[edit]And here we are at the bottom of this page. It seems you are using Wikipedia, and using it quite a bit, in order to end up here, at the bottom of a random contributor's archive page. Why not try another, more reliable, wiki instead (in no particular order):
- Metapedia
- Conservapedia
- Encyclopædia Dramatica
- Uncyclopedia
- Incel Wiki (never had article)
- RationalWiki
- ProleWiki (no article any more)
Trust me, none of these websites have any sort of political or factual bias, what-so-ever.
