Like nothing, there is no problem with it. Just leave it alone. This whole "oh god we're the sum of all human knowledge please give us money" tripe is a bit hard to swallow when there's more information getting deleted than being created.
- tptacek 13y agoThere are problems with it. The simplest problem is that the whole charter of WP is to cover notable topics with reliable sources; that's the idea behind the project and has been forever. One practical problem with it is that when none of your sources are independent or notable, disinterested parties can't fact-check anything, and the encyclopedia is only as accurate as cliques of interested editors choose to make it. Once again, your argument relitigates the whole concept of WP. You don't have to like the concept, but you can't pretend that their adherence to their own charter is somehow a sign of dysfunction.
- asdasf 13y agoAs I said: This whole "oh god we're the sum of all human knowledge please give us money" tripe is a bit hard to swallow when there's more information getting deleted than being created. If they don't want to be judged on that basis, then they need to stop making that claim. Say "we're a tiny subset of information that a particular clique of individuals approves of". Don't say one thing when begging for money and another when deleting useful content.
