Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

This article was never correct. People who usually write articles about these forums have never used them and ingrained themselves into the site's culture.

The article isn't meant to be a record of the truth, it is meant as a resource for the enforcement of the Orthodoxy.

Well, @garbageraider is an easy counterpoint. Of course we mock people who involve themselves, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, nor that our forum culture doesn't in part encourage it (the school assignments retrieved from the eponymous dumpster were well appreciated, even if the act itself was rightly mocked).

Most people are capable of appreciating content while thinking the person who generated it is an absolute fucking retard.

It would be trival for someone to fork Wikipedia. I am frankly shocked. The best we got is Conservapedia.

There have been a lot of forks. The forker may start by fixing a handful of articles. But then no one contributes to them so they otherwise become dated versions of Wikipedia.

So let me get this straight, a guy who drew porn pictures for Wikipedia gets a dedicated article not just a stub or a mention in another article but a full on article but Chris Chan can't even be mentioned on Ruckersville page despite having multiple mainstream sources covering his Barbussy incident? Fuck off.

Kirkegaard was once active on Wikipedia, till he was banned in 2019, with only this unilluminating explanation:

If there is any record of this ArbCom decision, I have not been able to find it. They even removed his talk page access, which is usually reserved for ongoing abuse. Or, apparently, wrongthink.

He once maintained a structured list of references in his userspace on the topic of intelligence, but it was deleted citing NO:NAZIS and "It is offensive":

But meanwhile some utter weirdo whose entire output was putting pictures of interracial cocksucking all over the site isn't.

He was I think accused of Socking which is gay as hell. Also his FAQ is really good.

The only sockpuppet investigation I found was this one:

They concluded he was not socking, and also there was nothing further after September 2018, several months before Feb 2019 when he was banned with no explanation. Plus, is sockpuppeting, even if proven, grounds for disabling talk page access?

They have long used spurious sock puppet investigations as a way of banning people they have actual justification for, except that they don't like them.

There were a lot of these in the earlier generation of Wikipedia dubious editors like slim Virgin, and this tactic has carried over to the current gen.

The wikimedia foundation is a target-rich environment, we already posted a few informative links about it earlier in this thread. Huge grants to groups that make YouTube videos with hundreds of views and almost no engagement. It looks like a scam.

On the topic of the over-citation thing, I found an actual historical article that didn't have bullshit modern politics attached that had like 15 citations in the first paragraph. Shame I can't find it now.

That's good in historical articles if you're using it for background research and actually want a citation for some trivial fact you can check.

It's more common now in dumbass political articles where you'll have "Dornald Blumpf is ONTOLOGICALLY EVIL. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]."

In the English Wiktionary page on "性別" (sex, "gender"), they use some "woke" propaganda in the examples.

性別

sex; gender

性別平等／性别平等 ― xìngbié píngděng ― gender equality
性別的流動性／性别的流动性 ― xìngbié de liúdòngxìng ― gender fluidity
愛情不分性別。／爱情不分性别。 ― Àiqíng bùfēn xìngbié. ― Love is love, regardless of gender.
性別是個光譜。／性别是个光谱。 ― Xìngbié shì ge guāngpǔ. ― Gender is a spectrum.

我不能從中文名中看出性別。 [MSC, trad.]
我不能从中文名中看出性别。 [MSC, simp.]
Wǒ bù néng cóng zhōngwén míng zhōng kànchu xìngbié. [Pinyin]

Okay, dumb shit on Wikipedia I just personally noticed. This, from this:
The ensemble cast includes Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Richard Castellano, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden, John Marley, Richard Conte, and Diane Keaton.

What kind of movie illiterate would not have included JOHN CAZALE in this?
