DiscussionTake back wikipedia

submitted by HelloMomo from (self.LGBDropTheT)

Wikipedia has a reputation for being very wokey and mainstream. It's own creator has disowned it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0P4Cf0UCwU

That being said, I'm curious: does anyone ever tried to fight against that?

Myself, I recently created a Wikipedia page for Nolan Investigates. It's overall complimentary, although I tried to not be too gushing over the whole thing. And... it's still up. No competing edits or anything. Maybe's its just a matter of time, but still, it surprised me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_Investigates

I'm not proposing we launch a crusade against Wikipedia. But I do wonder: Did I just luck out? Or is thing whole thing not nearly as bad as it's made out to be?

Looks like you did a nice job there, thank you for adding that. Made a commemorative copy for you in case it does poof, though I doubt that it will (which could be wishful thinking, but we can now watch together to see what happens): https://archive.ph/OjOwa

No comment on the video, but I can see where there could be concerns. Will try to find time to watch it soon.

That was a very informative video. I knew back in 2010 that you cannot believe everything you read on Wikipedia because anyone can edit it, but it wasn’t until 2018 did I started to lose trust in the site as a whole. I realised by the middle of 2020 that the site is structurally dishonest and censorious. Now I know how it got this way. In fact, this website was the reason why I used to believe that there were more than two genders, because I trusted them and I was tricked into thinking that people who knew there were only two genders were just ignorant, misinformed or malicious. Then I started listening to people who knew there were only two genders and started to consider that these people could be right, and they are.

Never trust Wikipedia. Also, did you know that Wikimedia Foundation is headquartered in San Francisco? That city has been the nucleus of the fascist woke cult for decades. There is something about this city that should concern all of western civilisation.

The culty bits are more recent, just FYI. As for fascism, I think that might be the more or less exclusive province of the TRAs. But the decade is young and the woke are fervent, so we'll see, whether we want to or not.
