From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An encyclopedia that anyone can edit is going to have grave problems in reporting controversial topics.

The history of communism, the Soviet Union and the cold war, as reported by Wickepedia, is in substantial part commie propaganda and revisionist history, and I suspect that any attempt to remedy this would result in edit wars that would reduce, rather than improve, the quality of information. The article on containment and the truman doctrine is accurate and uncontroversial history, but the article on NSC-68, which is a synonym for containment and covers the same events, is commie bunkum at the time I write this. If one article is true, the other article must be false.

I doubt the Wickepedia project is well suited to such topics, and do not intend to spend too much of my energy writing stuff that some lying scum might promptly “correct”. If I write something good, should go on my web page, not Wickepedia's. But when I see a particularly untruthful article, I am provoked to correct it.

Edit war under way on Nazism page. I really should not waste my time, but nonetheless, I am. An idiot, "neon white" wants the Nazism page to say that Nazis were conservatives. Now one can make a case that the Nazis were right wing. One can even make a case that they were pro capitalist, if only in the sense that they wanted capitalists to serve the state, when a lot of the voters wanted to slaughter the bourgeoisie. But conservative!
