For about the first five or 10 years, Larry Sanger recalled, "you could go to articles on the most controversial topics of the day and the culture war, and you would find all sides being fairly represented."

But about 10 years ago, he said, "as liberals made, or leftists made, their march through the institutions, Wikipedia became one of those influential institutions … and [the left] basically took it over."

By then, Sanger said, Wikipedia started getting rid of citations from conservative sources, "even conservative sources that were cited in order to explain the conservative point of view."

Sanger told Just the News that his new, forthcoming project, called "Encyclosphere," is a decentralized network of the world's encyclopedias, what he called "an old-fashioned, leaderless, ownerless network, like the blogosphere."

Sanger said just as there are no administrators in the blogosphere, "in the same way, I want to create a protocol that very loosely ties all the encyclopedias online together."

In a video posted to Twitter, Sanger announced the Encyclosphere, calling it "a free, giant, global knowledge commons without any central control."

Sanger said his Encyclosphere would be able to avoid an anti-free speech tilt "because freedom is built into the architecture, just as it is built into DNS (the web's basic domain name system) and, again, into the blogosphere. Different competing apps can restrict access to an extent, and governments can restrict access, but the network will never restrict access."

Sanger said his team has already done an encyclopedia meta-search project, started codifying standards, and talked to various encyclopedias. But for now, his first step is to start with "a free, long-term, graduate-level seminar" he said will be announced soon.

About a week ago I looked up Robert Kennedy, Jr—son of Bobby Kennedy. Jr. has a very good site, “Children’s Health Defense,” that recently exposed Bill. Gates as the largest owner of farmland in the US, and another article about Gates’ destruction of the economy in India by buying up the land, destroying heritage seeds, and forcing GMOs down everyone’s throats. GMOs are so dangerous,, I won’t buy cat food with GMO ingredients.

Wikipedia calls RFK, Jr. a “conspiracy theorist.” I’d say ‘you can’t make this stuff up,’ but Wikipedia absolutely does.

BTW, my pharmaceutical company exec friend says Gates is a criminal and belongs in jail.

Start a new one and I’ll go to it.

Still seems to me that Wiki depends on amateur writers chiming in. So like FB, etc, it depends on whether the parent company polices everything, and does so efficiently. I don’t think they write things. They would have to find it and delete what they don’t like. It would take too much to write.

The left will infiltrate, undermine and capture everything in the media, education, government spaces. It is their life. They will spend decades, generations if need be. Conservatives, or anyone not on the left, will never put in that kind of intense single minded effort. The rest of us have lives, families, businesses, careers. Subsuming everything into their control is their life, business, career.

The Left corrupts, creates hate, and wants to control. It’s what they do like water is wet.

There is “no such thing as an author without bias”. As such, I have, and desire others to have a bias in favor of morality justice, what is right, and liberty.

I am glad this is happening, but personally, I am a long time fan of attorney Andy Schlafly’s “Conservapedia” site and organization.

https://conservapedia.com/Main_Page

They have well sourced, and more in depth historical literacy and context over government, important events, those involved, and things which pertain.

What they don’t have is an army of leftists constantly updating everything, to subtly burry the truth. Schlafly’s people will really drill down..

Awesome... AD and BC... No more BCE and CE... Complete nonsense developed by anti-Christian zealots.

One example, try to find much of anything negative in the WP page on LBJ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_B._Johnson

Let me know when Encyclosphere starts publishing. Anyone?

I have a better idea: SHUT WIKIPEDIA DOWN.
