If you’ve ever been to college, or submitted a list to Listverse, you’ll be familiar with those three magic words: “Don’t reference Wikipedia”. Yet in spite of its reputation for unreliability, Wikipedia is the 5th biggest website on Earth, and a major source of information for people all over the world. But when something becomes as big as Wikipedia, any issues it has can suddenly affect millions, or even billions, of people. That is what makes the following problems so worrying.
Poster Comment:
This author is a 'liberal' knucklehead so he misses the fact that wikid's rigidly enforced bias is wacko leftism, but here's a mildly interesting article and comment section.
What amazes me is wikid's articles on the Clintoons -- they're as glowing as glowing can be.

Unreal.
That is Exhibit "A" as to why Wikipedia should be totally and immediately dismissed or cited as ANY legit authoritah on ANY subject. It's been a bogus source of "facts" for several years, yet people are still citing it... as though.
It still blows my mind when it or Snopes OR any number of obvious leftist disinfo sources are cited to help decide any argument over "facts."

Exactly.
And how best to create credibility than by citing factual, objective info that can easily be validated by several other sources?
The best propaganda is mostly facts, festooned with lies.
It's at the fringe edge of "factual" info where wiki blatantly engages in outright subjective disinfo, misinfo and lies. (same of Snopes until they got busted.) But at that point, Wiki relies on lazy researchers and established, undeserved rep. Info and unverifiable "facts" are adjusted and manipulated at the drop of a hat from this week to last week.
Wikipedia like Snopes is co-opted, owned and operated by agenda-driven subversives. It's like taking candy from a baby to the in-curious.

I'm sure I refer wikid 100 times a week or more and was just checking something in snopes the other day. What I found stunning in the article is "the fact that they have about $100 million in reserves shouldn’t raise any eyebrows, as they have to plan for unforeseen circumstances." HUH -- the way they plead for donations? Aren't they a nonprofit?
The link footnoted on that paragraff goes to
meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising/2018-19_Report
Which says the team raised $113 million in donations for 2018-19. Can somebody tell me what they need even one million for? Gliberals are such con artists!

Agreed. If you want to know how to design a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filter, it's pretty reliable. But I wouldn't trust it on, say, the subject of IQ vs. race or sex.

Did not know they had that kind of moolah incoming. I gave them some last December. Don't think I’ll do that again.
They do have a lot of real good stuff on it, as long as its not political.

I've never understood that. Are they building a virus that attacks ppl guilty of searching taboo subjects and words?

More likely a database of we dissidents and patriots.

What the -- looks like that's for real!
I try to donate a little money to worthy causes, but finding out which ones actually are worthy can be a tuff proposition.

I use startpage when I want look at google results, otherwise I mostly use duckduckgo and swisscows.
The problem I have with google is they leave out pages that don't meet their approval. I don't need their protection.
