Doing further analysis into 19:12, 6the content editors with the wikipedia operates. I've seen it stated over and over again that wikipedia is compromised. In the notables, the user Gap9551 was identified as one who had made edits to the List of Presidents page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States&action=history

 

I looked into a few others, but nothing was as glaringly 'creepy' as the Gap9551 user. However, I looked at this user, Fuzheado, who had initiated the edit lock on November 6, 2020: 19:12, 6 November 2020‎ Fuzheado talk contribs‎ m 40,104 bytes 0‎ Changed protection level for "List of presidents of the United States": Persistent disruptive editing ([Edit=Require extended confirmed access] (expires 19:54, 19 December 2020 (UTC)) [Move=Require extended confirmed access] (expires 19:54, 19 December 2020 (UTC)))

 

Turns out this user is a really big deal. His wikipedia user page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fuzheado shows that irl he is Andrew Lih, "an American new media researcher, consultant and writer, as well as an authority on both Wikipedia and internet censorship in the People's Republic of China.[5][6][7][8][9] In 2013 he was appointed an associate professor of journalism at American University in Washington, D.C."

I was looking for political ties that would confirm any bias or politically compromised affiliations.Under the username fuzheado, Lin is described as: "… the author of The Wikipedia Revolution: How a Bunch of Nobodies Created the World's Greatest Encyclopedia"

With the Metropolitan Museaum of Art, Lin is the "Wikimedia Strategist spearheading open content initiatives and research into the use of machine learning." He authored an article combining AI and Human judgment to build judgement about art.

 

So those are two interesting points to explore: AI and ART, each have nefarious associations.

 

On wikipedia, his work spans as far back as 2005 and describe thousands of edits, updates and thousands of created pages, including : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Most_vandalized_pages#Politics; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wiki_Makes_Video.

 

Lin was a software engineer with AT&T Bell Labs from 1990 to 1993 and taught at universities across America and one in Hong Kong. He specializes in Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China (PRC) affects both publishing and viewing online material, but I haven't figured out if his investigation and chronological record is nefarious or complicit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_China

"There was not a single ideological vision driving Wikipedia’s founders and core contributors as they launched the project. Jimmy Wales​, who would become the face of the project and its “benevolent dictator,” according to Andrew Lih’s The Wikipedia Revolution​, is a libertarian and Ayn Rand​ian Objectivist. Also important in shaping Wikipedia was the so-called “hacker ethos,” the culture that has developed amongst computer programmers over the last 40 years and been shaped by the Left, the counterculture, popular culture, and anarchist thought. "

 

In conclusion, I haven't formed one based on this sampling, however I was able to establish that this user himself didn't use his administrator level page editing tools to make any political edits. On President Trump wikipage, there are over 500 pages of edits, but only 0.02% were made by Andrew Lin, see pic. Hillary Clinton's page again had over 500 pages of edits with Andrew's contribution at 0.04%. Joe Bidens page there were zero edits by Andrew and there were literally two edits in over 500 pages.
