Africans never inventing the chair until whitey showed up is totally irrelevant to the article about the chair and must be removed from the page NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW, but shoehorning in muh covid on the page about fucking banana bread? Nah that's fine dood.
 
Ah, fuck. I guess I'm back here once again to call out one of my favorite pet peeves. A callback to my quote several months ago:
It doesn't help either that a bunch of their featured articles display open, blatant favoritism in the selection process towards certain users and admins such as the admin Premeditated Chaos with her autistic obsession over Alexander McQueen
And the featured article today, which to no surprise is....

And, rounding up the usual suspect.

There's even more if you scroll up on the editing history.
Wikipedia never fails to undercut the actual editors with how much nepotistic bias they're showing towards their admin with the amount of featured articles being churned out about her autistic obsession. May the eternal favoritism reign supreme!

I'm not going to go through revision by revision changes, you can if you want to. But I'm mostly gonna post stream of consciousness style. Some man wiser than me told that books about history tell more about the time they were written than the actual historical subject, which I thought was very profound. Kind of obvious, perhaps. In Soviet historiography, much emphasis was given to peasant revolts, Soviet schoolkids learned about Spartakus at young age. Before civil rights, slavery was depicted in Southern school books as semi-benign institution (at least ones written by Ulrich B. Phillips).

I don't think I need to belabor this point. To come back to the original link: Go back a few years of the article, and you'll see a semi valid article about numerous contacts of Arabs and Nazis. I mean, it's just a fact. But now that you read it, due to recent...occurrences, there's new narrative of Nazis oppressing the arabs, and proud Arabs fighting the Nazis (Article images depict an Iranian gassed by the Nazis and Muslim members of French resistance). Now the narrative of antisemitic arabs has changed into proud oppressed PoCs fighting racists (nazis and zionazis).

I'm not even a philosemite, I just find how malleable the historical consensus is a fascinating thing.
 
I notice the same image occurs twice in this article, with different captions:
View attachment 7717043View attachment 7717044
It is both the first and the last image in this article. I don't know if there is a policy against duplicating images but there probably should be.

The "over emphases on this image" link in the first caption goes nowhere. It is an internal link to #2022 but no such section exists.
See what I mean? Picture of Arab Leader and Hitler meeting = Bibi bad.

Which he is. But not for getting in a slap fight with other Jews about how to politicize Holocaust in the most effective way.

"How Wikipedia Whitewashes Mao"

Jul 29, 2025

Wikipedia spent a long while building up a store of goodwill and trust. Now, motivated editors burn that trust by doing things like spending a decade transforming the site’s presentation of Mao’s legacy from condemnation to hagiography. [...] In 2025, as far as Wikipedia is concerned, the legacy of one of the worst mass murderers in history is now that of “a political intellect, theorist, military strategist, poet, and visionary.”
