So what's up with Wiki blocking everyone from editing?

I tried to do my first edit on a wiki page. I've never had an account on wikipedia, however I've tried from multiple devices and each one is blocked from creating an account.

They checked your IP against this site and realized letting you edit would be a huge mistake.

Probably had something to do with when one of my friends got drunk and deleted the entire holocaust page back in college.

If it is a high-traffic article, they restrict edits to a certain group of people.

Go try to edit an article about an insignificant subject, like South Carolina football, and you can do what you want to it.

You tried to replace leftist propaganda with actual facts?

One of the most pathetic people I know would always post on fb about getting IP blocked again by wiki. He liked to frick with the mormon page and a few others.

I caught shite for editing the famous alumni page of my high school to include all the shitheads and flunkouts from my graduating class.

Some admin messaged me directly to tell me I had a “view only” account for the foreseeable future.

Anybody remember the chaos the TD page caused in its few hours of existence?

My favorite edit went something like "After a period of uncertainty, the site's owner has finally come to terms with his homosexuality".

Facts have a well known liberal bias.

Sexual assault allegations


It’s quite possibly the longest section in his whole entire Wikipedia page and is full of nothing but the libel and slander

It’s over 7,900 characters

Wikipedia page

I want that part that says he is a rapistand got away with it.

Im not saying it doesn’t exist. I’m just asking for the relevant portion to be posted.

And if it was full of libel and slander it would have been removed. Since I’m quite sure BK knows what they are and woulda pursued it.

Of course everything was couched with allegedly. Doesn’t mean it was all fabricated lies
