I was talking about this very wikipedia articles edit history being a place to keep an eye out for.

Also the claim he didnt invent email because someone sent a message from one computer to another is bullshit. He invented modern email, which is the email with an inbox, outbox, attachments, subject line, cc's, forwarding, the things that made it functional. As opposed to typing in code into command prompt to make a window open on another computer with a line of text similar to the "hello world" message

Unfortunately this guy is not the only victim of Wikipedia’s biased editing. If there’s one thing my teachers were right about, it was that Wikipedia is not a trustworthy source. Used to scoff at that because I thought that articles would be fixed if they were wrong... the Ministry of Truth has a grasp on too many sources of information now.

Happened to the GSA Admin page as well. Within about an hour of the media starting to talk about her. The page is frozen now, but the page has comments about “Trump Propaganda” on it as a reason for removal.

Fun fact. After the government killed JFK, concerned citizens started asking questions. In order to shut these citizens up, the government labeled them "conspiracy theorists"

I remember scoffing at teachers in high school when they said Wikipedia wasn't a reliable source.

Might have been the only good advice I heard at school actually.

Edit their associated Talk pages.

Make a discussion to include "omitted" information along with the link(s).
