Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

The article on the January 6 pardons and commutations continues to grow. The title is still "Pardon" even though not all were pardoned; there were 14 commutations to time served. The "analysis" section is still 100% negative; there is no contrary view, such as remarks from anyone supporting the pardons or explaining that defendants were overcharged and oversentenced.

There is a new section "Pardons granted":

There were ~1500 pardons, so this is far from a complete list. Wikipedia is clearly trying to find the worst-sounding cases, so that this is not representative, as one would expect from an encyclopedia. To drive the point home, irrelevant details such as "sentenced in May 2024 by a Trump-appointed judge" are added.

Wikipedia could provide balance by, say, including cases of egregious over-prosecution like this Xitter post:

FYI, a complete list of those released from prison (not all pardons, just those where the person was in prison at the time of the pardon) was published by Newsweek:


Meanwhile, on the progress of the Musk "salute" article, there is an expanding "Reactions and response" section. Under the sub-section "Reactions in the United States", there is a Jewish sub-sub-section:

That is the entire section, the reaction of one Canadian Jew. For those not keeping track, Canada is not yet part of the United States. There are many prominent actual American Jews such as Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss who have pointed out the obvious that it was not a Nazi salute, but Wikipedia has no time for them.

Yes Wikipedia has an article on this:
View attachment 6903695

It's been nominated for deletion, but from the !votes so far it's likely to survive.

It includes text like this:

But the paragraph on these supposed groups' celebration is mostly them laughing about it.

Also, there is an article for this:

Seethe and dilate harder, Wikipedia:

And who is Royce Lamberth, you might wonder, this dude who talks about "meritless justifications of criminal activity?"

Well, he used to be this:

So he used to be the Presiding "Judge" of a fake court that only existed to commit crimes against Americans on behalf of the LITERAL Deep State.

This is the USA PATRIOT fake court that existed just to rubber stamp every single thing the intelligence establishment demanded.

This evil motherfucker is in no position to criticize someone for pardoning people for engaging in First Amendment protected activity, or commuting excessively harsh penalties for the few people who committed anything that could be considered actual crimes.

Fuck this guy and may he burn in Hell as soon as possible.

I searched Wikipedia for "Bolo Yeong", just guessed the spelling of his last name, and got...

The South Korean public often views diaper fetishism in a negative light. A Naver cafe (similar to the Yahoo! Groups service) that is devoted to diaper fetishism was closed around September 2010 as the South Korean media outlets portrayed it negatively to the general public.[22][23][24] Another incident occurred when a South Korean girl group, Girl's Day, were accused of wearing costumes that looked like oversized diapers, dubbed diaper fashion.[25]

Leviticus 20:13 - If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
A gay synagogue is a synagogue of Satan, not of God.

The insane Jan 6 sentence lengths which were obviously politically motivated and malicious are made doubly egregious by the fact that just 6 months before during the Floyd riots people were literally getting probation for burning down fast food restaurants over a dead fentanyl addict.

A good few pages ago, someone mentioned Wikipedia's chemical articles being full of fluff and junk, but this is absolutely ridiculous. It tells you almost nothing about what this chemical is or how its made beside how it looks like a scary wrongthink symbol. If you click the source that supposedly claims it's "controversial" (how in the hell is a chemical controversial because of the shape of its molecules?), it's an article about a totally different chemical that also looks vaguely like a wrongthink symbol.

Congratulations, you just won the thread, this is easily the most stupid shit I've ever seen on Wikipedia.

Now I think troons should be burned with tetraethylmethane.

That is not even how the actual structure is. It's just the 2D projection. The unstable compound orthocarbonic acid looks more like a swastika.

This is indeed dumb, but it's worth noting that that text was added by an anonymous (IP) user only a few weeks ago, and has now been removed (probably because of your post):

This was basically vandalism that went unnoticed for some time because it is an obscure article.
