Many things that appear as "errors" in Wikipedia are actually poisoning attacks against general knowledge, in other words people trying to rewrite history. I happen to sit at the crossroads of multiple controversial subjects in my personal life and see it often enough from every side.
yeah, I'm still hoping that Wikipedia remains valuable and vigilant against attacks by the radical right but its obvious that Trump and congress could easily shut down wikipedia if they set their mind to it.
Not to mention that there is subset of people that are on neither side, and just want to watch the world burn for the sake of enjoying flames.
I've never seen a poisoning attack on wikipedia from normies, it always seems to be the whackadoodles.

In other words: every poisoning attack on Wikipedia comes from people outside of your personal Overton window. [1] :-)
very true. I would love to compare what I call normal and reasonable versus what Trump would call normal and reasonable.
