Wikipedia is terrible. It's pretty obvious a lot of it is literally just made up. Like some 60yo lesbian leftist decided to just makeup a story for some niche thing in history and blasted with everywhere. I've seen way too many patterns like this in Wikipedia. I wouldn't even be shocked to learn the government and major corps were using Wikipedia to test early editions of AI by making stuff up and seeing if people would notice or be able to correct for anything made up.
Wikipedia is useful for things that require hard facts but if you're reading anything that is even slightly subjective, it's brutally bad.
The January 6 and Gamergate articles are notoriously awful, as is the "White Replacement conspiracy theory" one. And I'm scared to even look up Yasuke.
I honestly find the Weatherman and Uncle Ted pages to be just as awful, endless excuses for the Weatherman and claims that they never killed anyone and painting Uncle Ted as Hitler incarnate, and even the first paragraph refuses to call the Weatherman far left while gleefully painting Uncle Ted as far right and no mention of him being an MK Ultra victim either last I saw. They're genuinely the most pathetic and contemptible people imaginable, Wikipedia jannies I mean.
