Waiting for someone to finally sue Wikipedia for defamation of character. Dumb cunts on Wikipedia will turn on each other soon as someone try.

Sounds hard to do since Wikipedia can just say "hurr durr this source our editor used said it first, not us" and if that wasn't the case they'd just delete it, hide it, and ban the editor and say they were doing their job in removing defamation. Even in a European country with easier wins for defamation you'd still be fucked.

This is the only segment I at least somewhat agree with, he was drawn a lot seemingly for the excuse of drawing a buff guy in bondage being pierced by arrows.

Oh yes because you must be far right
to want to kill communists.
Also Auntie immigration and Auntie LGBT someone should tell them that Karl Marx did not support homosexuality and was against immigration Karl Marx is now far right
That talk page is hilarious one user literally said there's not been much written about what the center left in centerite believe.
Proving once and for all people who edit Wikipedia are all far left weirdos or intentionally dishonest.
The closing of the American mind
Man economy in the state
That's libertarian
Three books of civil government.
The Federalist Papers
Plato's Republic
Also I love how their definition of far right doesn't include monarchism for some reason the most right-wing ideology to them is national socialism that is not even remotely accurate

I love how they can't even admit that right wing mass shooters or whatever the fuck they are sperging at have no international relations and any alleged ties basically are just going to some political convention or some shit. Even Wikipedos can't lie that much yet.

Most of their super-editors just have journoscum friends. They make up some bullshit, have them publish it, then cite it as a "reliable source."

That might be not the right thread to mention but there's a interesting rant about Elon Musk and Wikipedia nicknamed "Dickipedia".

#Dickipedia and the Future of Unbiased Information
By Susan D. Harris
After a brief exchange with social media influencer Ian Miles Cheong in December 2022, Elon Musk sent out one of his craftily concise tweets directed at Wikipedia cofounder Jimmy Wales.
Reporter Jon Levine at the New York Post soon followed up, musing to Musk, “I wonder how much Wikipedia would cost,” to which Jimmy Wales reacted: “Wikipedia is not for sale.”
This eventually made it to the online encyclopedia’s “Ten things you may not know about Wikipedia” page, where they doth protest too much with their snide comment, “If you're waiting for Wikipedia to be bought by your friendly neighborhood Internet giant, don't hold your breath.” The mantra then made its way to Wikipedia’s fundraising efforts, where a pop-up window declares, “Wikipedia is not for sale. A personal appeal from Jimmy Wales...”
And a few days ago, in another artfully brief post, X owner Elon Musk threw down the gauntlet to Wikipedia, saying, “I will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to Dickipedia.”
Laughs aside, Musk went on to question what Wikipedia is doing with all the money it raises: “Have you ever wondered why the Wikimedia Foundation wants so much money? It certainly isn’t needed to operate Wikipedia. You can literally fit a copy of the entire text on your phone! So what’s the money for? Inquiring minds want to know...”
And as quickly as you can say “Dickipedia,” Vice.com published a sugar-soaked article declaring, “The Wikimedia Foundation is remarkably transparent” and accused Musk of not understanding how Wikipedia works — which was believed by no one anywhere.
Not to be outdone, Australia’s Financial Review called the “Dickipedia” comment a “Trumpian broadside” that is “just the latest from Musk against sources of information that disseminate credible information.”
The thing is, a quick look at social media discussions on the subject reveals that many people consider Wikipedia a biased website.
In my recent article, “We’re Overdue in Demanding Accountability from Wikipedia,” I examined the accuracy of Wikipedia, how it joined forces with the World Health Organization, and whether there is any hope of reinventing it without bias.

It has been pretty interesting to see the massive shitshow that Musk's stupid stunt has caused. Some real ass kissing of Wikipedia has spread like wildfire and people are regurgitating some real "We need to protect Our Democracy" takes over it.

Tamzin (Thomas Harrison Kelly), Wikipedia administrator, was discussed upthread last year. Start here:
I put basic dox here:
He identifies (or identified) as a "plural system" as well as claiming to be a woman.

Came across this recently published video. Wikipedia once against putting complete made up shit as fact and it was left up for years until a brave autist who actually cares about Welsh history caught it and started unraveling the thread.

Nigga, so did I.
I also recently watched Geno's Scott documentary on Youtube (highly recommend). I had a bit of a polar phase about 10 years ago, reading a popular history of the Arctic and a translation of Nansen's book (if there's an abridged version, I'd probably recommend that more). Anyway, my memory of the controversies surrounding challenges to the first few claims to reach the North Pole was rusty so I checked English Wikipedia to refresh myself of the details. I found this:
"However, Peary's claim remains highly disputed and controversial. Those who accompanied Peary on the final stage of the journey were not trained in [Western] navigation, and thus could not independently confirm his navigational work, which some claim to have been particularly sloppy as he approached the Pole."
This just bothers me. Latitude and longitude are objective, not Western. Sure, putting 0 in England comes from the Western world, but the concepts aren't strictly Western and never have been. I'm pretty sure the Arabs made huge developments in measuring latitude during their golden age. Hell, a lot of this shit predates Western civilization, I think, coming off of navigational knowledge developed in the ANE. The sentence should say scientific navigation, or instrumental navigation.
It's also obviously a stylistic outlier. This just highlights the fact that someone threw it in because of dumb reasons. Wikipedia is not supposed to have bracketed asides like this. What's the deal?

Just some crank who did it years ago, and nobody's ever bothered to revert it: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=North_Pole&diff=prev&oldid=785483715
