What else could you reasonably expect? Unanimity without discussion?
- mckn1ght 3y agoGP: “I do not see any annoying bias or editorializing on Wikipedia. Not even on sensitive or political subjects” (emphasis theirs) There is no unanimity being arrived at, it’s simply whomever has made the latest edit by the time a given person arrives at the page. Many people can read the “same” article and if they take it at face value, arrive at different conclusions. I didn’t state my expectations about how WP should function. I pointed out why I think GP is wrong.
- alkonaut 3y agoI see the edit wars. But I don’t see the suffering quality. A lot of posts on controversial topics quickly get locked down so the wars slow down too.
