I spend like 20 minutes a day on wiki

2018-10-20 17:31:43 UTC  

There's some other pages I want to edit

2018-10-20 17:32:12 UTC  

That would be great. It’s good to get some edits out of the way to increase your credibility

2018-10-20 17:32:18 UTC  

I do grammar and formatting

2018-10-20 17:32:20 UTC  

do you just fix stuff that's obviously wrong to build up a reputation?

2018-10-20 17:32:30 UTC  

@Selma Today's birb is the falcon.

2018-10-20 17:32:49 UTC  

Yeah, but rn the IE page is unlocked so you just need approval from a big account to edit

2018-10-20 17:32:58 UTC  

Which is easy

2018-10-20 17:33:33 UTC  

Also, if I decide to edit non IE related pages, you think the IE Wikipedia team could back me up?

2018-10-20 17:33:50 UTC  

I want to add some good information on immigration

2018-10-20 17:34:27 UTC  

I don't know what help I can offer, but will do anything you need if you can describe what it is.

2018-10-20 17:37:00 UTC  

Maybe, depends on how active people are

2018-10-20 17:37:16 UTC  

I would be willing to back you up, you should dm @Steve - NJ

2018-10-20 17:37:22 UTC  

Thank you for that lovely picture of that peregrine falcon, Nate!

2018-10-20 17:37:31 UTC  

I knew I was in the right server!

2018-10-20 17:38:08 UTC  

Ha! You should probably set a profile picture @Selma. Welcome aboard. Ian will contact you soon

2018-10-20 17:38:26 UTC  

Well, I did set one up, but it doesn't appear to be working.

2018-10-20 17:38:49 UTC  

I had the same issue. Are you on a computer or your phone?

2018-10-20 17:39:33 UTC  

Okay, there we go.

2018-10-20 17:39:40 UTC  

I think I had not press saved.

2018-10-20 17:39:42 UTC  

save*

2018-10-20 17:39:59 UTC  

Hey it's a Digimon. Pokechu or whatever.

2018-10-20 17:40:09 UTC

2018-10-20 17:41:31 UTC

2018-10-20 17:41:51 UTC  
2018-10-20 17:42:09 UTC  

put it in cyberstrike too m8

2018-10-20 17:43:12 UTC  

@NateDahl76 Done and done, Sir.

2018-10-20 17:44:59 UTC  

That pikachu picture is very cute.

2018-10-20 17:45:09 UTC  

Thanks for sharing it.

2018-10-20 17:52:37 UTC  

Indeed

2018-10-20 17:52:50 UTC  

@NateDahl76 The Wikipedia page on immigration has a lot of bad information that can be refuted fairly easily.

For example, it says immigration is a net benefit to the federal budget. It doesn't mention that when you add up federal, state, and local, immigration is a $50 billion drain.

It cites statistics saying immigration is a net benefit on wages. It doesn't mention that immigrants lower wages for workers they directly compete with, while the benefits largely go to the employers.

It makes it sound like immigration is the most wonderful thing ever, but I could change that.

The idea is for me to make a bunch of edits, and, when liberals inevitably remove them, have you guys jump in, revert them, and gang up on them in the talk page.

2018-10-20 17:53:29 UTC  

How big is the Wikipedia team?

2018-10-20 17:55:10 UTC  

Participation ebbs and flows. I don't know how monumental of a task this will be, but it shouldn't be too hard to drum up support with some time put in and the support of leadership. We could make a PSA on fireside or something about the importance of shoring up wiki.

2018-10-20 17:57:47 UTC  

We could make a massive difference. Wikipedia is the default go to source when people don't know something, so if we turned got some facts in that make immigration look bad, we could genuinely interfluence public opinion.

2018-10-20 17:58:27 UTC  

It shouldn't be too big of a task. I do a lot of research on immigration in my free time and I'll do the editing, I just need a group of guys to back me up.

2018-10-20 18:01:02 UTC  

@Selma Bulbasaur is my favorite! Antifa is basically Team Rocket irl

It's the only bulbasaur I had in my Pokémon folder, but you've got good taste in starters.

2018-10-20 18:05:33 UTC  

Can someone with nickname editting privileges change my state tag to MT?
