Comment on Wikipedia row erupts as Jimmy Wales intervenes on 'Gaza genocide' page

Comments

This is very likely character assassination.

Wikipedia has been targeted lately as part of a marketing effort for grokipedia.

I recommend taking this as a grain of salt.

Also feel like Wikipedia was never the go to platform for unfolding situations.

Almost built against serving that specific need, and trying to avoid it as much as they can, one example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Let_the_dust_settle

I know this issue is top-of-mind in the public discourse now, but the issue of Israel/Palestine has been ongoing for decades at this point.

The broader conflict yes but not the current programme.

Go read the Grokipedia article about the Gaza genocide if you want a laugh. The first sentence is 83 words with multiple nested clauses. It's gibberish.

I agree. Wikipedia is not for debate though. It’s good at settled facts.
