Dumb Shit on Wikipedia

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

I am sure the natives dindu nuffin to initiate that massacre as well.

"It's their culture", no really, it was. Basically they believed the missionaries in question, who were doctors and were vaccinating against smallpox, were insanely powerful shamans/witches because they had the latest in the white man's medical knowledge. This meant they were dangerous because they could turn this power against the Injuns one day, so a few tribesmen decided to kill them before that happened. Shit like this was common around the world (still is in parts of Africa), where people are terrified of skilled doctors because they believe they have magic powers over disease and other spirits.

Calling them "colonizers" is just a really dumb, one-sided take that oversimplifies things. Literally no different than the old-school "mighty white man killing savages and taming the land" which is also a gross oversimplification.

I'm getting real sick and tired of the natives dindu nuffin schtick. Moreso than the revisionist history of natives being peace loving hippies in tune with nature.

I have on purpose avoided anything even marginally Trump related on wikipedia because if he can be shoehorned into an article - always some negative reference or allusion - it will be in the most hysterical, stupid, unencyclopedic possible way. Rachel Maddow segments? Absolute solid source - seen her used by some of the 'top editors' on Russiagate related material.

As far as that comical 'war' infobox, notice that they tar the entire body of Save America rallygoers in that - which had to be thousands of people who left and never went near the capital. I will bet without looking that the talk page is full of shitlibs trying to make Donald Trump the 'lead figure' (though technically, as the head of the federal government, he should be where they have Pence now).

Notice that they still have that policemen's death listed up there, even though he died of a stroke overnight under unclear circumstances and was fine the night of Jan 6. The fictional 'beaten to death with a fire extinguisher' death was nice and convenient for political purposes however.

As an aside, it's telling how dumb shitlibs are about neo nazis. Many of them never liked Trump, and those that did were quick to find an excuse to start blackpilling about him and claim he was controlled by Jews. The idea that they were some notable participant there is ridiculous.

The amount of Trump related articles are absurdly high. It's ridiculous the essay articles they'll write on him sourcing media articles that source each other or worse- anonymous sources (AKA journos wanted to stir up bullshit).

You should see the Wikipedia pages of people who surpport Trump. They treat them as negative as possible

The noble savage concept is just as blatantly idiotic as the past narrative of every savage being evil and out to kill the colonialist, and yet we've been subjected to it endlessly and the old narrative is beat into dust and then into atoms over the years. As long as intersectionalists run education this will not change.

Got some examples? When I wrote that, there was one guy I was thinking of who was mostly a low key editor sticking to trying to keep anything Russiagate fact-free and free of Rachel Maddow level shit (mostly not able to do it) and almost everything he did got reverted. I don't think this particular guy edited anything but secondary articles. In the bigger articles I imagine it's brutal.

Vinyl can only record as well as the machine that's recording the audio, and even then it has to be of a specific format to work with all players, and it's limited to two channel audio when digital audio can have more. I don't think it's technically truly lossless, just analog.

Oh I misunderstood you, I thought you meant the editors who were seen as Trump friendly or at least, not 24/7 seething about him. Some of the talk page drama about Trump coverage could be interesting, if not just for the nerd slapfights.

Oh no problems. I was referring to celebrities or just random people who surpporting Trump. They paint said people in some of the most negative light I have seen.

I think this is a mistake on their ministry of truth correction. It seems it redirects and the url changes back again to it's current (less accurate) title.

Another such example, header says conspiracy theories, article says controversy. I wonder if any other contentious elections are titled controversy and this isn't a lazy attempt at astroturfing.

There are hundreds of thousands of redirects at all kinds of titles. For example if you go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_GDP it will redirect to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States. Usually they will be created for misspellings or plausible alternate search terms. They also happen when a page gets moved (like Kyiv, which used to be Kiev).

It's not some huge mystery, you can see this all in page history, people get into autistic political arguments about what a page should be named (and libs usually win)

That one seems reasonable enough, I'd assume GDP and general economy could be merged into one article.

This is just stupid and reeks of trying to be as partisan on Ukraine as possible. Kyiv is the endonym for Kiev, if we start doing this then we need to start changing other city names.

Are there any good alternatives to Wikipedia with a similar easy to view UI without the overly libshit bias? Wikipedia is clear proof you need actual moderation on who can edit articles and what is used as a source when shit like Vice news can be found being cited.

They apparently consider use of Kyiv vandalism.

Yet it currently is used on the article. I'm curious how many admins/moderators on Wikipedia don't like the leftist shit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:125.239.145.26 This is from 2014 but a fedora tipper throws a tantrum and gets banned somehow despite the fact that all the admins and users arguing with him agree with him and are also fedora tippers?

The IP template that they put on IP users where they threaten to contact someone's ISP because they don't like your edit is really screwed up.

Can't believe no one mentioned how Dehli Safari inspired the American Revolution and MLK's civil rights activism. What a failure of an "encyclopedia."
