Why did Wikipedia cofounder block edits to the ‘Gaza genocide’ page? | Israel-Palestine conflict News | Al Jazeera
Haha. I can’t wait for “Trump says Earth is flat. Wikipedia updates Earth article to agree.”
“The question is, why should the opinions of the largely impartial UN and human rights scholars be weighed equally to the obviously partisan opinions of commentators and governments?
“Wikipedia has never, ever treated all voices as equal, nor does policy demand we do. If we did, the Earth article would state that Earth’s shape is under debate. But we don’t do that because scholarly consensus is that Earth is roughly spherical. Instead, flat eartherism is presented as what it is: a fringe movement without scientific backing,” the editor wrote.
