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.

> I don’t think they write things.<

I believe that you are right. Anyone can be a Wikipedia “editor” and contribute to an entry (at least that was the way it was a couple of years ago).

I myself modified their page on Adm. Grace Hopper. It contained some false info that I corrected. Last I looked, my correction was still there.

Now here’s the thing. Anyone can challenge an entry or a correction. And then some Wikipedia big shot reviews that challenge. If the challenge is upheld, the entry or correction is deleted.

So maybe you correct their page on how great socialism is. And then your correction gets challenged by some Commie. Then maybe Wikipedia upholds the challenge, and deletes your correction.
