Wikipedia is getting worse

edit

Some problems are glaring. Obvious lengthy puff pieces from comics and writers. Major gaps in art and literature of the 20th century (No Stu Horn or any of his circle?). Unchallenged PR from companies.

Some issues are less obvious perhaps. An ongoing, seemingly worsening bias in favor of white male cis western writers and artists and scholars. A lack of any critique of powerful institutions self image unless there has been a recognized "controversy." A definite center right slant in any page on economics, social history. A tight erasure of and bias against newer points of view in certain topics such as the historicity or lack thereof of jesus. I don't think these are deliberate failings or that there is any person to blame. It is more about a lack of concerted in certain areas, and a historic lack of diversity in contributors and editors. What can be done? 2601:401:500:37A0:E5AF:72C8:306C:242 (talk) 00:55, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Well, I guess to answer, What can be done?, I'd say get busy!  :). I don't know who Stu Horn is or what circle he is in, but if you believe he's noteworthy, get busy creating an article. Check out the Help page on writing your first article and contribute!
Similarly, if you believe that all viewpoints are not represented or all facts are not being presented, you are encouraged to edit articles that you believe are lacking to include that information. Remember to be civil and productive and utilize the article's talk page to discuss changes.
The misconception is that there are just a handful of editors that make all the articles and others who critique them. This project is for YOU to contribute! If you need help at any time, please feel free to contact me. Wikipelli Talk 23:41, 5 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

No problem with gamers at all. I DO have a problem with editors vandalizing articles. Why don't you try to do something more constructive? Wikipelli Talk 23:30, 4 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hey

edit

hey, I saw you reversedy edit on the page "Spacetoon", listen, the reason why I put colored text is so that I could bring the page back to its original form from a couple years or months ago (I dont know how many years or months ago the page had colored text because I joined Wikipedia in 2023. Ok bye. LTDF2013YT (talk) 22:44, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

That doesn't mean that the text should be in a variety of colors. It was wrong then, it's wrong now. Wikipelli Talk 22:51, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
