FR Wikipedia entry
12/25/13 | Awestruck

Posted on 12/25/2013 1:01:05 PM PST by Awestruck

Am I the only one to notice that most of the Wikipedia entry about FR is one big hit piece? Or does it not matter because it is editable? Don't meant to be dense...just curious.

Hit it was a {{pov-check|date=December 2013}} tag in the Edit section. That’ll make the libs mad.

I’ll say it again, one person can’t do anything about a wiki page. You’d have to get 30 - 50 people, a wiki edit war with one person against the usual 30, the one guy just gets banned.

We have a wiki entry? I pretty much only look up bands, movies and TV shows.

Have you noticed what loud mouth, emotional, self serving, mal-developed, gas bags say about you and others that is beyond divorced from reality but, more about them being on their own island screaming insanity at a wall?

They are lunatics.

What they say is mostly projected anger about their short comings and a violation of their utopian ideals which cannot exist because of scientific laws.

FK em.

Merry Christmas!!! The Savior is born.

Wikipedia is theoretically neutral but there are many leftists invested in pushing their agenda.

We conservatives should be more present, but it can be frustrating in the extreme. I tried to improve the death panels page which is an atrocious abomination.

I looked it over pretty carefully, and the posting does tend to emphasize what the author(s) feel are our shortcomings.

There is a LOT more material on FR than there is on DU. The author(s) of that entry note that DU is sort of conspiracy central for a lot of really nutty ideas, but they only mention a couple of the worst ones, and omit details around, for instance Karl Rove's "impending indictment" (remember "Fitzmas"?), or how they reacted to Dick Cheney accidentally shooting his buddy (talk about a long, nutty thread).

The insanity found on DU would fill the Indian Ocean, perhaps the Atlantic Ocean, but there's little note of it.

Judging from her FR page, I’d say she is probably the Resident Expert on Onesies. : )

Wikipedia is basically leftist. No point trying to fix their entry on FR, because it will just go bad again.

Actually, I find Wiki very useful on most things, as long as there’s not a political issue. You can even look up facts about politicians—names of wives and children, for instance, or dates of service. But you can’t trust the politics, EVER.

Webopedia appears to be an online dictionary for computer jargon.

Maybe you were thinking of Conservapedia?

it’s not bad with most older history ww2 and earlier though i suspect the crusades pages are skewed. even a lot of the modern military stuff is good or at least a starting point. i don’t wast my time with the politics.
