Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

Here is a schizopost I found earlier today. Coming back to it saw that it was removed but luckily it remains archived in the Revisions Page.

A list of various Wikipedias with different languages, including classical Chinese, a language not spoken anymore, and Sorbian, a minority Slavic language in Germany.
Are dedicated, American teenagers who can't speak any of those languages the ones controlling those Wikipedia versions? Like the Scots Wikipedia "controversy", because Wikipedia attracts an autistic/cult-like userbase.

And while all white people are devils, and all glorious PoCs are equal, some are more equal than others.
"Facts" only matter on Wikipedia, a supposed online Encyclopedia, if the subject is something they don't give a shit about. When its something the rabid userbase does care about, it must be guarded to fit their own standards. No questions asked. Common sense is nothing because that's the dreaded "original research".

EDIT: Also, I just realized that many of the sex illustrations on Wikipedia came from one now retired Wikipedia user called "Seedfeeder".

And a song called "Superstraight" by an Australian rock band has been protected due to vandalism, obviously due to recent events.

Most likely the former. I can understand a Welsh or Breton Wikipedia as there are active speakers but retarded shit like Latin, Sanskirt, or some language spoken by like three dudes in some island in the middle of the Pacifica is just autistic.

https://pdc.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaptblatt - Here's Pennsylvania Dutch Wikipedia, which is the language basically nobody but the Amish and a few hardcore Mennonites speak.


Wikipedia for Eskimos. There's a bunch of Wikipedia versions for Native American languages (and IIRC one or two Australian Aboriginal languages) which are basically dead. Their main goal is to promote use of dying languages to those communities. Unfortunately this seems to be a project (often bundled with tech literacy/"bringing computers/the internet to the rez" outreach) that lasts for a few sessions and then is mostly abandoned.

Far more strange are Wikipedias for African languages which are very much alive and have millions of speakers. The outreach programs are similar (you have pictures of white people posing with local villagers and teaching them about Wikipedia) but even though it isn't just one rez in the middle of nowhere but giant chunks of your average African country, the Wikis similarly lay abandoned. Even in South Africa (which is semi-developed by African standards) they can't get wikis in any local language but Afrikaans (i.e. Boers). There are a lot of sub-Saharan Africans online as evidenced by bizarre websites like Nairaland but they all want to write in broken English (or French apparently) instead of the languages they speak.

I'm all for people speaking local languages or revitalizing dead languages, and Wikipedia's role in this seems rather odd to say the least.
