I understand this is not an "official" Wikipedia list, but article in a community newspaper about Wikipedia. Yet, the notes about the list items are much more opinionated than I'd like or expect to see from Wikipedia authors.
- ChrisRR 2y agoWikipedia discussion and edits have always been a bit of a cesspool, but most people just don't look at them (especially when US politics is concerned)
- tux3 2y agoThe Signpost (the newspaper) is more or less "independent", it's meta commentary on Wikipedia within Wikipedia, but it's not subject to the same extremely strict rules as articles. There's opinion pieces, a humour section, it's really outside of the encyclopedia proper.

The site has absolutely become a partisan battleground in the last five years or so. Although Wikipedia historically never considered itself to be a source, some editors are aware that Google and other engines always show Wikipedia is the first result for many queries and are determined to use that power to manipulate narratives. https://www.piratewires.com/p/how-wikipedia-launders-regime-propaganda https://www.piratewires.com/p/how-wikipedia-launders-regime-...
