Re: Will Wikipedia's gloating editors be killed by far right nut jobs?

The last death threat I saw was an editor making one against the Indian courts who are suing Wikipedia. Well?........ It was a bomb threat from a supposed Canadian editor to India media companies. Possibly a false flag on the editor who supposedly sent the email. https://x.com/hindupost/status/1858...

Re: Will Wikipedia's gloating editors be killed by far right nut jobs?

But srsly folks......has anyone seen any open threats by rightists against Wikipedians recently? Been watching Xshitter but have seen nothing obvious. Banning @ihatewikipedia last year killed off a lot of argumentation. Musk or no Musk, X is still crawling with WPers and their fans. The last death ...

Re: Elon Musk re-offers Wikimedia 1 Billion USD to rename Wikipedia to "Dickipedia" for a year

You got it. They are far more similar than they are different. Libertarian "free speech for me but you shut up" whiteboy nerd types looking to screw society out of billions of dollars. Both fell for the "tech will save the world" propaganda of the 1990s. Major differences: Wales was a big fat failu...

Re: Wikipedia fanboys attempt to gaslight Lemmy mods into suppressing an anti-Wikipedia discussion

I notice many of their pages describing Wiki condct are gas-lit. What I mean by that there was the page on Wiki for example about cabals and the page was trying to convince readers that there i no cabal, except in the "conspiracy theory" mind of the reader. Total gaslighting. It just tries to cast ...

I hope Trump releases who her real employer is and what color revolutions she was involved in.

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.

The Justin Bieber "n-word scandal". TMZ bought a leaked tape of him saying it repeatedly while singing. TMZ then worked out a deal with his management and buried it for years. It would have ended his career if they didn't make a deal. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/02/22/inside-harvey-levin...

Barack Obama's college girlfriend and love letters where he fantasies about sex with men: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-styl ... 06683.html

I don't know if their should be an article on Alex McNear or on the collection of love letters.

Re: Articles Wikipedia should have--but doesn't.

There are pop culture magazines from the 1970s which are missing. Some of them had sections where teenagers could meet rock stars. Quite creepy.

Some are listed here, but don't have articles.
