An encyclopedia website about political figures and ideologies
There will be a political compass with a movable dot on the homepage
And you can move it to wherever and read about the history of where you lean and stuff
It'll be so cool
I could try making it but I don't know where to get objective info and I'm not very good at writing
So this would be curated and written by a couple writers?
Yeah
And people can suggest edits which the writers can review
Traditionally, encyclopedias were made by looking for underpaid university faculty and paying them to write the article.
But those guys won't be objective
Like, they'll describe communism "A movement for the liberation of workers"
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.
You know what I would love
I would love to get a bunch of quora writers
Matthew Bates, John Cate
Habib Fanny, Jon Davis
They tend to be very objective
And represent both sides as honestly as possible
I'd say Ernest Adams but he's a cuck
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.
If you want, find anything that asks questions about trump
You will find people who will try to be objective
Maybe I should try it, huh
It'll look good on a resume!
And maybe ask for donations hehehe
Eh they will just someone who will do it for free
The benefit of Quora is that if theres a good answer, it will stay there.
What no
I mean donations from readers
Like wikipedia
Problem is, the people who are on those sites are people with nothing better do to
Make any change to any political article, and it will be reverted no matter how many sources you put on
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
