Its most obvious on the MeToo and Gamergate wiki articles.
But this won't have metoo or stuff like thag
Itll be pure politics
Thats why I said Quora has that benefit
Certainly sounds interesting
Maybe even revolutions
You cant edit answers
You can
Other peoples answers
That's what I said man
@ExceptionalFeather Interesting. I've heard rumors though that Wikipedia created an editor hierarchy to control quality on the site (so we don't get long screeds on "arm cannons in Metroid")
I've then been told that the editors have been playing purge games with each other and then using their moderation powers to be picky and choosey with edits.
The readers can suggest edits
And if an admin wants, he can allow it
It'll be so cool
An admin can make edits to the answer of another person?
Considering what I've seen on Reddit and some documents I've read of influence campaigns, I'd believe the rumors.
More like block it as I understand.
@GingaBomber I was talking about my website
I was talking about quora sorry
The big issue with anything at politics is that there's a natural desire to corrupt it.
Or for it to become an echo chamber.
And the writer of the answer can approve it
If you can solve those problems, you could probably solve much bigger problems than a website TBH.
I say I regularly recycle the writers
Give them limited control
And screen them
@Deleted User That actually sounds interesting. The writers act as editors.
Maybe yearly, maybe monthly
The only concern I have then would be maintaining quality (you'd almost certainly have to pay quite a bit in practice. Maybe make a part-time staff)
Yea....
I could start working on it
I can't get money cos India
It'll take years probably
@pratel I am not saying that Wikipedia is perfect or doesn't have controversy, there might be truth to those things but I can't take I've been told at face value if I am honest though, but I will consider those things. I just mostly go based off of what I can get out of wikipedia, and I feel that I come out of wikipedia better informed, and provided with links to similar topics that I had not considered.
But I'll work on it
You're basically trying to solve the issue of corruption
That isnt a easy problem to solve
It's easy if it's a dictatorship
And very few people have control
Only if the dictator has pure motivations and has the patience to keep a eye on things constantly.
