The site engages in holocaust denial, apologia for wehrmacht, and directly collaborates with western governments. On the talk pages users will earnestly tell you that mentioning napalm can stick to objects when submerged in water constitutes "unnecessary POV", and third-degree burns are painless because they destroy nerve tissue (don't ask how the tissue got destroyed, and they will not be banned for this so get used to it). Jimmy Wales is a far-right libertarian. It might be a reliable source of information for reinforcing your own worldview, but it's not a project to create the world's encyclopedia. Something like that would at least be less stingy about what a "notable sandwich" is.
Citation needed.
As a Wikipedia editor I can comfirm - we regularly say that napalm sticking to objects in water is POV. I do it at least twice a week. I'll try making a bot to do it automatically so I'll have more time for holocaust denial.
I have been editing Wikipedia since 2004, and my very first edit was to deny a clearly POV edit to a sticky napalm article. It’s kind of a point of pride for me.
As a fellow Wikipedia editor I have confirmed that you are in fact the intern who kept making edits directly from the Capitol without even using a VPN.
Ah yes, you were personally insulted and now discredit the biggest collection of knowledge the world has ever had. Fuck you, you fool.
WRONG. You are thinking of the Quran 🙏🏻🤲🏻
Show me. That's a simple request.
No it doesn't
This is a very low-quality reply. Try making more high-quality replies to contribute to discussions here on Lemmy. Thanks!
Like this?
I don't care what that is, you post too much on here. I'm blocking and supplanting you.
Supplanting?
You’ll have to use smaller words for me, boss.
i think they need to use smaller words for themself because that is not the correct way to use that one
He's gonna be a good father to your children, take the garbage out. Stuff like that. Basic supplanting.
Cool I fucking hate taking the garbage out so that’ll be welcome.
Try not making shit up

Yeah endless waves of attempted edits to tone down war crimes is the tip of the iceberg, a subject I will circle back to in the coming days. This is a bizarre comment on several levels. So is he less right-wing because he is British? It doesn't matter if you enjoy particular sects of Ayn Rand worshippers, it makes no difference to me. The Gamergate business is the typical damage control response you see out of any site owner amenable to Nazis. Exactly like reddit admins. "We don't take sides against the right-wing ☝️🤓 they broke site rules fair and square." Typical bs. Nerds think everyone else is as singlemindedly gullible as them, invariably. Unfortunately the legal system demands people adhere to it
