Idk, it does speak to a potential flaw in wikipedia. What happens in a situation where, for whatever reason, the "authoritative sources" are reporting falsehoods? (Not meant to be a comment on gamergate specifically)
- thinkingemote 6y agoWikipedia say that they do not intend to be unbiased. It's enough to report on something as a fact if a number of independent news articles reports them as true. Wikipedia doesn't (and shouldnt) do original research. These policies are great for the vast majority of current affairs but fail in a few edge cases where news reports align together on the same message. For current news and culture war stuff, consider the articles to be re written in the future when memoirs, PhD theses, documentaries and historians look at what happened.
- morelisp 6y agoNo, it speaks to how successful GG was as a propaganda tactic that anyone still thinks it was anything but targeted harassment, despite the extensive work put into documenting the evidence it was nothing but targeted harassment.
