Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

Since the WPO thread has been locked, I should perhaps revisit the question posted above of whether or not the Holocaust Law was in fact used in the lawsuit over Dalej jest noc as suggested by the following citation: In the case of Grabowski and Engelking, a civil lawsuit was filed by the Polish Ant...

Re: Wikipedia is dying, slowly

Worth highlighting this part.... brand health is weak among young audiences in our key revenue countries, presenting long term fundraising challenges. 18−24-year-olds are generally less likely to consider the brand, use it, or recommend it to their friends.

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

I think it was boredbird who was convinced that ArbCom was making a mistake in how they treated Piotrus. Here is a removal of content that popped up on my watchlist. Piotrus's edit summary: " I don't think this is correct - not seeing this particular law mentioned in the cited source?" In 2019, his ...

I was struck by something Grabowski says in that interview (that he went to the police immediately after receiving online threats concerning the paper about Wikipedia).

The report I have is that you contacted someone through Whatsapp to recommend WikiExperts, who then charged someone $15,000 for an article in Wikipedia. I am asking you becau...

Re: Research Article: Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

-For Wikipedia (WMF), Damage has been avoided simply by biding time and circling the wagons long enough for the press to move onto more ripe click-bait. That said, one of the Arbs hinted that ArbCom may have been pressured into doing something if they wished to avoid a new Vol de MareGate. (These t...
