Honest thoughts on Wikipedia?

[Ytsuken]

I think that they have an overwhelming left-wing bias and they're not to be trusted, I'd even go as far as to say that in the GamerGate and Proud Boys articles even Conservapedia does a better job

Wikipedia is good for natural science and history (before 2000 or so), but I would not trust it when it comes to current events or political ideologies.

The people who write on political events and current happenings or controversial groups / sites are all pushing an agenda on Wikipedia .
See how they changed the cultural Marxism article to a >bigoted alt right conspiracy theory after cultural Marxism was getting negative attention and then moved the old article to a new page called “Marxists cultural analysis”.

Neoliberal propaganda. Though It's useful for things nobody disagrees on, like looking up what a table is.

I remember a lot of years ago when I was in grade 1 or so, we went to the computer lab and I went on Wikipedia trying to look up snakes, but I spelt it “sneks” and got really mad when nothing came up.

It's cultural marxist propaganda but ok

It really is super controlled though so maybe my teachers were right about wikipedia being a shit place to get information.

 

[basil]

i don’t like when people cite wikipedia as a source or when people say to look it up on wikipedia. it’s really annoying.

Even though its bourgeoisie propaganda.

It's good for getting a quick rundown on things, but you shouldn't rely on it as your only source of information.

 

[basil]

oh by the way, trying playing this game: if you know a LOT about one thing, like a lot a lot a lot, like more than expert. look up the wikipedia page on that thing, and see how many things are missing or just flat out wrong about that thing.

I think they had to permanently lock the Christopher Columbus article after millions of leftoids tried wrecking it

Also it's quite awful how they refer to troons by their (((preferred name and pronouns)))

Good for everything except politics. Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia it is a (and I quote) “general public consensus on topics”.
Metapedia is LE BETTER because it pushes my agenda and not stupid gay shit

I'd say Encyclopedia Brittanica is better, they still have a left wing bias but it's not nearly as bad

This is the best wiki though.

It’s not as bad as some people on the right will believe, like example I seen some retard on tiktok complain some retarded shit about it. The guy complaining was basically like this >why is the white power page saying it’s a racist movement but when I check the Asian and black power articles it says it’s not? it was basically that and I probably don’t need to state why that’s retarded but I will because racists are brain dead. there are some radical black groups but it’s pretty clear that the “white rights” movement is associated with the KKK and neo nazis so you shouldn’t be surprised that the general public sees it as that way.
(Im not denying there’s bias, the feds are heavily influencing it)

The feds most definitely are controlling it behind the scenes and since your required sometimes to source mainstream news it can be very biased and on a large scale but don’t think it’s entirety compromised there’s still some truth in it.
