News companies seem to have decided not to talk about Project Veritas stuff unless it's absolutely necessary because they've been burned so often in the past, so the only sources for this are "fact checkers" and sites like The Gateway Pundit that can't be cited because they consistently churn out garbage. I wouldn't be surprised if Project Veritas were a psyop to make journalists trust sources not approved by the government less, or to serve as evidence in some argument to repeal the first amendment, so fuck them.

There's also the entire Scots English Wikipedia that was edited by one American teen, who didn't speak the dialect and just wrote articles with a Scottish-looking accent.
Um, almost the entire Scots Wikipedia was written by someone with no idea of the language – 10,000s of articles
None of you trained an AI on this data set, right? Right?
It has everything. Arrogant wikipedos, topic-squatting, ignorance, the works.
It would be laughable, kid not for the fact that Scots wiki is used as the training data for several translation resources.

It's as different from English as Norwegian and Swedish from Danish.

As it stands the current Scots English Wikipedia is still entirely fucking stupid and straight up patronizing to assume that Scots can only read shitty articles that attempt to be similar to their silly accents.There's also the entire Scots English Wikipedia that was edited by one American teen, who didn't speak the dialect and just wrote articles with a Scottish-looking accent.

Much like if you had a California English Wikipedia page it would have to have "like, uh, and brah" used in sentences.

I posted about some recent Wikipedia nonsense in regards to the Tranch here:
https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-t...gue-phillip-matthew-logue.86681/post-15369776
I wanted to ask someone more familiar with how Wikipedia works...
The Tranch is dead, and even the Tranchers have admitted (on the official Tranch twitter account) that they've been evicted. They've also shut down their website and privated or deleted most of their social media accounts. Is it normal for Wikipedia to ignore all this and refuse to allow updates since a "reliable" journalist hasn't written about it? It seems so weird to me that Wiki is just going to pretend like the Tranch is still up and running. How absurd would it be if the article remains unchanged like 10+ years in the future?
Does this happen for other organizations or communes that close down without any media fanfare?

Yes and yes. The rules say that, with few exceptions, if a source is not vetted in a way that the wikipedos think is appropriate, it can't be used. Very few journalists want to touch the Tranch now that the story is about an alpaca death camp instead of an inspiring tranny cult, so its ghost will live on on Wikipedia until someone who's not on the outs with the mainstream like the Blocked & Reported guys are writes a "So what happened to the Tranch?" article when the subject gets less radioactive, which should be around 2030.
Check out the Iroquios Confederacy for another article that is deceptively written to give the subject false life.

It's still riddled with the "english with an accent" articles written by that one idiot (who was also a brony). Possibly because the other admins are roosting on it like fat pigeons and shitting on anyone who tries to change it.
Like I said, Scots is as different from English as Danish is from Swedish. They're mutually intelligible (in one direction, at least) but they have separate vocabulary and some grammar differences. It's much more like old english. Judging it by what you find on the scots wiki is stupid.

How is it deceptively written? The Iroquois Confederacy still exists because it's the tribal government recognized by the US and Canada like most other Indian tribes, even though all they do now is mostly just block roads to get more gibs or aid US-Canada border drug traffickers for bribes.
Although the article is funny that they go to great lengths trying to minimize the historic practice of slavery among the Iroquois but then detail the also historic part about how they'd ritually torture captives, including slaves.

The constituent tribes exist but there is no formal entity which governs all Iroquois or which is the successor of the Confederacy rather than the tribes, since the Confederacy just dissolved after its territory was flooded with white settlers.
You see some rhetorical acknowledgement of historical connections in their speeches and writings, but the tribes do not coordinate politically to any greater degree than they might with non-Iroquois like the Cherokee except when individual bands are grouped together in a single reservation. Also, the Indians in these tribes do not recognize themselves as Iroquois but as Mohawk, Onondaga, and so on.
The only exceptions to this are apparently the Iroquois Lacrosse team, which is like saying that the British Empire still exists because of the Commonwealth Games, and the Iroquois passport, which no one uses except for activists and which only work with customs officials in non-Anglophone countries who don't know anything about Injuns.
Now check out the infobox on that page. It is called an "unrecognized government", Manlius is said to be the capital from "1640-onward", and there is no disestablishment listed. If you look at the section about the 20th century, you'll see that the article is only really about individual tribes, individual reservations, or pan-Indian movements. There are parts of the article written in the present tense which cite historical books. It's all bullshit.

Them using Vox as a reliable source has always pissed me off because they constantly say you can't use conservative sites as sources yet using heavily liberal ones like Vox. It's just so easy to tell how openly boas they are.

There is no site-wide consistency about accepting sources. A tweet from an organization's official account would be accepted and unremarkable on many articles, especially about something as simple as closing down. See WP
RIMARY for the actual policy.As you correctly point out in the linked post, many of the "reliable" secondary sources are garbage. Their value is saying what GorillaWarfare (thread) wants them to say.
The article is of course a complete joke. The harassment and threats section devotes a paragraph to P&B feeling threatened because they saw an anti-lockdown protest while in town, and not only that but one person was wearing an "It's OK to be white" shirt! What does any of this have to do with their faggy ranch? And then there are the supposed right-wing militias who were totally planning a special military operation against the Tranch any day now.

Second most popular Finnish party has been added to the "Finnish fascism" template that consists entirely of Finnish Nazi groups like Atomwaffen, apparently a couple of months ago, so Wikipedia jannies are cool with it. I know who added it, and I don't want to toot his horn, it's one immigrant communist who hates Finnish patriots, a total loser and a lolcow who got banned from Twitter for doxing. New low for Wikipedia. Sandbox for trannies and commies.

I know right the lords prayer while not perfect as a comparison text is certainly a better text than the opening to the UN Declaration of Human Rights, if the religious overtones bother you use the horse and sheep fable. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleicher's_fable
