Right on. Consider also contributing to an article. Volunteers work tirelessly to filter the misinformation pushed by stakeholders like Elon Musk and the army he can afford to employ to fuck up articles full-time.

It’s hard, however, to deal with people acting as individuals who just happen to be paid by Apartheid Manchild to write or edit articles slanted to his fucked-up worldview.

Thanks for donating! I give annually too. But we’re going to have to step up our contributions, both financially and in terms of information, if we want to keep Wikipedia a resource for free information and not free propaganda. Megacorps like EM’s and their lobbyists are always fucking up articles, trying to outpace the volunteers who vet the information.

Just look at the Consumer Brands Association or the National Restaurant Association (the lobbying groups who are responsible for suppressing ultra-processed food regulation and fair wage legislation). Among their claims on the Wikipedia pages are that Michelle Obama “asked for their help” for her healthy eating campaign and that they exist to encourage responsible food selection by consumers— referring to sources that are actually about MO issuing a warning to them to improve food labels or else.

Another example is the Scientology page which has been locked due to the relentless efforts of Scientologists constantly trying to edit it with misinformation. Maintaining the integrity of the platform is really a tireless service that volunteers of Wikipedia Foundation provide.

For those who may not be able to donate or want to take additional steps to protect the freedom of shared information, consider contributing to an article you’re passionate about. Platforms like Udemy and Coursera offer free courses on how to research and verify information effectively. While I’ve always been a strong advocate for public libraries, it’s clear that Wikipedia is the essential resource when it comes to current and accessible knowledge.

Now they’re openly admiting that they’re against everything that makes the live better for everyone?

always have been

A better life is a “woke” idea.

I think this is just a case of unclear UI. This is the default stance of the meter, before you’ve entered a vote. After you vote it shows the most common answer underneath the meter.

I voted just now, and the most common vote was “fair/center”.

Note how the needle is also off the meter, instead of pointing at one of the segments.

Btw.

In January 2024, David Rozado, an associate professor in computational science at New Zealand’s Otago Polytechnic, published a study that found: “Wikipedia was more likely to portray right-leaning figures negatively than their left-leaning counterparts.”

The real question is not whether Wikipedia is biased, but whether it’s fair. In politics not everybody is equally right. And there are some real shit heads on the right. In other words Elon Musk is not entitled to a positive Wikipedia page.

It’s a super power. No ordinary person could do it this much.

I’m not, only because I’ve never once been in awe of any damn thing that piece of shit has ever done stolen credit for, and don’t intend to start now.

This too is greed. Wikipedia is too accurate, and he doesn’t want the truth to be remembered.

He’s being filed by a constant stream of validation from musk simps, yes men, now the next POTUS, so he thinks he’s unstoppable.
