[Reddit post] Reading Wikipedia article on Circumcision honestly makes me sick.

They have a huge ton of (questionable) claims that circumcision can improve one's health. But when it comes to people who got cut and don't like it? They say 'Medical disinformation spread by opponents of circumcision may have an adverse psychological effect on vulnerable men who have been circumcised.

 

And guess which website makes me regret my circumcision for several years ago in the first place? Wikipedia itself!

 

Ok, calm down True, there's something you can hypothetically do. Which in this case I can consider editing Wikipedia articles. However, I know just so much reliable resources. And a lot of claims about people who got bad feelings (like me) is pretty much going to be ignored. Let alone websites promoting intactivism.

 

Don't get me wrong, I have edited some Wikipedia articles in the past. Just not this 'controversial' articles. But saying that I have a grip on how the Wikipedia community works is going to be a huge overstatement.

 

To those saying that Wikipedia isn't reliable, well, when you search for a topic that you don't know about, what comes up in the knowledge card that appears at the side of your searc! results from Google, Yahoo, Bing, Duckducky etc? Although we know by heart that Wikipedia isn't reliable, we're likely going to take the very first facts from a topic we don't know about from Wikipedia anyway since their facts are quite everywhere.
