What an absolute load of horse$hit.  Could she virtue signal any harder?  [/quote]

This does kind of explain why Wikipedia has become so useless lately. [/quote]

DP. Disagree-it’s still useful to me. But I’m open to hearing examples if you have any. [/quote]

It’s hard to give examples of why I don’t trust Wikipedia because I feel like a lot of the issues are with having information missing. I feel like the editors are very selective on information they choose to add. So whereas I used to trust Wikipedia to give a fulsome picture of a topic, I now don’t. The information that is permitted is probably accurate and usually cited, but you can’t trust that all important or relevant information is provided. [/quote]

Pp here and thanks for this. I don’t really disagree, although my take is a little different. As a user not an Wikipedia editor, I’ve edited Wikipedia pages myself for topics I have a national expertise. In the past I’ve removed right-wing garbage about a topic, and added what I hope are neutral stats. Then whoever at a right wing think tank tries to put their stuff back in and I take it out again. So there’s potential political bias depending on whose edits are more recent. [/quote]
