Wikipedia has always been an untrusted source to be taken as "ones two cents." This has massively increased as I've seen blatant lies on different pages. Sadly, it appears to be massively biased and left leaning. Recently, I checked a page to learn a little bit and found outrageous false statements. It is opinion based, not fact based. Remember that before using this source.
VERY USEFUL SITE, WHETHER WE WANT QUICK OR ELABORATE INFORMATION. WE ALL HAVE USED IT EXTENSIVELY IN OUR LIVES INCULDING FOR SCHOOL ASSIGNMENTS. GRATEFUL.BUT I DISLIKE THE FORMAT OF HAVING AN ARTICLE FOR EVERYTHING. RATHER IT SHOULD BE LIKE A ENCYCLOPAEDIA, SHOWING VARIOUS DIVISION OF TOPICS, RIGHT IN THE MAIN PAGE. I ALSO DISLIKE THEIR BEGGING FOR PAYMENT FROM INDIAN READERS.
The website is useful for information, but the information and the system of censorship means that the information is not reliable. Wikipedia do not follow their published policies. It is not clear if this is intentional or due to systemic biases, but ultimately their system is currently broken, and the self-policing isn't fixing it.
After studying Wikipedia for a considerable length of time, there is only one conclusion that can be drawn: Wikipedia is the new Ministry of Truth and an affront to digital democracy.It makes no difference if your edit contributions are constructive, neutral, or destructive. It doesn't matter if you are a decent editor or a vandal. It even doesn't matter if you follow the rules or not. The establishment is a hive mind that will treat you as a "threat" just because it can and all while using "security" as an excuse for terminating your account and keeping it terminated.So no matter how long you edit or how much support you give, WIKIPEDIA WILL ALWAYS JUDGE YOU BY THE COLOR OF YOUR PROFILE (i.e., block logs, SPI reports, etc.) and never by the quality of your contributions. Wikipedia discriminates by blocking and/or permanently banning "enemies" (i.e., editors who care about facts and challenge arbitrary authority) all while touting itself as an "encyclopedia that anyone can edit".Don't agree? Then conduct the following test:1) Open the English Wikipedia to the entry on the Proto-Greek language. Notice that the article contains laughably outdated scholarship that is treated as if it's current.2) Click the edit option and replace the existing html code with the html code from the more factually accurate version of the same entry timestamped 20:26 12 December 2022 (or 20:32 11 December 2022).3) Click on the blue button to publish everything and then watch as your edit gets undone by another user who will classify it as "vandalism", "sockpuppetry", and/or "meatpuppetry".Still don't agree? Then look up what happened to User:MastioDziwkioDerbioBlizkio whose only "crime" was putting back a better version of an article about the kithara, a Greek instrument, on 07:35 8 December 2022.And don't bother contacting any oversight division in Wikipedia because the people there will just tell you to go somewhere else and offer no help.As for Wikipedia administrators, their continued corruption has proven Larry Sanger right since they claim to "fight the good fight" against vandalism but in reality are vandals themselves.Don't agree? Look up User:Future Perfect at Sunrise (sock account of User:LukasPietsch), a Wikipedia administrator who outed himself years ago as Lukas Pietsch on Google Groups. Who is Lukas Pietsch? An English language scholar from the University of Hamburg who thinks it's "so cool" to "argue against the use of scholarly sources, misquote other people's work and misrepresent historical facts in order to push [his] view in wikipedia" (his words, not mine; go to forum thread #24326 on Wikipedia Review for more info).That Lukas Pietsch is now the "go to guy" of what an anonymous editor calls the "SS Skanderberg sock circus" (i.e., Albanian ultranationalists) speaks volumes as to how much Wikipedia has fallen.Lastly, NEVER donate money to Wikipedia, or even the Wikimedia Foundation, because it has become "Trashpedia" and aptly described as such (read Subhash Kak's "Wikipedia or Trashpedia?", 2019).But is there any way to fix Wikipedia? The answer is "no" unless: A) Larry Sanger replaces Jimbo Wales as head of the Wikimedia Foundation and reforms Wikipedia, or B) Elon Musk purchases the Wikimedia Foundation, fires the entire administrator class, fires the Board of Trustees, and lets the free market relegate Wikipedia to wherever it deserves to be. It will be a cold day in hell though if either of those two things happen.
