An encyclopedia website about political figures and ideologies

2018-07-18 06:22:28 UTC  

There will be a political compass with a movable dot on the homepage

2018-07-18 06:22:49 UTC  

And you can move it to wherever and read about the history of where you lean and stuff

2018-07-18 06:23:03 UTC  

It'll be so cool

2018-07-18 06:23:56 UTC  

I could try making it but I don't know where to get objective info and I'm not very good at writing

2018-07-18 06:24:21 UTC  

So this would be curated and written by a couple writers?

2018-07-18 06:24:29 UTC  

Yeah

2018-07-18 06:24:43 UTC  

And people can suggest edits which the writers can review

2018-07-18 06:24:45 UTC  

Traditionally, encyclopedias were made by looking for underpaid university faculty and paying them to write the article.

2018-07-18 06:24:59 UTC  

But those guys won't be objective

2018-07-18 06:25:18 UTC  

Like, they'll describe communism "A movement for the liberation of workers"

2018-07-18 06:25:38 UTC  

The editors are (in theory) supposed to look for people who would be objective or well positioned to talk about things from a sufficiently sophisticated viewpoint.

2018-07-18 06:25:41 UTC  

You know what I would love

2018-07-18 06:26:00 UTC  

I would love to get a bunch of quora writers

2018-07-18 06:26:13 UTC  

Matthew Bates, John Cate

2018-07-18 06:26:28 UTC  

Habib Fanny, Jon Davis

2018-07-18 06:26:36 UTC  

They tend to be very objective

2018-07-18 06:26:55 UTC  

And represent both sides as honestly as possible

2018-07-18 06:27:04 UTC  

I'd say Ernest Adams but he's a cuck

2018-07-18 06:27:18 UTC  

The number of revisions required to start showing this effect, however, is quite large—at least 2,000 edits—and the articles most read by users aren't necessarily those most revised by editors. "To some extent, we are not seeing the scenario where too many cooks spoil the broth, we are mostly seeing an insufficient number of cooks," says Zhu.

If Wikipedia would like to improve its objectivity, Zhu recommends that it encourage editors to revise the most-read stories first, as well as encouraging people with different political leanings to edit the same article.

2018-07-18 06:27:19 UTC  

If you want, find anything that asks questions about trump

2018-07-18 06:27:28 UTC  

You will find people who will try to be objective

2018-07-18 06:27:46 UTC  

Maybe I should try it, huh

2018-07-18 06:27:54 UTC  

It'll look good on a resume!

2018-07-18 06:28:07 UTC  

And maybe ask for donations hehehe

2018-07-18 06:28:19 UTC  

Eh they will just someone who will do it for free

2018-07-18 06:28:31 UTC  

The benefit of Quora is that if theres a good answer, it will stay there.

2018-07-18 06:28:34 UTC  

What no

2018-07-18 06:28:45 UTC  

I mean donations from readers

2018-07-18 06:28:51 UTC  

Like wikipedia

2018-07-18 06:28:56 UTC  

Problem is, the people who are on those sites are people with nothing better do to

2018-07-18 06:29:15 UTC  

Make any change to any political article, and it will be reverted no matter how many sources you put on

2018-07-18 06:29:33 UTC  

Its most obvious on the MeToo and Gamergate wiki articles.

2018-07-18 06:29:48 UTC  

But this won't have metoo or stuff like thag

2018-07-18 06:29:58 UTC  

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
