Wikipedia Reviews Summary

The overall sentiment towards the company reveals a divided reputation. Many customers appreciate the accessibility and breadth of information provided, often praising its utility for educational purposes and expressing gratitude for its free service. However, significant concerns arise regarding perceived biases in content, particularly on politically sensitive topics, leading to accusations of misinformation and editorial manipulation. Customers also note challenges with the editing process and moderation, which some find restrictive. This feedback suggests a need for improved transparency and neutrality in content management to enhance trust and credibility among users.

While I do visit Wikipedia on occassion to learn about Great Apes, or Somalia, or what a molecule is, I will never, ever, ever donate a penny to this "fake news" encyclopedia. If you want to see hate or bias, a la CNN style, then read up on Wikipedia's description of the Mar A Lago FBI raid or how Wikipedia newly defines "recession". Wikipedia is pure communist, Democrap hate and propoganda.

If you go on to Wikipedia and spend a few hours or days viewing conservative people/events of note and liberal/democratic events of note there is a pretty disturbing bias on the way the information is presented to the reader and also the ability of the general public to revise or add to that information. For example a liberal supported Wikipedia reading will almost always allow you to edit but if that edit does not align with the opinion or view the the Wikipedia hierarchy you will end up in an EDIT WAR within minutes and then get suspended without ever being allowed to have a conversation about why your edit or addition is indeed factual. If you want to edit or add to a conservative person or event page those are almost always locked for editing with the excuse that they are trying to prevent vandalism or edit wars. It's really bad for anything related to politics or culturally sensitive matters.

For other topics of interest where subjective bias is not applicable it is okay but the bias regarding politics leaves me questioning the validity of anything related to history of countries and people of note as as well.

You will be lucky to find an IP address that is unblocked. It's gotten to the point where even someone like Andrew Yang or Mayor Pete is now politically considered to be on the hard right. That is all.

Awful.
February 14, 2022

Firstly, Wikipedia has a lot of sources that are not factual, this is why students are not allowed to use it for research papers. Secondly, most of what you read is edited by immature ignorant jerks. And the guidelines don't get me started with the guidelines. I wish I can give it a -1 out of 5, but oh well.

Wikipedia is the number one search result on google for almost anything, that gives it a lot of power. Sadly, power corrupts and despite their best intention, it has become a mouthpiece for propaganda. And not just political propaganda either. Virtually every topic has its own petty bias, with page editors getting to be the ultimate authority in their chosen domain. Sure, all the media is biased these days in one way or another, it's just that Wikipedia used to be different. Now it's just another place to be misinformed. Remember: ultimately google tells you what to believe these days. If you're stupid you keep bucking the system, talking to people directly and forming your own opinions. If you're wise to it all, you just play along. Swallow your propaganda pills and don't make a fuss. For heavens sake, don't rock the boat. You'll upset Miss Google and she gets very, very angry.

So after an extensive research panel and a wide variety of evidence compiled we found that Wikipedia only provides subjective point of view and NOT neutral facts.
Here for your review thank you Wikipedia for being so easy to prove how wrong you are.
Enjoy

If you like false information. So called facts the are easily disproved, and mass political narrative propaganda stories. If you are extremely uneducated. Then wikipedia is for you.

Worthless
October 19, 2021

When I started to write about myself on Oct 16th and it was under draft until Liz sent me a message saying to remove the promotional material part so I did and then Athaenara all of a sudden deleted without explanation! So I had to start all over again and received a message from Nearlyevil665 saying it was not accepted. This doesn't make sense because I am an actor and everyone out there deserves to know about me, life. History and how I became successful in acting.

In what right mind someone would let a page exist when the majority of people can change the FACTS with lies?! Can someone explain this? I will never open wiki$#*!ia again, at least not for history articles. I guess even Adolf Hitler can be a saint in the eyes of the majority if they try to change the article. This page has to come down. It's filled with lies and incorrect information.

Ottimo sito per avere ogni tipo di informazione vera in poco tempo. Alcune volte le informazioni risultano un po' difficili da comprendere ma per il resto mi ha aiutato molte volte!

Internet users who want to publish useful words on Wikipedia are often Discriminated by Google. The Reason is that Wikipedia is from Google, this company does have a lot of interest/greed to control what users can see and what not even if it does have important words, for example useful words like [seodiscrimination] or [Negative Seo] will be blocked by the owners/administrators that does work on Wikipedia platform.
We did try to publish the word Seodiscrimination on Wikipedia, (see images)
Direct after publishing comes an owner/administrator from Wikipedia and does do Down Vote/Disapproved that word. (in a few minutes they do without to analyze if it is a useful word for internet users on the world wide web) and a moment later after doing that this administrator/fake account who did do that bad thing, will be removed/disappear on wikipedia, so that it does not any more exist, this way the users can not contact that administrator and ask them why they do that without any reason.(see images)

Why is the word Seodiscrimination so useful?

Seodiscrimination is a very useful word for all internet users, that will explain in a single/one word,
What the effect is because of Negative Seo, Ad Fraud, Click Fraud, Ranking Fraud, Scam Companies/Websites and many more.

We did also make an important website for all internet users, seodiscrimination dot com but google & Adwords now called Google Ads, does do everything to not to rank this site even if we do or best to have quality backlinks with quality articles pointed to this Landing Page.

I used to think Wikipedia was an alright organization. Not any more since their left side writing on former president Trump. Clearly they are using their organization to push a political view instead of providing true facts and only facts. What a crock this organization truly is. Thankfully, i don't have to use their service since there is still free choice at least for now.

It is said that the universe is expanding at 150,000 mph. I'm not sure if even God knows. But on Earth, as we witness the miracle of the technology revolution, none of us can be masters of our universe and that's where Wikipedia plays an invaluable role. This online encyclopedia is in itself an expanding universe of almost anything you need to know and the "go to" place for everyone. It's so amazing that your knowledge about anything will expand faster than what would have been possible without it. If you're a parent with young children, this site must be bookmarked. In fact, if you're still alive, this should be bookmarked.

The nice thing about Wikipedia is that it is neutral, can be edited by anyone, tends to be highly accurate since changes to content undergo the scrutiny of contributing editors, and is an ongoing self-sustaining body of thought. It is also a major contributing website used in the current versions of AI (Chat gpt 4) You've probably noticed that internet searches are now more meaningful. It's rich in inter-wiki hyperlinks which will enhance your original search by providing links to all types of relevant info. Your destination starts in one place and depending upon how curious you are, takes you to places you didn't intend to go or knew existed.

So, while most people think in terms of the present, Wikipedia provides you with enough information to think way beyond the beyond and envision what the future beholds. Check it out. Just add the magic word "wiki" to your internet search query, and enter this phenomenal website.

They lie, don't read politics or history. They turn all upside down. They embellish war criminals! They lie about World War 2. It's half truth, half lie so it would look like truth.
Don't read them. There are unprofessional people who write the articles. I once helped them with 20 pounds so they told me that now I can write any article I wish! So it's not about professionalism but as always about money!
