"🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥The encyclopedia of evil people, by evil people, for evil people 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥" + a winking Baphomet as logo
I find close to pointless derailing any discussion into a incircumstantial series of tirades.

Not just English Wikipedia. All of the projects are hostile to "outsiders" Those not in English might even be worse for several reasons

Considering the barriers to entry, growing thicket of policies, organized group harassment, and open hostility on the English Wikipedia, I'm not sure we can even call it "the encyclopedia anyone can edit" anymore. So I'd say fact-checked is a more accurate and relevant claim these days.

to call it the encyclopedia anyone can edit. The latter seems more honest than this new formulation which to me implies a degree of reliability and oversight I'm not sure we can ethically assert. I missed the discussion about this new self-description. Did it happen on meta?
