A blog post can be sufficient reference.
The point is that Wikipedia isn't original research. You updating the page on the basis of personal knowledge isn't the way it is supposed to work.
- oxfordmale 3y agoYes, I am not necessarily disagreeing with this approach. The problem is the imbalance. A PR company can buy a news article, link it and update a Wikipedia page. It means the balance is in favour of big corporations and wealthy individuals.
- stevage 3y agoElsewhere in this thread people complain that the balance is all left wing.
- johnnyanmac 3y agocorporations are bipartisan pretending to be partisan. I'm liberal and don't doubt liberal-facing companies can and do do this.
- dlahoda 3y agoI added Dimon as short name for Dmitry in RU, referenced YT video with 40M views were Dimon was short name for Dmitry, video was named "He is not Dimon" for person with official name Dmitry, who was prime minister of Russia. I am Dmitry too btw, I know Dimon is also in Belarus. Was reverted as that was not reference to some book or sciene article. Never contributed after that. May be one or 2 graph theory improvements. Wiki denies realitity. And for math i use only 10% of my math requests.
