    Don’t have the energy to do the due diligence here and I won’t just trust the headline because I have never heard of this source before. But I will note OP’s account seems to be a single issue account with a grudge against wikipedia.

      You don’t have the energy to check their claims but you do have the energy to claim that they are bad actors. Interesting. Gerard himself did something similar.

      In case anyone is interested the OP was the one who did an earlier expose on the FAA’s DEI shenanigans.

      Single-purpose shared accounts are good for security purposes, particularly if you want to expose a problematic organization whose members will stop at nothing to harass, stalk and even doxx you.

        Wikipedia gets a million people saying its bullshit every week. I doubt theyll personally track you. But as I privacy nerd I understand your concerns

    Yet more absolute garbage from anonymous substack users.

    There are plenty of “alternative wikipedias”. If you want an echo chamber that spouts unreliable nonsense, go use them. Or just facebook.

    does the author of this blogspam thing wiki admins are manually changing articles?

    In practice, this means Gerard scanning through dozens of articles in the span of a few minutes, tearing out all information cited to the Free Beacon

    Dereferencing sources would be automated.
