Re: Proposal for Closing Wikinews

It means that HTD is no longer just theoretically possible, but within practical reach. I predict that Wikipedia might be replaced by better platforms by the end of this decade.

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

Piotrus, who was allegedly the perpetrator of Holocaust distortions on Wikipedia, wrote a rebuttal "disputing the methodology and conclusions of the study". https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17504902.2025.2511459 At a glance it gives off a feeling of being a hit piece against Icewhiz inst...

Re: What I am doing to save this site.

But quality over quantity, all the time. Deletionism often leads to systemic biases, which ironically means a decline of quality. But the vast majority of articles are stubs that are left to rot. In the age of deepfakes, lies are just as likely as to result from the absence of info than the presenc...

Re: What I am doing to save this site.

😢 "Preemptively closing this before it becomes a complete circus. Throwing out a bunch of vague thoughts that are a mix of unrelated to Commons, non Commons-specific, utterly unworkable, exceedingly unlikely to be accepted by the community, and bereft of useful detail is not the way to start a prod...

Re: What I am doing to save this site.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Rebuilt_Wikimedia The intention is good but more likely we'll see a soft reboot of the knowledge market as Wikimedia will be subsumed by multiple platforms such as HandWiki and Justapedia in the future, like how the League of Nations was replaced by the UN after WWII...

Re: Do not frequent some certain default subs if you don't wanna get banned while criticizing Wikipedia on Reddit

At the risk of repeating myself, I repeat myself: CHOOSE ONE SUBREDDIT AND PUT ALL YOUR EFFORT INTO IT. Nothing is accomplished by making 5 or 6 subs with the same focus, then letting them die out due to lack of interest. One more thing, if you still have the access to your Reddit account please re...

Re: This perfectly describes Wikipedia's collapse

Alt right influencers panning Wikipedia for being too easily influenced by an editor with pedophilia leanings. https://x.com/echetus/status/1938243341982044306 A Wikipedia editor is currently trying to delete Grooming Gangs Scandal Wikipedia page. The same editor wrote a long article about why child...

Wikispeedia on Roblox

The WMF has somehow extended its foothold into Roblox by launching the Wikispeedia game. Ironically this would make virtual world protests against WMF possible. https://www.roblox.com/games/99320538920886/Wikispeedia-the-Wikipedia-Speedrunning-Game https://www.roblox.com/communities/35674579 I know ...
