Wrong information. Left wing propaganda. Brainwashing. Totally biased. Rewrite history and geography. Not trustable at all. If you want true facts, real information and the truth, stay away from this... See more

Editorial process needs to be more transparent

Wikipedia is clearly a useful source of information and opinions, but it is badly let down by the lack of transparency of its editorial process, which allows the website editors (aka 'the Community') to use anonymous identities. Because of this, it is possible to spend a lot of time and effort adding factual content to an article, within one's area of expertise, only to find that the self-appointed editor of the article, whose identity is never publicly disclosed, vetos the additions by deleting or hiding them, in order to preserve a sense of proprietorship. In essence, the process favours the select few who are able and willing to devote substantial time to their editorial policing role. In this sense, Wikipedia is closer to political activism than scholarship.

Furthermore, the claim that all content is subject to strict editorial oversight is clearly false - the volume of information on Wikipedia is simply too large for this to happen. The reality is that all kinds of rubbish is published, while elsewhere diligent efforts to add useful information are rejected without right of appeal. I have donated in the past, but will not do so again until transparency standards improve.

Propaganda

Encyclopedias are supposed to aim to be factual, neutral and unbiased in their accounting. Wikipedia is openly political.

E.g. 1: "Kill The Boer" is referred to as an "anti-apartheid song". "White Lives Matter" is referred to as a "neo-Nazi slogan".

E.g. 2: renowned, published scientists are referred to as "climate change deniers", which is defined as "pseudoscientific dismissal [of] scientific consensus on climate change". This is 100% defamatory opinion. Science is not done by consensus.

The content is inaccurate

The content is totally inaccurate if the subject is to do with LGB rights or womens rights. Wiki is run by blue haired trans apologists who simply make up anything they like to further their cause.

The admins on Wikipedia are so bad they…

The admins on Wikipedia are so bad they make Reddit mods look reasonable.

I was researching someone when I came across their wiki page and saw that there was A LOT of incorrect information (no surprise considering that's what the platform is known for) so I was going to submit an edit with sources when I found out that I was blocked by the 'lovely' Drmies. Keep in mind not once in my entire life have I ever edited or even tried to edit a wiki page, never had an account, never interacted with anyone on there, before today didn't even know this admin existed (imagine a complete stranger you've never met or talked to let alone even knew existed wasting so much of their own time thinking about and hating you a complete stranger so much to the point that they're blocking you into oblivion... i'm flattered haha), wasn't notified when I was blocked, wasn't given a reason for why I was blocked, wasn't given an option to fight the block so I can submit the edit, can't reach out to the admin or anyone else period on there, and other then reading wiki pages I can't do anything now.

To be honest I don't even care about being blocked but what I do care about is false information being pushed and allowed to run rampant, the fact that wiki and it's admins try to act all holier then thou "We BlOcK pEoPlE tO kEeP tHiS sItEs InTeGrItY" while they themselves do everything in their power to make sure the site doesn't have integrity (pushing false information, obsessively controlling pages, not letting people submit edits, trying to change history, randomly blocking people for no rhyme or reason, etc), and the topping on the poop cake lies saying they're broke constantly begging users for money when in reality they're rich (i've even heard of people who gave them money being randomly blocked).

Just wild to me how all of these years later Wikipedia is still had and hasn't fixed it's issues.

