Free online knowledge base displaced giants like Encyclopædia Britannica and Microsoft Encarta in the public psyche.
Maybe “visits” would have been the better term, I don’t think a lot of babies visit Wikipedia every month.
The german version is heavily censored in favor of zionists.
Lots of manipulation from CIA and Washington DC lobbyists too.
I am very grateful for Wikipedia, and I have donated to them several times. If you can, I suggest you do too. Wikipedia is a solid public good.
Overall it’s true but there’s a lot of people pushing agendas on there too.
Not only is that true, but Wikipedia’s resistance to bias (generally speaking) is definitely one of its strengths. even if it gets slammed with a bunch of revisionism for short periods, it will eventually self-correct.
And, while I’m sure that many people could cite several exceptions to this, Wikipedia does, in a general sense, maintain these rather high standards regardless. Considering what Wikipedia is in the fact that it is free and always will be, the enduring value of it is obvious.
Fun fact: Bomis.com, the first supporter of Wikipedia, eventually became a porn site. And this started to happen in 2000.
