Re: What are the best alternatives to Wikipedia?
Wikipedia depending on who you ask, is really only good for general overview stuff. Apart from a minority of articles, it's seemingly been declining in quality for a number of years because the number of "smart people" who were willing to invest their time has been declining.

Re: I just got an indefinite block in retaliation for archiving an admin's warning on my talk page
This other editor just left a message in my talk page (but they just were using an IP address) quite condescendingly said to me that if intend to continue editing Wikipedia then I must learn why a particular edit is full of problems (basically, they said that I made a link dump, for which they flat ...

Re: I just got an indefinite block in retaliation for archiving an admin's warning on my talk page
How common is it for Wikipedia administrators to put an indefinite block on a user in response to the user not directly acknowledging the administrator's warning in their talk page?

Re: What are the best alternatives to Wikipedia?
I don't know if you're going to agree with this observation, but do you think that one of the biggest problems with Wikipedia is that some "editors" are extremely territorial? In other words they seemingly really don't care about facts. They actually care about being in charge of this or that page. ...

How do you define doing more "damage" to an article?
When I got my indefinite block, the administrator behind it said that it was to prevent me from committing further "damage" to the articles that I was recently working on. This is despite the fact I wasn't committing vandalism (which seems a more fitting reason to use that word) and the edits that I...

What are the best alternatives to Wikipedia?
I recently signed up for Everipedia . This is how it's described : Everipedia is “Everyone’s Encyclopedia”. “Everipedia offers a space for you to dive into anything you find interesting, connect with people who share your interests, and contribute your own perspective.” The about page does not provi...