Disgusting absolutely disgusting

Disgusting absolutely disgusting. The people who are on Wikipedia as senior admins are completely and utterly dishonest and ungrateful people!!! I wrote one article and it was not not notable enough, fair play. Wrote another about a well known place with gov links, news articles etc and they were like it's not notable enough or, it's not good enough or Its promoting the community. I don't think Wikipedia is run by the right people you can't breath when you edit now because of these narcissistic seniors editors who if you reply saying give me time to perfect it, they straight away delete the page!!! They are completely unnecessarily unfair and unkind and I am getting increasingly angry at their failures to keep the line straight on what I can and can't do! Sick to the back bone of them deleting my perfectly good article, which may have needed work, but decided to delete it before giving me that chance. No wonder no 1 looks at Wikipedia anymore, it's always asking for money so it's editors can carry on bullying it's contributors new and old and carry on only publishing fake, and woeful things instead of giving small businesses and large towns a page and a chance to shine. Even big businesses that are multi millionaires don't get a chance that's how stupid they are!!! It's not about fame the editors are bias and misogynistic. Watch tomorrow my account will be gone because the editors on there are bullies. Wikipedia needs to stop random people from deleting articles whenever they feel fit, Wikipedia is slowly but surely becoming so unrelevant because it's stuck in the 1990's with no modern people in it, so no modern sole can actually use it anymore!!! No famous stars now on it!! Just people that no one's heard off after considered famous! Wikipedia really needs to change it's guidelines and have people submit who they want and why and then they write an article about It, because it's now ridiculous! We can't contribute because senior editors just continue to bully us!!! Wikipedia is not what it used to be! Seriously get rid of it or change it up!!! Trust me they will read this and ignore but if you look at the hundreds of negative reviews they echo my Point exactly, modernise this stupid website or throw it away. The reason they are begging for money says otherwise!

Wikipedia is a disaster

Wikipedia is a disaster. If the articles aren’t perfect it’s the fault of the neurotic admins that enjoy punishing contributors.
Don’t lose your time , if you like to write articles do a blog with google blogs or Wordpress , at least you will be able to do your job stress free without being blamed or accused for this or for that. As I say and I am sure most people will agree, Wikipedia is admin by neurotic people with a big dose of maliciousness. Stay away .

Wikipedia is quite bad now for everything time you go and look up a article they ask you for a donation "cough, cough " voluntarily hmm, between £2 up to £25 which I think is quite expensive when there's meant to be a Cost of living crisis.

Admins are very nit-picky

This site is terrible! The admins seem to enjoy nit-picking when I try and contribute to improving articles. I'm autistic and enjoy trying to correct things. Even when I notice stuff that isn't quite right in articles such as a missing date of birth, I now leave it and just hope they find it themselves.

In short, don't bother editing the articles or even making an account unless you want to be criticised all the time!!

Wikipedia is full of intolerant admins

Wikipedia is full of intolerant admins. They use Wikipedia to release their anxiety and calm down their emotional problems. They enjoy undoing whatever you do ( even if it is a perfect contribution) and their false sense of power and authority allow them to block you from wiki, they enjoy doing it. That is the reason why most articles in Wikipedia cannot be trusted and it’s full of errors, as a result of the autists administering it. Don’t lose your time…don’t even read it..it’s frustrating.

Wikipedia has been destroyed by…

Wikipedia has been destroyed by power-hungry editors who think they can control reality and the facts. It's shameful and depressing.

It's time for a real Wiki where these power grabs are controlled by the readers and reviews of the editors in question. They feel beyond reproach and seem to be because of the platform's limitations.

The information on people is politicized, the opinions of others trying to balance things are removed, and any discussion is an excuse for blocking and kicking out dissenters.

They slander people, choose the most politicized and biased sources (that are in their favour), and provide no balance, they don't even try, they include negative adjectives in the descriptions without support (fringe, false, etc.). New information that does not follow their narrative is erased, so slanderous and libelous information stays online and nobody can balance it, even less, modify it.

They are an online mob, and if they set their sights on you, you'll get your life and professional career destroyed by them. You'll have no recourse to the law or any way to reverse what these criminals publish in this supposed "encyclopedia".

It should be a target for a class-action lawsuit, penalize the editors, and return it to crowdsourcing with tools to control and prevent this from happening again.

Never take anything printed in wiki as fact

Because this is written and edited by the general public, accuracy leaves some thing to be desired, unfortunately it can be used to make one believe that something is the truth when it is far from it, always do further research to be sure what you are reading is fact
