WaPo and others are going down in flames.
It's funny to watch.

Same kind of people control Wikipedia/Wikimedia etc. It will be another WaPo/NYT/Buzzfeed/CNN.

I hope never. Can't anyone sign in and edit Wikipedia?

Auburn and Alabama graduate is the founder. Don't know if that is good or bad.

No, actually. Worse than that. Funny story, when the Alton Sterling case's decision was about to come out I searched the case's Wikipedia page to see when it actually happened out of curiosity and there was a shite ton of MSM-ish race baiting "black guy white cop" bullshite on there which I thought it was unnecessary and divisive. I was going to edit the page to say "a cop killed an armed man" rather than "a white cop killed an unarmed black man" (I know, I have no life) and when I clicked edit it said something along the lines of "sorry, we've locked this page so no one can edit it".
Basically Wikipedia locks and internally edits politically charged pages so they can push the narrative however they see fit, while hiding behind the illusion of every page being created by "community based editing".

The SJW fringe has been taking over Wikipedia really dramatically the past 4-5 years.
Wikipedia is not good for info where people have any sort of agenda. It's only good for things so banal that there is no agenda.

Directly? No.
But it's a wonderful place to go and then use their source articles. Scroll to bottom and go to the source.

Think real hard and see if you can think of another reason they locked it.

It doesn't matter why they locked it. I'm sure you have some slackjawed redneck opinion on why they actually locked it but the fact is that some random liberal employee in Silicon Valley locked INACCURATE politically charged statements into an article that easily could've been neutral.
Think real hard and tell me why that may be a problem for a website that claims to be made and edited by people of all political viewpoints.

Considering that even in high school we were told never to use Wikipedia as a source.. I'd say never.
