Wikipedia Sucks!

So, naturally, the owner of incels.is/sanctionedsuicide (or a one degree separated proxy for him), set up shop as the main editor of the [[Sanctioned Suicide]] article. (User:Kevinsanc on Wikipedia) It's a single purpose account which kept trying to scrub stuff about the founders, for two months daily.

This I can believe. The [Sanctioned Suicide] article is being controlled by the operators of the forum--too obvious. Only three accounts completely dominate the history: Kevinsanc, Freedom4u, and an IP address editor. They're basically using Wikipedia to advertise their stupid incel-rageboy hangout. And Wikipedia is letting them. Plus, the talkpage is full of hilarious squabbling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctioned_Suicide

The 2018-2022 owner of the forum (and possibly still the owner, named Small) has been legislating this whole thing daily on Kiwifarms, while going into Twitter fits (at @incelsco) whenever they didn't get their way on Wikipedia. He also was regularly giving updates about the wikipedia editing in the KF thread. Small admitted to being this account on Kiwifarms, wherein he taunts the mothers of dead children on his site, who were asking why he was trying to pin the sites on his brother.

The KevinSanc account notably removed the mention from the Wikipedia article that he or Small was falsely trying to pin the sites on Small's brother a couple years back. It is in that source though. One of the many dishonest edits he made today on there.

Wikipedia is missing "Yachay City" which is an abandoned fake Chinese development project; designed to spread influence, enslave, and skim money from poor countries like Ecuador.

Many of the Chinese projects are expensive, faulty, and ill-conceived, like the now-abandoned Yachay City in Ecuador and the troubled Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric project, built near an active volcano in that country. There are more than 17,000 cracks in the dam's eight turbines. That's what Ecuador gets for being "at the forefront of Beijing's push into the region."

https://www.newsweek.com/latin-america- ... on-1775772

But it does have an incorrect article about Yachay University;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yachay_University

And it is sort of updated about the Coca Coda Volcano Hydroelectric Project


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca_Codo_Sinclair_Dam

Ecuador's prosecutor's office on Friday requested former president Lenin Moreno be placed under house arrest for allegedly receiving bribes from a Chinese firm in exchange for a contract to build the country's largest hydroelectric dam.

Moreno, who was president from 2017 to 2021, and 36 others are suspected of receiving about $76 million in bribes, "the highest amount prosecuted for acts of corruption" in Ecuador, according to the prosecutor's office.

Social democracy is one of the worst major articles I have ever seen. The whole article is wildly inconsistent due to edit warring and constantly conflicts itself. It has like a million references, but isn't consistent at all and describes many unrelated or different things. The article is heavily conflicted on whether it is a variant of socialism or a mixed economy, and the lede is regularly changed to fit the narrative of the author. Some of the article describes socialism, other parts describe mixed economies, and a few parts just describe welfare. Overall, garbage article.

Social democracy is one of the worst major articles I have ever seen.

The vast bulk of which was written by Davide King. An ADHD dweeb I've seen many times before. Obsessively edited articles about professional wrestling--and later switched to fighting over left/right wing politics. Obviously hates the current Italian prime minister for being too right-wing and anti-immigrant, I presume. He's also a principal reason Mass killings under communist regimes is constantly editwarred. A close pal of the infamous Andythegrump. This is why editwarred articles don't get BETTER, just longer and more unreadable.

We have discussed Davide's grubby little ass before.
viewtopic.php?p=23564#p23564

And speaking of articles being made longer but not better:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomonument

It was a reasonable length, 6800 bytes, until a nut from the "South Caucusus" named Golden massively expanded it. Almost quadrupled in size in one edit. Gay and loves this monument deeply? Wrote a fanboy love letter for it--with good sourcing. Why? Does he want to have sexual relations with a giant stone triangle?

NONE of the other WP articles about monuments for homosexual history is this long and detailed. Even the most famous one, the Stonewall Monument, doesn't get an article that long.

(THAT article is pwned by Ryan "Epicgenius" Ng. He can't hide his face, or his love of Wikipedia. Nor the NYC subway.

I say this as a super proud Asian who thinks Ryan rocks ...I hope he has intercourse soon.

An attention seeker who changed his name to include references to spaceships and ancient astronauts is apparently worthy of a Wikipedia article and is not subject to even the slightest scepticism of whether this would be anybody's birth name. His claimed "surname" is basically a bad grammar space opera and the earliest source for it is a greetings card he sent to someone in the 1960s, despite him having been born in 1904.

People with achievements to their name beyond "I want to be infamous" don't have Wikipedia articles, yet this clown does.

A little-noticed example of how people fight over, and TRASH, articles about the often-lunatic politics of the Korean peninsula.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeonpyeongdo

Stupid island is only WP:ONE thing: the DPRK shelling it in 2010.

It would not be difficult to fix this with proper references (many of the ones listed are DEAD LINKS, as usual; and both the "external links" are dead). But what's the "reward" for repairing such an obscure article? You might find yourself fighting with someone who is paid to control the narrative.

Someday link rot will strangle Wikipedia. But since 99.99% of its readers never bother to check the references.....

What is WP:ONE? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ONE

Filed under CRAP with a smattering of "gay" (can you say gay).. and a dollop of total bullshit and crap. I reached peak annoyance with the stream of "click bait" fake financial articles this pose-er churns out on a daily basis. It is clear that he follows a formula to "make stuff up" as to get clicks;

Articles include "I only have $10 million dollars and a pension can I retire at 70"..

It's a joke "fake policy" that assholes routinely try to quote in AFDs when the want to delete a BLP of someone "marginally notable". The little turds do have an actual policy to link to--but are in too much of an ADHD hurry to look it up.

NEVER ever assume Wikipedia "policies" quoted in an editwar or AFD are sane or rational. Or that they even exist.
