Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

Some absolute mad man edited the Motte & Bailey fallacy page, let's see how long it lasts or what examples survive editing.

Everything is gone now except MAGA and #Believe Women, despite Black Lives Matter coming from the same exact source.

Black Lives Matter taken out because it's NOT REALLY what the movement is about.

Mary Kay Letourneau, a schoolteacher convicted in 1997 of raping a 12 year old student who just died, joined Wikipedia years ago to "correct errors" about her crime. For some reason it's been a relatively popular page and has inspired the standard pedophile apologetic nonsense.

Mcfnord (his page makes him sound insufferable) in particular seems to have some axe to grind about describing her as committing child rape, but I haven't noticed anything about pedophilia itself from him other than that it's mean to call her that. Flyer22 Frozen is a long-time editor who seems no stranger to drama and has been intimately involved with this specific page for a long time and has a long term beef with Mcfnord following their meeting on this page. Many of her (claims to be female) interests seem to involve child sexuality; she states this is indeed the case at one point. She also claimed to be withdrawing from Wikipedia on her user page but she has had over 100 edits over the last four hours.

Wikipedia notables like DHeyworth, SMcCandlish and Masem have been involved with this not notable article, I think because past administration disputes drew them in. The "climax" of this page seems to have been in February 2019 with an official COI discussion which ramped up in March. This happens to be the point where Mcfnord became almost exclusively involved with the article, after moving on from R. Kelly and then Matt Gaetz. He ended the exclusive relationship in September. I think the saddest part is that now that she's dead, he'll never get that pity-bang from white-knighting so hard.

Turns out my teachers were right all along, Wikipedia isn't a credible source. I know, shame on me for expecting anything less from the liberal hivemind. This is a bad joke that's gone too far, but if people believe this unironically, then you deserve whatever karma comes your way.

If your use Wikipedia for anything but fun, you don't deserve to have a brain.

The only thing Wikipedia was ever good for was quickly finding links to potentially reliable sources on obscure topics and it hasn't even done that right for over a decade.

Anyway, I was looking for the estimated numbers on the Tulsa race riots since it had come up in conversation with someone and noticed that the article on both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica have been changed to "Tulsa race massacre" (On 14 February 2020‎ and Jun 16, 2020 respectively).

EB doesn't let you link to the page change history for some reason but here's the edit that was made:

From the bio of the person who changed the article:
Amy Tikkanen is the general corrections manager, handling a wide range of topics that include Hollywood, politics, books, and anything related to the Titanic. She has worked at Britannica for more than two decades.

As for the Wikipedia page, the person who closed the discussion and moved the page literally has a picture/quote of Lenin as his profile page (someone archived the page 3 weeks ago: https://archive.md/Whr1R).

Just another example of why letting the mob determine facts on controversial topics is a terrible idea, even debunking articles are now using massacre (https://archive.md/oC8sX) now that it's been pushed hard enough.

One of the more absurd moments in historical revisionism. This is an event that was so unnotable that it was only discovered by accident in the 90s by a group of people specifically looking for a race-crime in Oklahoma to do activism around. Now it (and the myth of "Black Wall-Street") is one of the founding stories of modern cultic liberalism.

The most annoying part of this to me is how someone decided that the best way to illustrate a train which was a modified version of another that reduced it to a single carriage was with a picture of 2 units joined together

If you have any reliable sources on hand, I'd be happy to see them. In the past 30 years, the numbers seem to have gone from the official '36' to '100ish' to 'up to 300' to 'potentially hundreds' to the point where you have the fringes now trying to push it as literally Black 9/11.

I'm afraid I don't have anything I can link. The best sources about the riots come from the local newspapers, which should be archived in the Library of Congress online collection. The only direction I can point you towards off-hand for debunking the modern "research" is that the most damning numbers and allegations rely solely on the interview testimony of black people in their 90s who were children at the time, and family stories of events. None of which match up with the documented evidence.
 
What the fuck is a "race massacre?" I have literally never heard that term until now. Is this what they're trying to get the term "race riot" renamed too? Even on Wikipedia they're inconsistent about it. Some race riot articles are still called race riots, others are called massacres, but only the Tulsa Race Riot is called a race massacre.

It's trying to make the Tulsa riots a blood libel against whites, like some sort of jealous pogrom. It's straight out of the Jewish playbook about pogroms.
 
Any other people without an info box?
I just found out Kubrick and Laurence Olivier both dont have one.

Why, are they all like "oh no they wont read my hard work if theres an infobox : (((((((( "?

I swear to christ the ego trip on these mods
The Kubrick one must have been recent because I swear he used to have one. That's just baffling that they'd remove it.

The Laurence Olivier article is written by a turbo autist who demands people read his shitty article and hates infoboxes. I think we discussed him in more detail earlier in the thread.

It's idiocy they allow one autistic piece of shit to hold relatively major articles hostage with this kind of bullshit. They should enforce stylistic uniformity onto categories of articles. If you look up a Wikipedia article on some legendary actor for research, you're immediately going to want basic details like birth dates and locations of birth and relatives and other shit that goes into an infobox, not to read the random spergings of some mental case.

And incidentally if they're wondering why 98% of their readers don't have any interest in contributing any more, shit like this is part of it.

And much of the rest is basically telling any of their userbase who aren't literally hardcore Marxists that they can pretty much fuck off, too. Get your money from the commies, idiots. Get woke, etc.
