Interestingly enough the talk page is quite good to learn about current events and see every view. Though it is obvious that some mods and admins have an agenda; to be honest I didn't even realize it till I saw the war over Kamala's wiki page, super shady stuff.
- creato 6y agoWhat are you talking about? I just skimmed the Kamala Harris talk page and it's all bickering about trivial edits as far as I saw.
- destxD 6y agoThis was just before she announced her candidacy, I saw some interesting posts on Reddit. I can't say for certain what exactly happened but it was just super fishy.

(check other discussions also) I hope that gives a good starting point. PS: I don't have a horse in this race, I just know my trust in wikipedia was shaken.

They acted slower than fast paced politics, but ultimately seemed to do the right things.
