How is this even legal? It's literally false information on Trump's official Wikipedia page. The electoral college doesn't even meet until December 14.
.... and it received heavy funding from left-wing groups in recent years. Right around the same time Wikipedia quietly removed their Neutral Point-of-View policy. Wikipedia is left-wing propaganda and has been for a while. Any right-wing entity seen as a threat to the left's agenda is defamed in Wikipedia articles, which are subsequently locked and heavily policed by left-wing editors. Just read the Hunter Biden Laptop articled that "debunked" it entirely within 24 hours of the first story running. The same activist editors go after Breitbart and gun-rights groups.
I get that, but quoting someone else in this thread "but for the dumb and lazy it’s one of the first things to pop up in Google so they believe it. So sadly it still has influencing power."
As a mostly retired Wikipedian, it’s actually only extended-confirmed protected. There’s about 53k extended confirmed users on Wikipedia so there’s a lot of people that could change the page. Even pages under full protection are still open to a little over a thousand administrators.
In 1 month: "Trump lost the 2020 presidential election but then fraudulently entered a second term following unsubstantiated and debunk legal wins." Followed by 3-6 MSM sources, including at least one from either Huffpo or Reuters.
Wikipedia has been like this for years, I used to edit articles there as a hobby, not political stuff but Computer Science related.
Wikipedia calls everything far-right even the Epoch Times.
The site is been trashed by leftists.
However, we allow this to happen in so many areas. We think things work how they should, we think others are honest because we project our own honesty on them.
Since Google started using Wikipedia as a source and displaying summaries using them, the leftists have been in overdrive to corrupt it. It is impossible to correct it now because the senior editors are all leftists and they revert factual changes and then lock pages.
As a former Wikipedia administrator (I still read a lot of the project pages because oh is there still drama on the regular), this doesn’t surprise me in the least. The project I would say has long had left leaning bias, but in recent years their adherence to the neutral POV policy has declined (which is largely the reason for my departure).
Honestly, I could see a future where the project ends up tearing itself from within. Half the volunteer population can’t agree over stuff, and the Wikimedia Foundation constantly does dumb shit that ignores what the community wants.
I used to be a fan of Wikipedia. I thought about how great it would be some day for everyone to potentially have free access to the culmination of human knowledge with a mouse click. But just like every other fucking thing, politics has absolutely destroyed it. NOTHING can be trusted anymore. I will never trust any institution ever again after being unplugged from the Matrix. Fuck every single purveyor of disinformation, and fuck every brainwashed zombie!

It's Wikipedia, It's a website that came be edited by literally anyone on earth.

Just like academic papers.
100%
Stop feeding the enemy. Read and use Infogalactic, not Wikicuckpedia.
Wikipedia is where all the leftwing sources come together to gaslight you. Never use it. Do your own research.

Yep, as a former admin, it’s not bad for information about general topics but stay well clear of anything politics on the site.
Wikipedia = twitter = CNN
Basically some SJW cuck in SF/NY that's desperately trying to get laid.

They are making their own reality

Wikipedia has been controlled by soycucks for years now.
Those who write our history, shape the future. Look at all the revisionist TV shows that have diverse casts for historical European documentaries.
I remember during the whole Gamergate scandal that pretty much revealed that Wikipedia was an SJW site that will twist the facts in their favor.
sue them.
Just delete the edit. Write as reason that there has not been a vote in the EC yet so it is impossible to declare a winner at this time.
People are dumb and ignorant, and they really and truly believe some helmet-haired newscunt "calling it" is what settles elections.
That whole fucking page is a disaster. Disgusting hit piece.
Does anyone know how to edit it back to the truth?
Soy....one hell of a drug!
They have always been a disinformation site.
At one point pretty much anyone could edit things. There's a reason people roll their eyes when someone cites Wikipedia as a credible source.
