The leftist filth New World Order-loving comrades at Wikipedia are blithering idiots. That is worse than being a Neo-Idiot.

A Wiki listing for a Vietnam battle merely repeated the same old tired crap found across the Web. Being present in person for that battle I added 100% accurate information that made the Wiki article far more than what the various sources the Wiki article author stole from.

My content sat alongside the already-present content for a short period before being deleted. Other entries for various Vietnam-related content that I was able to add insightful content based upon either my actually using equipment or events witnessed were also deleted. Fine. This stuff happened years ago and I decided that the comrades at Wiki can play in their yard and akin to the other commenter I use Wikipedia for very basic needs and wants and otherwise avoid the loathsome place.

Wikipedia is NOT an encyclopedia. It is not a place for provable facts, nor are they interested in facts of any kind. "Information" contained there is regurgitated public school text; we all know who writes that shit.

    It's OK for math and established science.

    and established science.

    You mean established science that doesn't challenge the narrative, like race or IQ does

    Sure. Maybe I should have said "noncontroversial science". Let's just put it this way: if, at work, I have to look something up quickly, some established scientific factoid, then the wiki is pretty reliable for that. Even if it is a narrative that could be challenged, it probably wouldn't do me any good to try to challenge it at work. I don't generally use the wiki for anything personal, political, or spiritual unless I need a mainstream take.

    Wiki is one of the long-marched institutions.

    To understand why wikipedia is the way it is, you just have to consider exactly who has time in their lives and access to research dbs. Basically everyone you edit-war with on wikipedia is an adjunct professor or a journalist.

    Nah, a lot of them are SJW types with an agenda. Period.
