Apparently the wiki is locked and can’t update from Lake Ontario to America. Why is this since I thought Wiki was open source where all users can edit? Probably doing it wrong though if someone can help: LINK

That pedia still won't let you edit Gulf of America, too! Bunch of sore pansies, undedicated to the truth. They are fake news.

Because the Wikipedia admins are a bunch of trannies who put a blue lock on any edit that goes against their preferred narrative. “Open source” my arse.

Literally, if you click on an admin’s profile, it will list as a “they/them” and such. Any conservative who tries to edit gets banned.

If we really want to piss them off we should edit any page mentioning Lake Ontario into mentioning Lake America. For example, the Ontario Canada page is unlocked, as is the page for Rochester NY, just sayin’…

On Ontario's side but USA side it’s not necessarily true now

Well, that's because the name of the lake is Lake Ontario.

Trump also “joked” about also renaming the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

And of course by joke that means we can expect that soon. With a clown expect clownery. Not a serious person and no one cares. Canadians are going to call it what they want and are just pointing and laughing at this point.

This is Wikipedia's bio:

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, created and edited by volunteers around the world and hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation.

What possible reason would they have for catering to one country when the entire rest of the world has a differing view?

All Wiki needs to do is add a section describing the time POTUS signed an EO for a local name change.

Because we’re the greatest country to ever exist and everyone is jealous they are not Americans, hence all the hate.

I think the Lake America thing is pretty retarded. But Canada won’t call 9-11 a terrorist attack so frick em. Tim Hortons sucks and poutine is disgusting.

The Gulf of America was never adopted by the International Hydrographic Org, the group that charts and standardizes the names of international waters. Why would Wikipedia change it based off of some declaration that has little authority. It's like Trump renaming the Atlantic the East American Ocean and the Pacific the West American Ocean and demanding wikipedia change the names. The rest of the world doesn't care.

He went out of his way to edit a Wiki, then posted abt the fail, and you're saying the people who question his efforts are triggered?

Trump can’t change the name simply by his signature on EO…
The Gulf of Mexico remains, as well.
