    Another fun thing is how they use “CCP” in entries of well known members of the party, but “CPC” is used in articles of less well known ones. Shows again that “CCP” is used for propagandistic reasons.

    Wikipedia is the incarnation of a certain type of white suburbanite: affluent, resentful, and snippy because they are desperately afraid of confrontation.

      I just looked at the English Wikipedia page for the NKVD; it is so dishonest lmao.

      1. They don’t even use the translation of the official name for the English page.
      2. The sources are all western or antisoviet.
      3. The wording is straight up loaded with “SoVIeTs BaAdD!11!!!”

        Cool thing about Wikipedia is that anyone can edit it, as long as you give a source for edits more substantial than grammar/sentence structure changes. To prevent “edit wars” as they call them, it’s generally recommended to start a thread on the talk page prior to any large scale edits of an article, or in response to someone reverting your edit.

          Problem is that bots will just change the page back.

            I’ll be honest, my experience with Wikipedia is limited to minor spelling, grammar, and sentence structure changes. I only ever got more interested in Wikipedia, and trusting it a bit more, when I read into its governance structure and found it to be fairly democratic, supporting a consensus style of democracy for both edits and admin/bureaucrat positions.

            I was under the impression that bots were either banned or maybe only used by sitewide admins for protection against graffiti and the like? I might be misremembering though.

              From my own experience, bots will actually help lock vandalization in through this process:

              1. Article contains no obvious factual inaccuracies
              2. Someone adds sneaky vandalization/lies deep in the article
              3. Same person adds obvious vandalization, very soon after #2
              4. Bot/human editor sees #3 and reverts it to #2, not to #1
              5. Human editor adds something of value while not noticing the sneaky lies that are still there
              6. Any attempts to revert vandalization at this point will be auto-reverted to #5.

              Vandalization has now been locked in, and only very observing individuals that go through the edit history will notice.
