Re: The Decline of Wikipedia
It doesn't help that no author is listed, and academized.com is an "essay writing service", not a "media" site.
This article looks like someone's AI assemblage, frankly. Appears to have scraped material from old Wikipediocracy threads, and possibly from threads on this forum. It's badly dated too: their "vital articles" list is up to 50,000, not 10,000 (a list that ALMOST NO ONE looks at; don't start me on their permanent inability to devise a general-purpose subject index.)

Re: The Decline of Wikipedia
Yeah it looks odd, considering the content compared to the date. I suspected as much and wanted to see if I'm not alone. Guess not. I know adminship is still on the down.ericbarbour wrote: ↑Thu Jul 03, 2025 5:43 amIt doesn't help that no author is listed, and academized.com is an "essay writing service", not a "media" site.

How about editor participation? Any changes in those?
