Are other Wikis such as JustPedia, ConservePedia & InfoGalaxy connected to Wikimedia?

I tried a couple of these Wikis and it seems to link to WIkimedia

Maybe I made a mistake but is that how it seems?

No they're not, they are hostile competitors. Show us the "links" to the WMF.

This is probably because they are using the same software and therefore there will be links to WMF embedded giving credit. This would be highly ironic if your only criticism was the technical aspect of wikimedia

the short answer is no. the software is called MediaWiki and is developed by the MediaWiki community as free software. the MW community does include lots of Wikipedians and people who work for Wikimedia Foundation. heres a link from MediaWiki that explains it better: link

well thats confusing. i cant get it to do that but Conservapedia keeps timing out for me, more or less. i was able to fight through it enough to see that only 50 new accounts have been created since September 20, 2022. it looks like Andy Schafly approves accounts since December 3, 2022:

Ha ha, that's some funny stuff. I think I know who is behind some of those accounts created just before Schlafly cracked down.

Notice that he created an account "BHathorn2". Billy Hathorn was a longtime WP obsessive editor that I wrote up for the book wiki. He is a Texan/Arkansasan who can't stop talking about Texas and Arkansas. Made a number of copyright mistakes. He was eternabanned from WMF projects after admitting on his talkpage he had been editing Conservapedia--and was banned by Schlafly. Billy always was sloppy and a little weird.....
Due to this incident with Conservapedia, I have denounced my conservative views in favor of a more liberal stance on society. After evaluating some of the things that I have been harsh on others for, I have found solace in the furry community, one of which welcomed me with open arms. Such practices have also led me into the act of cross-dressing, which I have been recently experimenting with. I find my new better self to be better than my previous toxic self that did not think straight, and I think I have made major improvements. I have taken great pains in fixing my behavior towards others and I hope to repair some of my broken relationships with other editors that I may have hurt. I am hoping that I can show this with the help of the community.
Need proof that Wikipedia is left-biased and caters to outsider communities? There you have some.

He ended with a "license revocation" comment, which is a terrible mortal sin in Wikiland. Probably why he was permanently locked out by the WMF. No one is allowed to take back their own writings--unless an administrator wants to delete them as "punishment".
To simplify efforts to find the copyright violations I perpetrated, I hereby revoke the license to use anything I have written on or uploaded to Wikipedia or Commons to-date. Now these pages can be deleted in their entirely without fear of violating my right to have my edits displayed. I promise if I am unbanned to no longer commit copyright violations of this or any nature and I am content with any restrictions that may be applied on me. Thank you.
