Wokepedia… a crap load of their funding goes to DEI initiatives and it shows in their editing priorities…
This is not new. The last time I edited something there was at least 15 years ago. It has been lefty agenda-driven for a couple decades as far as I can tell.

Every Confederate entry - several are my ancestors - received a thorough George Floyd update. I won't give them a nickel.
 
Thank you Alistair I was going to reply...but after spending a lovely afternoon..evening...and night at the bar overlooking the zambezi..quaffing a few beverages...Reading that has made me fall asleep...............:E Sleeping:

The Zambezi creates an emotional reaction in me that cuts me to the core

I pray I see it again
 
Elon has been going after them hard for the last week or so... called them out for where they spend their money (DEI) while constantly begging for donations... then offered to give them $1B in exchange for them to change their name to Dikipedia for a year lol...

When first starting the pursuit of an MBA almost 20 years ago I learned the hard way not to trust ANYTHING found on Wikipedia.. I knew up front wikipedia couldnt/shouldnt be cited as a source for academic research.. but I thought it might be a decent starting point to lead me to sources that could be used..

Without fail it took me down ridiculous paths tied to extreme liberal ideals regarding finance, economics, etc..etc.. every time I used it... if looking at an aspect of "reaganomics" for example all connotations would be negative and lead to questioning the validity of decisions made, etc... but if you looked into NAFTA or anything else Clinton signed into law it was 100% rainbows, unicorns, and pots of gold associated.. no down side or potential problem mentioned..

About all I find it good for these days is if I want to know "whose that actress staring in this movie? what else have I seen her in before?"... outside of that, I've got no use for it..

On the George Floyd thing, it's really insane. Floyd died in the hospital, an hour or so after he was carted there by the meat wagon. That's in line with his blood draw because his fentanyl and norfentanyl levels were those of someone who's still alive. The levels spike post-mortem. They used Floyd's ante-mortem levels as evidence in trial that he didn't die of narcotic-induced respiratory arrest.

The law enforcement agency I worked for has been thoroughly trashed by Wikipedia, with far more references to negativity, controversial use of force (no context of course or references to the great things achieved) with the help of a far left wing newspaper. Even though back during my years there, I edited and provided documentation to present facts that offered the full story, all promptly removed by Wikipedia. To say I hated them almost as much as that newspaper is an understatement.
 
Why I will not donate money to wikipedia. I've corrected several articles there over the years, but they don't fit with the narrative and my edits are always removed.

At least it states an up tic in the populations but gives no reasoning for the population increases. Namibia, RSA, Botswana and Zimbabwe, ironically the legal sport hunting AND export to the US of elephant is allowed in these countries. I would venture to guess hunting and export ability would be the reason for the rise in population, with good management and anti-poaching efforts. Two notable countries are missing, Tanzania and Mozambique. I know nothing about Tanzania or if they are exportable to the US but the people I know and talk to in Mozambique say their population seem to be increasing ( anecdotal information though ) even though they allow hunting but the USFWS will not allow import into the US.

That's why I donated to the fund of Dereck Chauvin or what is his name for his defense attorney. It is on give send go. The guy did not get a fair trial. Even on the other side of the pond I got that much.
 
I can’t really disagree with you regarding that specific charge but I have zero doubts about his prostitution, cocaine and ecstasy use. Good riddance.

Now to get the names of the Congressmen and Senators who have paid out $17 million in hush money for sexual harassment.

All I have is the Journey and Nature channel to watch African photo safaris while sipping on some George Dickel bourbon and wishing I was in Africa right now. April will come and go to fast before I finally step foot again on African soil for hunts and photo safaris.

Minimal days of range time with minimal amount of time to develop 458WM loads for DG & PG for a new rifle and scope.

And Wikipedia is constantly begging for donations

Jimmy Carter dead at 100, whatever you think of his politics he was a true southern gentleman.
And the most morally centered President in our history. RIP Jimmy Carter.

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
