😁"#Wikipedia Labels #Zionists spooks, the #ADL, ‘Unreliable’😎

"Wikipedia, the digital billboard of #CIA-approved narratives, decided that the ADL is no longer a reliable source on issues like #antisemitism and the Israeli-#Palestinians conflict. When the Empire’s own mouthpieces begin eating their own, you know the gears of the #propaganda machine are grinding against reality."

Wow. i just listened to an interview with Norman Finkelstein and wanted to read more about his career so turned to the #Wikipedia page about him. Quite a Wikipedia page!

So interesting about truth claims - in scholarship in general as well as about the Holocaust specifically - in tenure politics, and of course Wikipedia itself. The page reads like a battleground, so much being fought out right here. #Gaza 1/2

The #wikipedia article "Israeli destruction of the Gaza Strip healthcare system" on the systematic destruction of Gaza's healthcare system just got deleted.

#Gaza


#Wikipedia has officially added “Gaza genocide” to its “List of Genocides” page, marking a major shift in how #Israel’s aggression on the besieged enclave is being documented on the world’s largest online encyclopaedia.

“The matter remains contested, but there’s a metric truckload of scholarly sources linked in this discussion that show a clear predominance of academics who say that it is.”

This made me a bit emotional. The tide, it seems, is finally turning.

It's about god-damn time! It only took a year of #genocide

"Wikipedia has decided to rename the page, initially titled ‘#Genocide allegations in the 2023 Israeli assault on #Gaza’ to simply ‘#GazaGenocide’.

"Drawing on expert opinions, #Wikipedia editors, determined there was enough evidence from scholars and human rights organizations, like Amnesty International, to substantiate the term 'genocide' in the page title."

#Wikipedia in English now contains an entry about the #genocide in #Gaza, and it's list of genocides now contains it, too.

That was long overdue, and sooner or later, there will be more who speak out this truth.

Die englischsprachige #Wikipedia enthält jetzt einen Artikel über den #Genozid in #Gaza, und hat diesen #Völkermord auch in ihre entsprechende Liste aufgenommen.

Es wurde Zeit, und über kurz oder lang werden immer mehr diese Wahrheit auch aussprechen.

If anyone has good secondary sources for #Tekmîl, let me know. I'd be up for writing a #wikipedia article on it.


I am looking for a repository of simple, Lua-free, #MediaWiki templates.

Any got a tip for me?

New #wikipedia page, "The Goose and the Common"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goose_and_the_Common

"The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back "

Not being able to edit #wikipedia when using a #vpn is irritating for me, and likely a real barrier for others.

Where do I put my vote to drop it, at least for confirmed editors?


I want to get a bunch of #Wikipedia stickers - both earnest and edgy - and stick em everywhere.

Tips anyone?


Back on the train of #wikipedia MPs - George Alfred Muskett, who at first glance was an obscure one-term MP who never did anything, and on further investigation, uh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Muskett

* married heiress, thrown in jail (she was a ward of court), reached settlement, she Mysteriously Died one year later
* spent all her fortune on building a business empire including a bank
* bank probably bribed enough voters to make him an MP
* left Parliament, died suddenly, bank collapsed


There are now only two MPs left who served in Parliament after 1841 and do not yet have #wikipedia articles; Joseph Feilden, Blackburn 1865-1869, and John Bruce, who was only very technically an MP (elected July 1892, election overturned August 1892, never sat)


Five: a very unexciting Dublin businessman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Meagher_(MP) #wikipedia

I think we now have everyone who sat since the 1870s, with the exception of one man who lasted a month in 1892 before his election was overturned.


On a roll, so here is #4 - Robert French-Brewster, who ended up with a high-profile and presumably eye-wateringly expensive divorce case (five QCs instructed by the various parties, including the Solicitor General, and trailing at the end of the list of juniors one H. Asquith - not used to seeing him with only one initial) #wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_French-Brewster


feeling a bit cranky this evening so diverted it into productivity, and we now have two new #Wikipedia MP articles - Nicholas Lynch ("a wealthy man, who, on the hustings or in the House of Commons, was unable to open his mouth") and Pickering Phipps (a Conservative who surprisingly got elected in a very Liberal town). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Lynch_(politician) & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickering_Phipps_(MP)


Huh!

For some reason I have it stuck in my head that "ancient", in the historic sense, is "before history recording", usually meaning before a culture has its own writing system.

I think that means Machu Picchu would still be 'ancient', although it was visited visited by Spaniards? #Wikipedia cites a radio-carbon dating suggesting it was beginning about 1420, but naturally took a very long time to develop and the community was small - 750 individuals.

“History is written by the victors” except on Wikipedia, as your enemies are still alive & have lots of time on their hands.

ah ah ah... encore un mythe complotiste qui devient une réalité...
La communauté Wikipédia au service de l’État Profond
Le cofondateur de Wikipédia a lâché une bombe concernant les soupçons de longue date d’ingérence et de manipulation des services de renseignement américains sur l’encyclopédie en ligne la plus connue au monde.
Le cofondateur du site, Larry Sanger, s’est entretenu avec le journaliste Glenn Greenwald sur son podcast « System Update ».
Il a notamment décrit une « guerre de l’information » des services de renseignement américains, qui ont, dans une certaine mesure, fait de Wikipédia un outil de contrôle par l’État Profond de Washington, de tendance gauchiste et libérale.

Looking to get a used #ereader. Found a nice table of file format support on good old #wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-readers#File_format_support

Unsurprisingly, amazon is the only company to support their proprietary .azw format and not the otherwise open-standard .epub 🤡

More surprisingly, #eink is a brand name of the E Ink corp. who pretty much have a monopoly on 'electrophoretic display technologies' 😕


Just published #wikipedia article for Glasgow Autonomous Space, "an autonomous social centre that provides space for groups working to fight capitalism and other forms of oppression"

Sadly no photos - someone in #Glasgow want to upload some?


A couple days ago I submitted my first article to #Wikipedia 😀

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Quaker_decision-making

Its about the procedure Quaker's developed for making decisions, which went on to influence #sociocracy and #consensus

Anyone got tips for getting it reviewed? Or want to review it personally?
