Editor’s note: A fine piece of journalism on the takeover of Wikipedia by leftist thought police, intent on purging any availability through it of certain dangerous conservative sources. Our satirist friend Oleg Atbashian of the People’s Cubesuffered banishment because the last thing leftists have is a sense of humor about themselves.
Because of his suppression, he was contacted by a journalist from a Dutch language Belgian news site in Brussels called Sceptr. That writer, Jonas Naeyaert, produced the article below, translated into English, through the efforts of Oleg and a Dutch-speaking friend with the help of Google Translate:
An influential group of Wikipedia editors decided last week no longer to accept the British right-wing newspaper ‘The Daily Mail’ as a reliable news source. The organization behind Wikipedia (The Wikimedia Foundation) claimed initially that it had no hand in this decision.
Such cases are usually decided by an online discussion, in which each Wikipedia member can participate, but the final call is made by the more experienced ‘editors’ of a higher grade (called “closers”). In order to climb up the ‘Wiki hierarchy’ and be a ‘closer’, you have to be nominated by other members based on your previous work for the website.
As a result of the above decision, articles from The Daily Mail can no longer be used as evidence of “notability,” which is the main criterion for admitting a topic on Wikipedia.
Fake Encyclopedia.
They think Daily Mail is “right wing”?! I guess in Prickipedia’s view anything just a couple of degrees to the right of extreme commie leftist is considered “right wing”. 🙄
I use infogalactic if I need info like that, which is a bit rare.
I’ve found Wikipedia useful for technical stuff but I’ve known for years not to bother with anything political, economic, or otherwise ideological. In those areas, the articles are laughable and useless.
Alinda’s a special kind of tard. I love the dollar sign at the end of the amount. It’s totes adorbs!!
Wiki?
No, Wakka Wakka, like fozzie bear…..
Screw them.
