obviously it’s not perfect but wikipedia might genuinely be one of the top ten best ideas of my lifetime. a free, ad-less encyclopedia with millions of articles available in hundreds of languages that the majority of humans can access from anywhere. what a gift

I can’t really make fun of this because John Green ended up building a maternity hospital in Sierra Leone and coercing Johnson & Johnson to surrender their patent on Tuberculosis medication entirely off the power of millennial cringe.

Nobody is complaining loudly enough that Wikipedia is sometimes no longer even on the first page of google results. Like what the hell are we doing

openai․com was once the personal homepage of a guy named glenn (2001), and tiktok․com was the quaint shared homepage of a couple who went from dating to married with a baby (~1998-2001). THREAD!!!

Went to a pub quiz and they did a round on local history, but the host had taken all the questions from a Wikipedia page I'd mostly written.

Well there's your problem, knowledge can't be democratized. You can't put who won the Civil War up to a vote.

Help! My encyclopaedia is too academic!

Replying to @lsanger
Wikipedia's current framework is "GASP": globalist, academic, secular, and progressive. Four of the theses are aimed at correcting, or reforming, this framework. But there are other ways in which Wikipedia needs to be reformed.

to whoever made a map labeling every county in Kentucky in the Geʽez script so they could put it on an Amharic Wikipedia page that has almost no other content, i want you to know that your efforts are not in vain. in 1,000 years, this page will still be getting 5 views per week
