Itll be pure politics

2018-07-18 06:30:00 UTC  

Thats why I said Quora has that benefit

2018-07-18 06:30:03 UTC  

Certainly sounds interesting

2018-07-18 06:30:05 UTC  

Maybe even revolutions

2018-07-18 06:30:06 UTC  

You cant edit answers

2018-07-18 06:30:14 UTC  

You can

2018-07-18 06:30:24 UTC  

Other peoples answers

2018-07-18 06:30:31 UTC  

That's what I said man

2018-07-18 06:30:32 UTC  

@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.

2018-07-18 06:30:41 UTC  

The readers can suggest edits

2018-07-18 06:30:50 UTC  

And if an admin wants, he can allow it

2018-07-18 06:31:00 UTC  

It'll be so cool

2018-07-18 06:31:09 UTC  

An admin can make edits to the answer of another person?

2018-07-18 06:31:10 UTC  

Considering what I've seen on Reddit and some documents I've read of influence campaigns, I'd believe the rumors.

2018-07-18 06:31:19 UTC  

More like block it as I understand.

2018-07-18 06:31:45 UTC  

@GingaBomber I was talking about my website

2018-07-18 06:31:56 UTC  

I was talking about quora sorry

2018-07-18 06:32:03 UTC  

The big issue with anything at politics is that there's a natural desire to corrupt it.

2018-07-18 06:32:04 UTC  

You can suggest edits

2018-07-18 06:32:09 UTC  

Or for it to become an echo chamber.

2018-07-18 06:32:20 UTC  

And the writer of the answer can approve it

2018-07-18 06:32:26 UTC  

If you can solve those problems, you could probably solve much bigger problems than a website TBH.

2018-07-18 06:32:43 UTC  

I say I regularly recycle the writers

2018-07-18 06:32:50 UTC  

Give them limited control

2018-07-18 06:32:54 UTC  

And screen them

2018-07-18 06:32:55 UTC  

@Deleted User That actually sounds interesting. The writers act as editors.

2018-07-18 06:33:09 UTC  

Maybe yearly, maybe monthly

2018-07-18 06:33:25 UTC  

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)

2018-07-18 06:33:34 UTC  

Yea....

2018-07-18 06:33:47 UTC  

I could start working on it

2018-07-18 06:34:05 UTC  

I can't get money cos India

2018-07-18 06:34:14 UTC  

It'll take years probably

2018-07-18 06:34:18 UTC  

@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.

2018-07-18 06:34:24 UTC  

But I'll work on it

2018-07-18 06:34:30 UTC  

You're basically trying to solve the issue of corruption

2018-07-18 06:34:36 UTC  

That isnt a easy problem to solve

2018-07-18 06:34:45 UTC  

It's easy if it's a dictatorship

2018-07-18 06:35:01 UTC  

And very few people have control

2018-07-18 06:35:07 UTC  

Only if the dictator has pure motivations and has the patience to keep a eye on things constantly.

2018-07-18 06:35:14 UTC  

This is... rare.

2018-07-18 06:35:15 UTC  

Would be good to find an artist interested in making a concept mock up to see if an end product would be something worth pursuing
