After their shitty gamergate article that their head honcho knew was trash didn't get fixed I remain convinced that he is receiving big money from activist groups. Colleges in the US were giving students credits for making Wikipedia more feminist for fuck sake, they infiltrate so many things that it makes perfect sense to do so on such an important site, and the fact that he does fucking nothing about it despite knowing what's going on to me screams bribery.

Do Wikipedia seriously see themselves as the end-all of all information on the internet? I always thought of Wikipedia (and Wikis in general) as the fast-food of knowledge.

Why not, that's how a lot of people see them. The fucking public discourse has been lowered considerably by fucking twats who only look at the Wikipedia and never bother to look at anything else

I've noticed that Academia went from "Wikipedia is a joke and not a credible source of info" to "Actually, [our fake] studies show Wikipedia is super duper accurate!"

Jimbo had to get divorced because he was fucking all kinds of women he met through his "job". There was the case of journalist Rachel Marsden that he boned in exchange for sanitizing her Wikipedia page and protecting it.
