Wikipedia[4] is an internet website founded by Jimmy Wales that purports to be an open source online encyclopedia. i.e. a site that can be edited and added to by any contributors. It is a tightly-controlled enterprise run by a small number of users who tend to be far-left socialists, generally male and white. Wikipedia has been accused of publishing unreliable pseudo-history, dubious science and polemic for the far left, along with inaccurate and in some cases slanderous attacks on living persons. These attacks are published anonymously and there is no practical way that the victims can bring any legal action against the authors or the founder Jimmy Wales.
The editors prevents anybody with information not approved by the Democrat Party from contributing, or even registering a notice that the accuracy or objectivity of a certain page is disputed.
Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia. A proper encyclopedia commissions articles by acknowledged academic experts, and requires them to be based on a wide range of reputable sources, and has them peer-reviewed before publication. Wikipedia does none of those things. It requires no educational qualifications from its contributors and makes only a feeble pretense of academic expertise or objectivity.
Wikipedia claims to have an official policy of Neutral Point of View (NPOV), but this has not been proven.[5]
Educated people do not regard Wikipedia as a reliable or reputable source. Among feminists it is nick-named "Dikipedia" because of its strong anti-feminist and misogynistic bias.
Its editors are known to be very hostile and intolerant towards unregistered users who edit its pages, reverting the edits for no discernible reason whatsoever.
Its websites are supported and hosted by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation.
Wikipedia is ranked among the ten most popular websites,[3] and unfortunately constitutes the Internet's largest and most popular general reference work.[6][7][8]
To make the problem worse, Wikipedia's material is copied mechanically and reproduced on a growing number of other websites - reckoned to be 290 - which thus duplicate and proliferate its errors and its extreme bias.
Many schools and colleges ban their students from using Wikipedia as a source, as the teachers know that its content is not to be trusted.
Online entrepreneurs Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, the former of whom has been described as a "social justice warrior" by his political allies, launched Wikipedia on January 15, 2001. Sanger[9] coined its name,[10] a portmanteau of wiki[notes 3] and encyclopedia. Wikipedia was only in the English language initially, but it quickly became multilingual as it developed similar versions in other languages which differ in content and in editing practices. The English Wikipedia is now one of over 290 Wikipedia editions and holds the largest amount of articles, with more than 5,257,000, having surpassed 5,000,000 articles in November 2015. Wikipedia consists of a grand total of more than 40 million articles in more than 250 different languages throughout all current encyclopedias.[12] As of February 2014, it had 18 billion page views and nearly 500 million unique visitors each month.[13] In July 2021, Larry Sanger admitted that Wikipedia has a strong left-wing bias, citing the site's censorship of critical information about Democratic president Joe Biden. He said that for this reason the site can no longer be trusted.[14]
