Wikipedia is evil and must be destroyed. I've made numerous attempts to try to work with them in order to edit and correct glaring factual mistakes, as well as blatant boldface bias on various biographies of Republican officeholders from Illinois.
What I have found is Wikipedia is a complete totally filled with hate filled Marxists children, and tin pot, petty dictators drunk with power, whose concept of fairness is distorted and corrupt and with out control. So, I am looking for advice on how to go about to diminish, destroy and neutralize Wikipedia. Any reasonable suggestion will be taken under advisement. For those who are pro-Wikipedia. All I have to say is this... there is nothing that you could say, do, or argue which would convinced me that Wikipedia has any merit, or good for the body politic or the Internet at large. It is my sworn belief that Wikipedia is absolutely a cesspool of evil. Thank you This post has been edited by Joseph100: |

Well, this is becoming one of the more interesting topics we've had in a while...
Wikipedia is evil and must be destroyed. I've made numerous attempts to try to work with them in order to edit and correct glaring factual mistakes, as well as blatant boldface bias on various biographies of Republican officeholders from Illinois. Illinois is actually a somewhat unusual state, politically speaking. It should really be two states, "Chicagoland" and "Illinois," i.e., not-Chicagoland. The non-Chicagoland part would be fairly solid Republican, I suspect, more like Kansas, Missouri, or Indiana... Anyway, Chicagoland always swings the whole state towards the Democrats in national elections, and the conservative types in the non-Chicagoland areas usually end up with US senators they don't like much, such as Dick Durbin, Carol Moseley Braun, and Barack Obama. Some of them - yourself included, I suspect - get rather P.O.'d about that! What I'm trying to say is that your specific issue probably isn't with Wikipedia as a whole - I suspect it's actually with a determined group of Chicagoland liberals and their WP allies who are fighting just as hard as their downstate counterparts to get what they want - even if it means fighting dirty. And they almost certainly have admin support on WP to achieve their goals. So while it's tempting to see Wikipedia in its entirety as the culprit here simply because the system allows this sort of thing to go on, let's be realistic - that's targeting indiscriminately when you really need to pinpoint things somewhat. QUOTE It is my sworn belief that Wikipedia is absolutely a cesspool of evil. "Cesspool" seems like an overstatement, and again rather indiscriminate - it implies that the people involved are swimming in evil (or whatever one wants to call it), when most of them are really just ignoring it or pretending it doesn't exist. I tend to prefer "system of evil" or "system that helps evil thrive." The real problem is that WP is too big (and unscalable), too easy to game, vandalize and manipulate, and impossible to manage in a fair and unbiased fashion. Those problems are inherent in the fundamental concept, which in turn, really has to change if it's ever going to get better. It's only "evil" to the extent that people refuse to recognize it and deal with it, in the face of clear and indisputable evidence of what's really necessary. And so on... |
