Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

[Mordecai "3 Finger" Brown]

Did Wikipedia get a UI makeover?

The contents menu seems to have been given a dedicated column now on the left side. At least on Android.

I reflexively hate any change for the sake of change, though it was annoying to have to always scroll back up to the index.

Yes, this change was done several months ago. There was much discussion in this thread. Start here:

Wikipedia switched to the new Vector skin back in January. You missed all the malding (check the inwiki archives for the outrage) back then.

There was one Larry Sanger was trying to get off the ground: Citizendium. Real-names only for users and a much more detailed review process that includes scientists checking the articles. Sadly AFAIK it stands mostly abandoned.

Citizendium had the opposite problem--you could get control of any topic by having the right credentials, so you had a bunch of fake doctors on the site shilling homeopathy and other snake oil.

Thanks.

I use Wikipedia several times a week.

Seems weird that I wouldn't have noticed a 7 month old change until now.

You say you use Android. If I recall correctly, the mobile version of the site has always used the Minerva skin, so it might have been a recent default skin change for you.

It's really not hard to show how biased Wikipedia is just look at far left terrorists versus far right terrorists and how they're treated it's weird all the far right there is could also be called revolutionaries

There is a bias but this is a retarded comparison. Go find an actual right-wing revolutionary not Anders fucking Breivik.

But let's see how they treat the order
In the first few lines they call it a terrorist organization
Narodnaya Volya
Why do they get the nice Monica revolutionary anarchists
But then are called terrorists

Adam Waffen division
It's weird they're called a terrorist organization they should correctly be called a national socialist right-wing revolutionary organization

It's very interesting that the Black Panthers which are a terrorist organization
Are called a black power organization instead of terrorists

I once had a college professor and he got really pissed off at me because I kept pointing out that his definition of terrorism is just particular political organizations he doesn't like personally.

You can also take note that any page reguarding violent terrorist/murder/rape of whites at the hands of blacks they always omit the nigger criminal offender's photos.

The mainstream media does that, but I hadn't previously noticed the pattern as much on Wikipedia. It's not surprising. Call it another variant of Coulter's Law.

I looked at a few others. There's no photo here (but they do admit to the racial motive):

2017 Fresno shootings - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Or, going back, there's a photo on this one, but it's way down the article, and the racial motive is barely mentioned in the text:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Long_Island_Rail_Road_shooting

Most won't get coverage on Wikipedia at all, such as this black guy who killed four white people in Georgia a few weeks ago:

Ummm actually conservatard, according to the Biden Administration terrorism is only something that harms the democratic processes of the US, and the government gets to dictate what organizations fit that category now.

Same change in language as with racism to deny blacks are racist towards whites. Now racism is power+predjudice, and we all know blacks are completely powerless and have no sway over broader society.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Communists love playing semantics and language rules. That is because when it comes to language consensus is truth, and since commies are masters at forcing consensus via bullying and gaslighting and force they can just make words mean anything they want.

Unironically the fbi has a really good definition of terrorism: the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a Government or civilian population in furtherance of political or social objectives.
They even call the Boston Tea Party as the first act of terrorism in this countries history.

It honestly disturbs me that the largest law enforcement agency in the country calls one of our foundational protests an act of terrorism, especially since they can't be assed to call BLM or Antifa terrorist groups even as they burn down cities to demand anarchy.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

In theory it is a good example. In practice yeah it comes off as very ominous, especially since we know how much globalists hate America.

FBI agents receive their "hate crime and extremist" training from the ADL.

Sounds like the FBI defining itself. One man's terrorist is another mans defender of our democracy though I suppose.

I swear to God the FBI was better when it was the private blackmail arm of a homosexual and his gay lover.
