excuse bad behavior"
Next day it all comes out, I laughed and laughed and posted every article that now had the facts - I was right, they were wrong and it has been this way since at least 2014, since Gamergate
It was doubly hilarious because the discussion started because a curfew was ordered and I said: understandable, BLM/Atnifa have said they will burn the city down - which of course happened and we even got the van people on video and on the phone to show them - good times
I honestly wouldn't even mind if it WAS debunked. Problem is, they didn't even have the decency to actually investigate or look into it. The media saw it might hurt Biden, so they just ignored it completely.
Wikipedia has been garbage for awhile now. Unless the info there is about something innocuous like puppies or how an air compressor works, it's essentially useless. I thought Wikipedia was pretty cool in the late 2000's and early 2010's. It became pretty obvious they were politically motivated in 2016 when they were pushing Killery.
I love that they think there is something terrible about a foreigners staying in trump hotels, paying the same rate as everyone else. But hunter getting a kush, no show, job making 183k a month is NBD.
Biden served on the board of Burisma Holdings, a major Ukrainian natural gas producer, from 2014 to 2019. In 2019, President Donald Trump claimed that Joe Biden had sought the dismissal of a Ukrainian prosecutor in order to protect Hunter Biden from investigation.[1][2][3] He and his father have been accused of corrupt business dealings and bribery in Ukraine and elsewhere.[4]
Checks out. Acknowledges claims made without asserting definitively, allowing reader to form their own conclusions.
Wikipedia is biased. Yes, I know that. But still I hate being ordered on this site to not go here, not go there. It is disrespectful of people's intelligence and feels a tad "lefty".

Yeah the log out and close tab buttons are useful

What about gay frogs?
You have to look up studies on endocrine disruption instead of the article on Alex Jones, which will contradict each other.
The Talk pages are useful when they discuss the information they're removing and forget to scrub it.

I have seen evidence of foreign manipulation in wikipedia articles as well.
Our teachers were right all along...it really is a shitty source that has no basis in reality.
When they use huffpo, slate, salon, et. all for their sources you know weve broken them.

Imagine that.
Thank you Wikipedia, for very clearly making the case for why its important to never give up print media.
Anyone who uses wikipedia's page as a source really needs a kick in the ass. The fact anyone can edit it shows how much its controlled.

They have enough money to run for at least 20 years, they're just milking stupid people.
I only use Wikipedia to read about the plots of Hallmark movies
they're often wrong
Never trusted them before. They've been doing this shit for years.
Well, who's up for creating MAGApedia.win?
Is Uncyclopedia still a thing?
Cant you just edit it out or tag it controversial?

Wow, didn’t know that there was a dedicated community on Wikipedia. I just thought anyone could change anything at any time. Interesting
And I donated to then twice in the past. ugh
My dumbass gave them $10 one time before they went full retard.
Redditors would always talk about how you should donate to them lmao.

I like Infogalactic as an alternative, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be well up-kept.

Wikipedia, Twitter, FB, and YouTube need to be monitored and controlled by the FCC.
I honestly wouldn't even mind if it WAS debunked. Problem is, they didn't even have the decency to actually investigate or look into it. The media saw it might hurt Biden, so they just ignored it completely.
Have you seen that they have completely blocked the wikipedia for plausible deniability until after the day of the election? Fuck Wikipedia
And they also protect these pages against “vandalism”. I think wikipedia should learn a hard lesson

He should sue for that. If you're going to slander somebody you better have the facts or pay the price.
yeeeears ahead of you bro
Wikipedia is our Ministry of Truth. Changing history and the past to align with the party.
d E b u N k E d
Would it be possible to sue them for defamation? This is just the tip of the iceberg of inaccurate Wikipedia articles.
Larry Sanger agrees that Wikipedia is a biased failure. Who's that? Co-founder, with Jimmy Wales, of Wikipedia.
Yep, use Infogalactic instead. It's a port of wikipedia but without all the left wing revisionist history.

my high-school communist teachers were right, Wikipedia is compromised and unworthy as source material
How do those on the right start a new project like Wikipedia, that is free from leftist revisionism? I’ve been trying to come up with ideas lately.
I only use the references sometimes.
I had contributed annually to wikipedia prior to Trump election. Stopped soon after, seeing all their bull shit.
Quit griping about Leftists being Leftists on their own property, and start using Truthful platforms like Infogalactic.
Honest question though...I do have lefty idiots who spout this nonsense. What is the best way to combat the Trump family claims?
The site is community run. It is nothing more then a more informational version of reddit.
What in the actual Hell?
Just go change it.
