A place for members of r/True_WikiInAction to chat with each other

I've recently discovered that more than a few people (largely off-reddit) have accused this sub of being operated by anything from foreign actors to Wikipedia elites. That's not the case, obviously. But I want to open up an opportunity for members to propose any rules or enhancements to the subreddit that you feel would make it more inclusive to new members or just generally make it better. So post here any ideas you may have.

Sometimes it’s hard to find the logic in situations like this, an editor had created over 200, mainly geographic articles, all accepted and edited by other users, but since it has just been discovered the user was a sock, they’ve been G5’d, it’s situations like this that make one question the true intentions of the admins:

it is overrun with trolls focusing on pedophiles, and other Smith or u/WPOVigilant targets, with troll mod u/OnidTvilling repeating their propaganda. If interested, see r/Genderdesk.

I actually thought for a time that the mod here had turned this sub over to them. (I had a stroke and was unable to access Reddit for a time.)

How do they get away with such blatant tag-teaming? Neutrality often comes along to helpfully clean up the mess literally minutes after Snoogans edits or creates a page. Neutrality is a long-time administrator who would never pass an RFA today. Their behavior is so blatant yet....no one seems to care?

Good to see Peter Romary back on Wikipedia.

Chasing sockpuppets - it takes one to know one.

Qatar diplomatic crisis - an In the News article, the intro has this terrible punctuation mistake.

Qatari foreign minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, told reporters

And of course, I cannot correct it because I, a Wiki Gnome, have banned for homophobia without parole. Serves them right. It boggles my mind how they ban genuinely productive people for being heterosexual.

I think organisations like hopenothate have dedicated people who manage their media

notice how carefully scrubbed their articles are and how hard they go after anyone who says anything negative about them. Thus the only sources describing their activities are literally quoting the organisation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:German_Shepherd

The Shiloh Shepherd, King shepherd, White shepherd, and the Eastern Ovcharka are now just variants of the gsd, even though they have very little to do with that breed. In the process of doing so, Cavalryman destroyed years of information, all because the breeds are not recognized by the AKC, a totally transparent organization that absolutely cares about the health of our dogs and would never associate themselves with money hungry puppy mills.

Take a look at the Antifa) article and it's talk page).

If that won't make you lose your faith in Wikipedia, then what will?

I found this sub because I wanted a good place to criticize Wikipedia and point out the problems of the site.

But this sub is filled with posts and comments about personal rivalries, arguments with people from a different sub, infighting, and drama. That is not what this sub is supposed to be about. It seems like many subs that have this kind of subject matter (criticizing Wikipedia) devolve into bullshit.

u/Ond_Tvilling claims to read minds like all good trolls.
