Wikipedia Appeal
- lzw 16y agoI do not support wikipedia because you cannot correct errors and misinformation on that site. Editors who have apparently been around for a long time and got a lot of power by editing a lot of pages on wikipedia, will reverse edits that disagree with their preconceived notions. This was the situation on a page where I participated directly in the events in question, was a first hand witness, am a domain expert, and was simply stating facts. Reality disagreed with the editors ideology, and therefore, I was unable to correct the propaganda (which is what deliberate misinformation is.) While I will refer to wikipedia on occasion, I will not trust it for anything that could have a political bias (which includes the entirety of economics and finance) and will not give them any money. Nor will I attempt to edit to correct errors. Now I just laugh at them.
- ilkhd2 16y agoIt depends what you use Wikipedia for. As a source for political info it might be good or bad but you cannot rely on single source for this kind of information anyway. Math/physics articles are pretty decent, however.
- lzw 16y agoYeah, this was a page about a product. A product that leftists have an opinion about, but are generally pretty ignorant about.
