What's your opinion on Wikipedia?

It has its flaws but I do find it a noble cause, despite how creepy Jimmy Wales is.

If the subject has ANY political value, it is given a far left slant.

The use the neutral subjects to give the political propaganda credibility. Their bullshit about Man Made Global Warming was an epic example of how wikipedia lies.

It's socialist bullshit. Information shouldn't be free.

>If the subject has ANY political value, it is given a far left slant.

this isn't remotely true at all.

information is the only thing that should be free

Why is it the same picture every damn time? It's like House or that President guy from Fallout.
Does this guy not take other pictures? Is he really just a robot?
They paraded Zuckenstein around to prove he's not just a robot head but a fully functioning android. What about this guy? He took one picture now we're supposed to get familiar with it like he's our gay uncle?

lol

I felt betrayed because for some reason some cunt wrote that Black Sabbath Solitude was sung by Tony Iommi
What a load of bullshit
You can't trust anything there

How the fuck do people who do intellectual work owe you a damned thing?

doing their work

I use it to look up random shit like info on countries or whatever. Anything that can be warped by a subjective interpretation is taken with a grain of salt, but yeah I use it for random objective stuff.

No the problem is reality, science and facts often do not back up your stupid beliefs.

Just another example of decent white people trying to create something and getting subverted by kikes and their golems.

>What's your opinion on Wikipedia?
Any article from wikicrapia is useless without well vented sources. If you pay attention to what is cited you'll learn pretty quickly how much of it is questionable. If you read the history of the articles you'll see a definite leftist slant on everything.

Use with extreme caution

but who pays for the researchers?

It's great for non-political stuff. If you're reading politics on it, you better check the sources, as the people who have wrote the article might've read the source incorrectly.

>It has its flaws
You've got to be fucking joking! "It has its flaws"?
Biggest propaganda pseudofact site on the internet and "it has it's flaws"!!!
Go fuck yourself.

So says the retard who unironically believes there are sixty human genders and only one race.

>vetted

I use it to catch up on celebrities, mainly.

>If the subject has ANY political value, it is given a far left slant.

surprisingly untrue... I mean I haven't done a ton of research on the matter but I do recall recently looking up something on there (can't remember what) and anticipating it being heavily biased to the left, and it wasn't.

That being said, if there is bias, it's to the left. It would never be biased towards the right, unless you'd consider being biased towards truth/science being biased towards the right (ie. "XY means you're a male" - holy fuck look at this Nazi bias).

wales is a pseudo intellectual faggot, so basically a lib

>The Gamergate controversy concerns issues of sexism and progressivism in video game culture, stemming from a harassment campaign conducted primarily through the use of the hashtag #GamerGate.

>The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loosely defined group of people with far-right ideologies who reject mainstream conservatism in favor of white nationalism. White supremacist Richard Spencer initially promoted the term in 2010 in reference to a movement centered on white nationalism and did so according to the Associated Press to disguise overt racism, white supremacism, neo-fascism and neo-Nazism.

Wikipedia has a policy where media sources that are considered "credible" trump primary sources - in other words, if the virtue-signaling media wishes to characterize you differently than you do yourself, the media narrative is used. Go to the "talk" pages for these articles or other controversial issues and you'll find this.

I was writing the executive order on the wall for a Wikipedia sponsored class. That is, I was working directly with Wikipedia staff on the page on Jan. 29 when it came out. I spent the entire semester editing the page, making it nice, using sources from left, right, and middle wing sources in order to build a legitimately great article, and then the day after the class ended, someone deleted all of my work and I found a 2 year ban on editing any articles on my account. That was pretty eye opening and I don't use Wikipedia anymore for anything unrelated to hard science like chemistry and select biology.

Eh, it has its uses, simply don't look into politics or any other potentially controversial subjects.

...

Used to be a great resource until it got destroyed by jews sometime in the 00s

Autocorrect on my phone

I like it.

I just don't like that educators immediately condemned the website as being a bad source of information.

They didn't do the same for encyclopedia Britannica, which was basically the print and cd version of wikipedia.

What was the wikipedia page?

>It's socialist bullshit. Information shouldn't be free.
Wikipedia is proof that only disinformation and brainwashing is actually free:

I used to love Wikipedia. Now I don't trust it because any event can be edited and skewed to fit any narrative. People eat it up like truth because it's Wikipedia. Some articles are alright but you can't trust anything on there that has any controversial political or scientific topic.

>>If the subject has ANY political value, it is given a far left slant.
>this isn't remotely true at all.

It is partially true, though. For example read page about George Soros - there is almost no criticism of what has he done, if you dont know about him it gives an impression that he is some kind of a philanthrope.

Only place on the internet I can read about him without some libtard BAAWWWing or conservashit REEEEing the whole time
