Cory Doctorow has a word for the phenomenon: enshittification.
Look at how cute you're trying to deflect and gaslight away from the fact that you're not reacting well to the hard truth that Wikipedia is not a "magical platform" after all, especially by committing so-called "psychological projection".
One of the main point of the comparison is the parallel between churches in the 50's and Wikipedia of today; you would've been summarily dismissed as an "atheistic commie bent on destroying the country" if you lift a finger against churches in the era, especially at the height of McCarthyism. The same is happening to critics of Wikipedia today, with people like you dismissing them as "far-right obscurantists bent on destroying knowledge", which is the essence of strawman fallacy.
You clearly displayed your naivete right there when you summarily dismiss accounts which are solely used to expose any scandals in any companies or organizations as "narrow minded"; are you ten? Perhaps you should go sit at the kids table and cry a river there.
You would've said the same about Apple and so on if this was the late 2000s.
By the way, there should be a second Internet Archive because currently the original one is getting under siege from copyright lawsuits, and unlike the WMF they're running on budget money. In contrast to Wikipedia, I found the people there are kind and nice.
What are people supposed to think?
Stop thinking about Wikipedia as a "magical platform" and start thinking it as just another institution which are prone to human errors. It's because of Google that Wikipedia has become a suffocating monopoly which escaped consequences every time somebody wants to vibe check it, until now.
Has that been the reason you hate Wikipedia this whole time, they’re too honest about genocide?
With all due respect, the pro-Palestinian side has been griping about Wikipedia as well. You're clearly trying to pigeonhole people so that you can dismiss all the concerns that the so-called "magical platform" has a ton of issues after all.
The Detroit News has syndicated the content in case you can't get past the paywall. Have a nice day.
I interpret this as a systemic issue (procedure, they) which happens regularly or always (procedure, anyone). It makes me imagine a wiki page "Vandalism cases on wikipedia" containing a table of cases with date, article, edit, and IP/account, existing for months or years frequented by wikipedia mods and admins.
That's right! That's exactly the format they used in these procedures, which sometimes branch over onto "sockpuppet investigations" casepages. The other day I approached an Europe-based digital rights lawyers group and they agreed with the assessment that these pages do indeed constitute violations of General Data Protection Regulation. The only problem is that they have to find a victim who's willing to be a complainant in order to initiate a formal complaint.
There are, but because of the brigading, to avoid stuffing the beans, I'd put this link to their "sockpuppet investigations" page instead so you can look into it further by yourself.
Ultimately, Eric Barbour of Metasonix has collected a trove of Wikipedia's affairs and scandals over the years which is only accessible through hard drive formats to journalists if asked. There's even a book which has yet to be published and which could be the Hollywood Babylon of Wikipedia.
Wow, that's miraculous!
It's impractical and unlikely, bordering on impossible. Deletionists have driven a lot of productive contributors out of the projects through shady tactics like "wikilawyering" and gaming the system. You can look at this essay by Gwern to see what I'm talking about.
