Wikipedia is a different place in 2024 than it was in the glory days of the Guerrilla Skeptics -- a lot of their friends are inactive or outright gone. The Creationism wars are over*, the Scientology wars are over. UAP/UFO people are mostly outside of WikiLand, doing their podcasts, running their websites, writing their books. People like Susan Gerbic are too annoying to deal with if you like the things she finds unscientific garbage (even though she herself
is not a scientist, she is a photographer by trade.) They can easily avoid Wikipedia, a site that now looks to outsiders like a very weird little club, like the Magic Castle in Los Angeles (the stage magicians' club/guild) or some crew of retired engineers who build and race replica Lotus 7 sportscars. Wikipedia only has power and prestige because the media and certain think tanks treat it with some respect; regular academia is still skeptical. RationalWiki does not help; it's like a skeptics' version of Encyclopedia Dramatica without the grossout imagery. I don't get why some of the UAP/UFO people are challenging Gerbic instead of running their own specialized Wikipedia -- Metapedia and Uncyclopedia prove that anybody with basic computing skills can run a Wiki.
