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.

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

2018-07-18 06:35:21 UTC  

Hey....The dictator is me!

2018-07-18 06:35:30 UTC  

I'm nice

2018-07-18 06:35:31 UTC  

One possible first step is to stick to abstracts.

2018-07-18 06:35:33 UTC  

I think

2018-07-18 06:35:45 UTC  

Being nice isnt the problem :p

2018-07-18 06:35:58 UTC  

philosophies and stuff. It tends to attract slightly less passion than current events.

2018-07-18 06:36:04 UTC  

Ye

2018-07-18 06:36:05 UTC  

or also doing things barebones having just the main goals ready to see if it practically is as good produced as concepted

2018-07-18 06:36:10 UTC  

I mean, you can only trust yourself to do what you consider right

2018-07-18 06:36:23 UTC  

I'll think about it

2018-07-18 06:36:33 UTC  

It's a good idea. But nothing is perfect

2018-07-18 06:36:48 UTC  

Indeed.

2018-07-18 06:37:17 UTC  

Basically, my plan is to run the server like Soviet russia

2018-07-18 06:37:35 UTC  

One thing I was considering was trying to think of a way to ensure a balanced look at these things.

My problem was that I could never figure out how you would prevent false flags and concern trolling.

2018-07-18 06:37:50 UTC  

There won't be no trolls or flags

2018-07-18 06:38:00 UTC  

There will be flags, ok

2018-07-18 06:38:11 UTC  

But I'll try and keep it human

2018-07-18 06:38:34 UTC  

False flags are only a problem when the system is automated

2018-07-18 06:38:58 UTC  

Like on youtube

2018-07-18 06:39:48 UTC  

nonono, false flag is a term for pretending to be an opponent to disrupt them or create bad press

(see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag)

concern trolling is pretending to be a member of a group online to improve identification with people you're looking to persuade (see; https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=concern%20troll)
