depths of wikipedia!

@mil0theminer i was there 2 weeks ago! but you’re right it sold out

Does she not realise how hard this would go in SF

@RammyMolnar why not

@depthsofwiki oh fuck shit it's a few hours away do i impulse buy tickets

ugh if only there were a live comedy/trivia show about wikipedia in boston tomorrow.....

@vess_tm i mean not exactly. wikipedia determines notability based on whether there are legit sources to cite about it. which there are!

@depthsofwiki this only has a wikipedia page because its popular on twitter. it only has 22k likes on tiktok and is not part of the canon in the slightest

this is the first wikipedia article about an individual tiktok which feels historic!!! i brought this guy on stage last week at my show in chicago and he rocked so much

@teracherous @caughtinthemadi lol didn’t meet to post that from this account but oh well

@teracherous @caughtinthemadi nooo its ok thy are all irony poisoned you are normal and great

what a gesture

here are a few random posts people have liked lately!!!! if for some reason you are dying for wikipedia screenshots

i know i'm not active here anymore but i still post stuff like this (literally exactly this) on blue sky! i miss when we were in the same place and i still check x here and there, i just get too bummed by the weird/racist vibes to have fun. sorry sorry ok please clap

sorry i'm not reallllly trying to proselytize, i just want people to know that i didn't disappear!!! also i set a reminder for this "please clap" anniversary years ago and am rather excited about it

@unstobbaple he's a pretty active editor! one fun thing about knowing a lot of wikipedia editors is that sometimes when I click a page to learn about some random thing, I see a photo of one of my friends where i least expect it haha

@unstobbaple one time i recognized that guy at a conference (he's also in the kubrick stare article) and it turns out he's delightful and friendly! here's a selfie of me attempting to gen z stare with the master himself

@fakehistoryhunt @MRKokoski i remember the discussion on this articles talk page is almost comically intense and thorough? i browsed it one time like a year ago but i don’t remember the details!

@MRKokoski Wikipedia isn't as bad as people seem to think.

Oh great, Elon is making a Temu version of Wikipedia. Of course it's going to be full of nonsense and people are going to be convinced its all completely true... and it will use rubbish nonsense sources and... oh... well except this once ;)

Well there's your problem, knowledge can't be democratized. You can't put who won the Civil War up to a vote.
