Wikipedia Has Become Weapon of Gatekeeping
Filed under: 
T is hardly controversial to say that Wikipedia gets misused to sort of decided who’s important and who’s unimportant, who’s good, who’s evil etc.
Wikipedia is an abusive instrument of power and we know who funds it: billionaires.
Nope, not poor donors. They’re a drop in the ocean.
“Did you ever contribute on Wikipedia and is this something you would like to push there?” a friend asked me today. “It would be interesting to see how they react this time and if they make up new excuses to try and sabotage my campaign,” he said, then “report that in Techrights” (mentioned this morning).
Wikipedia has a policy against people writing about themselves, but writing about oneself isn’t a real limitation when people ask friends and PR firms to do this.
Be very sceptical of Wikipedia. It became part of the advertising industry.
