So what online encyclopedia should I be reading?

Wikipedia is just a hypermanifestation of the shit that normally goes on in academia. No one can agree with each other, people will say stuff for ideology, and some will just be plain retarded. It's just how it is, always has been.
Read papers yourself and form your own opinions. Look at data.

*Wikipedos care more about amount of edits than Farmers about their stickers. This is kind of a simplification, but the user with more edits is always right in an argument. Technically this isn't true, but I have never seen it go the other way. Even though Wikipedia tells to assume good faith, if you disagree with an established user, you WILL be treated as being intentionally disruptive.

Edit: 767,619 / 365 x 20 = 105. He would have had to do over 100 edits every single day for 20 consecutive years to achieve this.

Several highly active, ideological (in several cases explicitly so due to their profile pages) editors - likely involved in what is known as "canvassing" on Wikipedia, or communicating with fellow editors outside of Wikipedia for the purpose of backing one another up when needed to push a point of view - seeking to hide basic information about Jordan Peterson's areas of expertise and number of citations of his papers on his article.

Keep in mind that some of the sources considered "unreliable" by the editor who reverted this information are Google Scholar and Canada's newspaper The National Post. They go so far as to consider their beloved far-left extremist propaganda outlet "Vox" as "unreliable" - despite considering it as fully reliable on their list of "reliable sources."

The amount of warnings on his talk page is going to give me an aneurysm.

criticizing Islamic fundamentalism makes you far right
I guarantee you if the Catholics still had a dominant force these people would be posting Wikipedia article saying killing Protestant is totally justified and John Calvin deserved it

Crosspost from Ruben Sim Derangement Syndrome:

The Wikipedias article (A) for Cyberbulling using Ruben as the example for trolling.

The article says
An example of this is when the Infamous Roblox troll, Ruben Sim (real name Benjamin Simon), has been banned from the popular game Roblox. This ban was court ordered, and Sim was ordered to pay Roblox $150,000 before the case was settled. "The court's judgement 'permanently restrains the Defendant (Simon)' from 'Making, publishing, or re-publishing false threats of terrorist activity relating to Roblox; Knowingly making false statements of fact about Roblox; Glamorizing or encouraging violence against Roblox, its employees, or facilities;' and more...Simon is also barred from 'accessing the Roblox Platform other than those public portions of the Roblox website that do not require an account to access,' and must stay 100 feet away from any Roblox office or facility, as well."

My friend is a reindeer herder, and a lot of Chinese tourists visit Lapland because they believe aurea borealis has some magical qualities. He caught two chinks trying to saw off his reindeer's antlers because apparently its a chinese potency medicine. Really, it seems like anything that can be acquired from an animal through torture is some ancient chinese ED pill. He shot in the air a few times with his shotgun, sending the chinkoids scattering. Total...you know.

I visited Finland once, all the way to Rovaniemi. Saw some reindeer, and did see a chink tourist and her kid who were pretty rude and demanding. Though there was a chinese restaurant close to the hotel I stayed at which I only now realize is connected to the fact there are chinese around.

Your friend should monetize this. Get all the fallen antlers and sell to the chinks.

The sheer desperation to hide Chris from the record is insane. What even is their logic? Probably some cope about "notability" because they are afraid of mentioning KiwiFarms by proxy.

That, and they can't stand having their narrative denied. It's why so many idiots got mad about Goobergrape. Can't have the peasants in revolt.

My understanding is that they generally try to suppress it under the "biographies of living persons" policy. The WMF doesn't want to open themselves up to a defamation lolsuit by having an article that says "Christine Weston Chandler allegedly raped HER mother with HER penis."
