lol elon's fans are telling him to deal with Wikipedia threatening to delete the article on his dumb email pseudo-story by buying Wikipedia too
like, he can't. but my god, if he thought he bought a barrel of rabid squirrels with Twitter.
the article on his dumb email pseudo-story is staying, at least for now. because a ton of solid Reliable Sources have come to the party and clowned hard on Musk and Taibbi

in reply to David Gerard • • •Is Wikipedia editing as insular as it seems from the outside? I've used it forever obviously but never really submitted anything because it seemed like it was just going to get erased.

in reply to mav :happy_blob: • • •1. no not at all, just bring good sources and you're golden! 2. yes, it's horribly insular because of a continous barrage of spam and idiots.
(do bring the good sources. fuckwits will still argue with them, and you're not allowed to actually call them fuckwits. the good sources do eventually win though.)
read the talk pages of articles. if you think "this is great, fits my way of working" you'll probably be fine. if you think "what is *wrong* with you people," you will have a correct understanding and may also be fine.
it's the ultimate nerd wars. the dwarf fortress of writing.

in reply to David Gerard • • •We're a *bit* looser in terms of source/no original research policy (just don't link bad sources, that'll still get zapped) and we do permit you to point out when a fuckwit is being a fuckwit. Don't be a jerk and you'll probably fit right in.

in reply to David Gerard • • •In fact literally nobody is talking about #emptyburgergate which should raise a few eyebrows. I search the web for #emptyburgergate and there's nothing. Empty. Wikipedia? Nothing.
