Even geographical (i.e. city, town, landmark, place) pages in Australia are absolutely wild…
Perhaps you’ve escaped that, for US cities, but, put it this way - if I’m looking for, say, the population growth rate of the City of Port Adelaide, I do not need to know about “the extermination of the traditional hunting grounds of the Kaurna people*, or, say, that “the City has a reputation for racist attacks and open discrimination”…
It is literally unreadable, now, for pages like that, which is thoroughly depressing…
Or, say, a bridge, over a river, where they change the name of both the bridge and the river because “the bridge is named after a raaaaaaacccciiist” and “the river should be called its (entirely made up, in the last decade) Indigenous name”…
That’s how bad it is, for Australian sites, man… 🤦🏻♂️
In their eyes, they're not lying to you, they're just presenting data in a way that makes them look sparking clean, and data for the people they don't like as unwashed heretics who have to be guided.
Wikipedia saying something is disinformation is all kinds of irony.
