100%, Wikipedia is a joke.

Wikipedia's own founder is a fascist that wanted to launch a far-right takeover.

Yes, but Larry Sanger of 20 years ago wouldn’t believe who he has become either. I don’t say that with prejudice, just that he has a very different set of guiding principles now than he had at the time and that influences his perspective on the site.

The surrender of Wikipedia to indoctrinated gatekeepers is one of the saddest chapters of the Internet history. I hope one day Wkikpedia gets back its own soul.
