Funny to see this. I personally ended up clashing with Ms. White on a Wikipedia edit I made which was sourced and pretty much common-sensically true. The experience of arguing with her and some other senior wikipedian high priests basically disillusioned me as to how Wikipedia is run-- I side more with Larry Sanger now on thinking that it's irrecoverably biased. Still a super useful site, but I do read everything there with a few more pinches of salt. Her touting Wikipedia as a success in this article is kind of funny then.
On a semi-unrelated note, why do so many people spend so many hours of their lives documenting the failures of NFTs? I see people wasting so much time on stuff like this site, when really it's totally inconsequential- just let fools gamble their money on meaningless tokens, there's not much more to it really. You don't see people picketing casinos.
- smsm42 5y agoThe good rule of thumb is you can trust The Wiki with all information that does not require very specialized knowledge (doing brain surgery based on Wikipedia is probably a bad idea) and is not connected to any current political or culture war controversy. If it touches the latter two, best you can do is use the links to the source material, while keeping in mind link selection would be heavily biased - and the bias in the text goes without saying. NPOV is a noble ideal, but the reality is very short of it on anything concerning politics or culture wars.
