It is true. I know people personally who wrote on Wikipedia for years only to find half the stuff they wrote (which was truthful, sourced, accurate) was taken down. They went to re-edit and found that within 24 hours it gets changed.

You should change your views, or risk becoming a lemon.

That's the famous - I know a guy - argument, often used when there isn't any reliable evidence that others can corroborate. Perhaps this is true for those people you mention. It's not likely to be true for most of the 53,671,337 pages of Wikipedia. It's also common on Saidit to merely claim that Wikipedia is liberal and unreliable, for which there is no evidence. Oversimplifying the information available to us won't help anyone.

You can try and gaslight my experiences away, and I'll just laugh.

Wikipedia isn't overly liberal, it's overly modern. All views that are on there are modernized and one-dimensional. We've talked about this before, and you did not have the same reaction you are having now.

I didn't gaslight anything.

Your evidence is not corroborated with anything else.

That's it

I don't know if I could compile my experiences into anything that you would accept as being evidence. How do I record something that happened years ago? Do I simply forget it happened because people like you won't accept it as "evidence"

Your experience is only example of the evidence. Corroborate it with something.
