Help to edit Wikipedia

I changed one ‘conservative’ commentator page where Wikipedia uses over and over the terms ‘far right’ or any publication as ‘conservative.’
Wikipedia hardly if ever uses the term ‘far left’ or ‘liberal.’ They use the word ‘progressive’ or nothing at all.
The word ‘woke’ is never attached to the Left. ‘Conspiracy Theorists’ is regularly attached to conservatives.
My yearly contributions to Wikipedia, needless to say, are over.
See some examples below……
Tucker Carlson is described as a ‘conservative’ and using ‘far right’ ideas.
Sam Seder, a far left woke commentator is seen simply as Progressive. How convenient
Alex Jones is Far Right and a conspiracy theorist
Brianna Joy Gray is simply seen as a political commentator and consultant
Matt Walsh is a right wing political commentator
This fat frick simply addresses various social, economic and political topics
David Pakman is just Progressive

I've never given Wiki a single penny.

Carlson is a shite stirrer who does, in fact, cater to right wingers. One white power group has said publicly that they have watched Tucker and adopted some of his talking points.
Alex Jones makes his living with conspiracy theories. Sandy Hook, anyone?

Now if you would, could you cite Wikipedia write ups using the term "far left"?

Man looks like you have a big, important weekend in front of you!

And of course two left wing nut jobs chime in.

Love the commitment, the anger. You guys are doing the little things to change a culture.
I’ll be at the FQF enjoying life!
Hey I could take some pictures of women’s breast for you guys. That could help with morale.

Agree with your point and hope you succeed…but you should probably drop Alex Jones as an example.
Another idea, start a new page called Wikipedia Bias and document what you have found so far. There are probably some studies you could site if you googled it

No doubt he fricked up with Sandy Hook but he’s turned out to be right about a ton of other shite.

I've changed their poor portrayal of conservatives, but it gets changed right back to what it was before.

It's not worth it to try editing Wikipedia, especially on anything controversial. The topic editors just reverse changes whenever they want.
Many years ago, a friend and I put in a little time to editing a page on our high school, and maybe some related or local topics. Completely non-political and non-controversial. It all got undone by an editor with authority over Houston topics.

Does Wikipedia have staff writers? I’m under the impression that it’s open source and anyone can edit and contribute.
Only asking because OP claims he donated to Wikipedia and will now stop because he doesn’t like what other people are writing.

Absolute PERFECT weather for FQF. Have fun!

They have Staff editors and probably staff writers. But the hierarchy of topic and section editors have control over which changes will remain.
I've had changes reversed immediately, suggesting they have software to monitor changes or some editors are just extremely aggressive and watching changes to their domains constantly.

If you and your cohorts would not dump out so much shite, there would not be that much to stir.
but you are incapable of logical truthful discourse. The best you can do is selected misrepresentations of universal truths.

and you have read about Mussolini and adopted most of his methodology.

I bet it’s this one. Lots of people are a bit off.

Wikipedia editing is the domain of leftist losers who don’t have anything better to do.
