I tried a couple of these Wikis and it seems to link to WIkimedia
No they're not, they are hostile competitors. Show us the "links" to the WMF.

Re: The (new, straight-from-scratch) Trump thread

Good. Hope they go to Chapter 11. Then I will be able to buy a Model 3 for dirt cheap and slap FUCK ELON stickers all over it.

https://www.404media.co/photographers-are-on-a-mission-to-fix-wikipedias-famously-bad-celebrity-portraits/ And many of those bad, ancient photos were taken by David Shankbone in NYC in the 2006-2016 period.

Re: Sanger goes full Christian

Musk is very rich which doesn't make him right about anything in particular or likeable and definitely not cool.

Re: ChrisChan pregnant?

a great example of KF doing good works is keffals, who claimed to be harmed by mean internet words and she turned out to be a liar and grifter, which could explain why she wanted rid of KF. Yep....no one in the Keffals story looks like they have the "moral high ground". KF would probably collapse i...
