Re: New blog post "Wikipedia: Sources & Methods"

I saw the initial draft and I reckon the end result is probably more accessible. I have no real opinion on whether this research is very accessible, indeed it is probably more of a starting point since it is no way complete (yet).

Re: Kupdung

It's called gaslighting, and it's a popular tactic on some parts of the internet. Simply deny what is blatantly true, even in the teeth of evidence on the same screen as your denial.
