G'day Joe,
Is there any reason why everyone exclusively focuses
on Wikipedia Review in
this tired debate, but never once mentions Wikitruth.info, Conservapedia,
and Free Republic, which are freely linked to across Wikipedia, and also
feature outing content?
Why doesn't anyone give a damn about Wikitruth? Maybe you should ask
them why, despite their best efforts, they remain irrelevant. I suspect
the answer will be enlightening, or at least giggle-worthy.
Conservapedia isn't an attack site. It's a rival "encyclopaedia" set up
to protest the idea that a global project may not represent extreme
right American values. It's irrelevant, too. We might have a giggle at
its expense from time-to-time, but I don't know that we actually rue its
existence, as such.
Unlike the other two, Free Republic is actually worth paying attention
to, if you swing that way (I don't[0]). I don't see why Wikipedians
should cower in fear from it, though.
Now, what sayest thou on that slimy mud hole, that wretched hive of scum
and villainy, WikiAbuse?
[0] I lost interest in echo chambers back in my 'blogging days, and I
certainly have no time for right-wing variants of same.
