Thanks for this rabbit hole... I've spent the last 45 minutes reading and clicking links and reading and clicking links which led me to read more and click several other links. I'm now drinking coffee shirtless, and I've started smoking again after 12 years.
Forever? Their entire model is based on being able to edit shit, millions of events, happening all of the time. Do you think their editors are editing current events for the billions of pages on Wikipedia? They survive on guest edits. It's their entire model.
I believe they have a ranking system, they created the little elite of authoritative editors. These accounts will still edit pages while the rest of us with be blocked from doing so.
I saw the wikipedia web page of one of these losers. The guy must have spent every free hour editing/policing wikipedia. For free. Had more fake badges, shields, and awards than a Soviet general.
getting libpedia to lock all their pages to only a select few approved lib editors would just bring to light what they do already. being able to edit a page is an illusion.
There's anti vandalism scripts running on each page, go try to do something small like add a double space or change awkward wording. Your edit will be reverted before you refresh by a power editors script. If it's unlocked, if it's locked doesn't matter. Wikipedia is NOT editable by an average person, that's a false marketing point, probably for the best.
They are referring to random pages across Wikipedia, not just high profile relevant ones. The purpose is there are far more Pedes than editors to fuck them over.
Yeah I don't see any other way of pulling this off. Maybe Billy is reading about mitochondria and then bam a primer in how Trump was lied on and set up by the Obama administration.
They do actually have a literal army of people monitoring all new edits. Not just working for/with wiki, but also media matters and a dozen other soros funded groups, the DNC, people from intelligence agencies the world over, ccp, iran, turkey, probably even some of our allies as well.
If they REALLY want to make a big impact, they should start adding "a debunked right wing conspiracy" to everything. "The Hindenburg crash was a debunked right wing conspiracy that a zeppelin crashed..." "Alexander The Great was a white alleged conqueror that a debunked right wing conspiracy claims conquered the known world..."
Its not like they can filter the phrase AND continue using it for their propaganda, the regular leftist administrators and editors that constantly add it are suddenly "trolls" too. And as a bonus, we might literally turn the gang stalking paranoids even crazier that all of human history is actually a vast secret right wing conspiracy. Think about how insane they'll look to normies when they try to start claiming stuff like Alexander The Great wasn't real and the Hindenburg never happened.
We should make them think it's happening, at least. For the cost of some inconsequential edits to random articles (did you know that Columbo was canonically 55 years old?) you might be able to provoke them into cannibalising contributors.
The Epoch Times is a far-right international multi-language newspaper and media company affiliated with the Falun Gong new religious movement, based in the United States.
Remember the link contests where you have to reach a subject by only clicking the links of existing articles and without typing?
Just go one step further and any AI wiki uses wont be wiser.
How the fuck do you lock the entire site when there are literally 10s of millions of pages? Millions of pages constantly being edited to stay current? Do you somehow think Wikipedia has 10 million editors that stay up to date on the most current events for every last topic on Earth to edit them as they happen? It's open edit for a reason. Their entire model is open edit because it is the only way to maintain up to the minute current events. Ffs it's not rocket science.
Yeah, and what do you think? They will lock it down forever? You realize how much shit is edited across Wikipedia every fucking minute? They can't lock it down long. What, you think locking down a day or even a week (which could never happen) would make them suddenly be like "Oh gee, Wikipedia got the best of us." Theyd be right there editing against as soon as they opened back up.

Must be Aussie. Cheers
As long as the pants stay on you are safe.
They absolutely could. They can just lock all pages.
Forever? Their entire model is based on being able to edit shit, millions of events, happening all of the time. Do you think their editors are editing current events for the billions of pages on Wikipedia? They survive on guest edits. It's their entire model.
You both make great points. But we can try.
from personal experience on wikipedia I concur

They can still collect the guest edits, but not publish them until they are reviewed by a "trusted" account.
you can still fill up the queue for review

Make them play by their own rules :D one of the best ways to make them self destruct.

Is that recent? I edited grammatical errors in the past that stayed.
SWIM falsely added his friend as a former member of a somewhat obscure band that remained for a couple years.

Trump wikipedia article is completely biased, negative and full of lies. I tried to argue it but they deleted my thread.

And to think years ago I gave Dimmy five dollars during one of those neeb yow monneh drives. Should have hung onto those five bucks, I tell you what.
If the lefty fuckface edit brigade wants their own personal history narrative, changeable at will, the least they can do is pay for it themselves.

I plan on using a local college's network.
You KNOW Internet Historian is documenting this shit.
That would be funny as shit.

But wikipedia is just unbiased straight facts, look:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_Times
is anything not far-right ?
This is a great idea. Please keep posting about it.

When everything is a “right-wing conspiracy theory,” nothing is
Yes please.
Most likely nobody is going to do anything.
They'd just lock the entire site. Christ what a retarded idea.

Nor is it rocket science to code a "LOCK DOWN EVERYTHING" button.
Yeah, and what do you think? They will lock it down forever? You realize how much shit is edited across Wikipedia every fucking minute? They can't lock it down long.

Anons aren't going to sit on standby waiting for the instant they can start editing the website. They'll move on.
You must be new to the autistic parts of the internet.
You must not know /pol/ very well.
Were they successful?
Yes, that's kind of the point.
