So, it would appear that there wasn't already a thread about this on here, so I'm getting one started. This is a general megathread for posting stupid shit that you found on Wikipedia, including stupid misinformation and stupid drama.
I'll get the thread started with a few examples. For one, this recent "Did you know..." box could almost pass for a parody:
The article about Jex Blackmore appears to have been fully created about a month ago. March 29th when was when it stopped being a redirect, and was mostly what it is today. This is clearly an astroturfed-in art project from someone who has no talent, no skill, and is likely mentally ill. In other words, perfect for Wikipedo. With that said, you can tell that even the 
s who wrote the article know that this person is batfrick insane.
Here's some more recent drama, in which self-professed neurodivergent anarcho-communist Dronebogus calls a columnist a "transphobic wackadoodle" (in blatant violation of Wikipedia's so-called rules against personal attacks), then gets another user permanently banned for making very light anti- comments:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:LadybugStardust#May_2024
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ponyo#LadybugStardust
Much like Le Rebbit, Wikipedia has been completely overtaken by mentally ill activists in recent years.
Wikipedia is primarily edited by the same kind of people who post on Reddit (i.e. porn-addicted neckbeards/s), and this screenshot of Wikipedia's examples of "multiracial people" speaks for itself:
There is always drama surrounding Wikipedia articles about internet trolls, whether it's regarding G*merGate, Kiwi Farms, imageboards, or anything else. Recently, Wikipedia purged all references to Kiwi Farms "targeting" far-right users. The Wikipedo jannies - many of whom, again, self-identify as communists - declared that catboy/Nick Fuentes criticism from Kiwi Farms users is only "infighting" because the trolls are all, of course, far-right themselves.
Before:
After:
Before:
After:
Needless to say, it's hard to keep the "internet trolls are all Nazis" illusion around if they mention facts to the contrary. Having the fact that Kiwi Farms keeps threads on the likes of Nick Fuentes and Richard Spencer be public knowledge opens people up to asking "but why would they be fighting other far-right people if they're far-right themselves?" and we definitely can't have that!

So, here's the new "Did you know..." box:
Yeah, this is totally neutral, non-biased, and encyclopedic stuff.
The gemmiest Wikipedia scandal ever was probably the 2020 one where it was revealed that the entire Scots-language Wikipedia had been written by an American teenager not writing in Scots at all, but just doing an exaggerated caricature of Scottish-accented English. Try not to laugh when you read how the Scots-language Wikipedia article on the Loch Ness Monster described said monster as a "wee muckle beastie".

So I was once the owner of /r/MeanwhileOnWikipedia and some related Wiki-type subs.
After awhile I had various, very invested factions contacting me to use these subs to forward their little Wikipedia causes. They spoke in terms I didn't altogether understand. Of course not, because I didn't stomp in that hood.
Anyway, If you've even been thoroughly disgusted with Reddit's dynamics.. lemme tell ya, Wikipedia is much worse. I didn't even dip my toes into it. Nope. It's a different thing.
These are like a kind of people that are just slightly smarter than True Crime folk, and with +160 dedication/addiction.

It's been reverted now, but I remember for the first two weeks after the Ukranian-Russo War of 2022 got underway, glowies were hard at work shittin' up all the wikipedia articles on the Soviet Union. I googled the usernames of the accounts behind the more egregious edits, and found puzzle game profiles elsewhere online with the same username, with their location listed as Washington DC (Smartest glowies). Which is funny because the accounts themselves pretend to be innocuous things like sports fan accounts, so they're practicing the literal bare minimum of OpSec.
It took a year or so for the wiki jannies to get around to mopping them up.

Nothing really interesting, just stuff like adding U.N criticisms to foreign policy interventions, like on the Brezhnev doctrine page they went "Uhmmm ackshully its illegal due to international law
" (the Containment doctrine page never had similar criticisms added).
But you could see sleeper profiles, posting like they have other interests, get activated on the few weeks following February 22nd and suddenly go about picking apart Russian history.

Wikipedia is best understood as "The world according to journos". Journos can and will lie shamelessly whenever it suits them, so expecting to get truth from that is foolish.
One look at whatever they've renamed the G*merGate article to this year should be enough to kill any confidence you might have in the site.

I periodically try get into wikipedia since I love neurodivergent
squabbling, but it's always such a landmine trying to get anything 
done and they have zero sense of an interested 
audience. You simply have to roll over if anyone gets too interested 
in fighting 
you or you end up banned, even if as in this user's case you have a decade long history, are inarguably in the right, and are willing 
to leave 
the issue at hand alone 
as long as the other guy doesn't win and smugpost.
All the old meta-articles are slowly rotting as people realise making notes
about how lame you all are doesn't amass political 
capital, but they're still quite fun to read as relics of a more civilised age.
A example of meta-r-sluration was when a few failed
academics (you can tell they failed 
because they edit wikipedia) decided fun word association wasn't rigorous enough.

Wikipedia is really just a battleground between differing factions to the point each faction tries to be on their own side and conquer. Some Polish nationalists got caught editing several Wiki pages on how all Poles were good Poles during the Third Reich and all helped Jews (don't ask them about the '45-46 pogroms).

The inherent problem with Wikipedia is that it's built upon consensus and expressing the normative views on things. This is fine for hard science, questionable for soft science, and terrible for current events. Sources for English Wikipedia are going to be more English speaking, and more privileged in every way possible because that's who becomes an academic or accredited journos. The globohomo bent and nightmarish bureaucracy is the only keeping Wikipedia pages from flipping between the most wingcucked positions every other day.

Hey, I saw that you just joined rdrama and a group of people who hate me are trying to smear my name by calling me a date male feminist. I just wanted to let you know that it's not true. If you want all the receipts proving it they're right here.
The TL;DR is that I hooked up with one of the hot girls on rdrama, and since I was twice her age, a lot of the guys here who wanted to bang her got jealous and assumed that the only way I could have managed that was by raping her, even though she herself said both before and afterwards that it was all completely consensual. So now that you're the new hot girl on rdrama, I guess they think that I'm going to somehow seduce you into flying all the way across the country (or some crazy shit like that) to hook up with me and they're trying to talk shit about me to make sure that doesnt happen. I don't understand it either, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm a nice guy and I hope you'll look at the evidence and make up your own mind instead of listening to all the jealous haters.
Anyway, with that little intro out of the way, welcome to rdrama! The culture's a little rough here and you're probably going to get tons of requests to β’show boobsU but if you talk to some of the women here first before engaging with all the creepy dudes, they'll give you some good advice to avoid stalkers and predators. Or (If you haven't been scared off by the rumor mill) you're welcome to ask me and I'm happy to help.
Just out of curiosity, how did you find this place?
