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.
Research paper came out that asked 13 "experienced editors" on what they think coverage of Russia-Ukraine articles on Wikipedia is.
While several participants surmised that the Russian or Ukrainian governments could have been
involved in the disruption surrounding the war-related articles, none said that they had any direct
evidence of such involvement. Participants tended to assess the disruptive Russia-aligned editors
as private individuals with nationalistic, pro-Russia views rather than paid, state-backed trolls.
Participants considered discerning the intent of a disruptive editor to be difficult, often surmising
that Russia-aligned editors might be individuals who consume primarily Russian state media.
• P01: “I am inclined to think that this is just individual, independent people who have a pro-​
Russian position and who genuinely doubt certain things that are said to happen on the war,​
which is very clear proof of the effect of Russian disinformation.”​
• P02: “I would say it’s very hard to distinguish between actors who are probably being financed​
by the Russian state to insert misinformation, and people who are maybe just watching Russia​
Today and being a bit brainwashed.”​

The wikipedia article for heartbound (the unfinished game by fat gay lolcow Jason Thor Hall / PirateSoftware) has been deleted for not being notable and being created by Jason himself under his Thorwich alias.

The deletion nomination got some people upset and caused editor Tytrox to "retire" from "wikistress" after he started and lost a pointless slap fight.
