    Fucking shittypedia. I wish we could make a coup d’etat among Wikipedia’s editors, fucking bastards.

      Wikipedia is based in the United States, which means that it is controlled by the US government one way or another. So the only option is to create alternatives.

        Sure, I just don’t think you’re achieving the same, if you create an alternative you’re going to get a lot less people reading that, and also it will not have the enormous amount of information Wikipedia has.

            And who’s going to maintain the thousands of thousands of articles? Sure, some may not need constant updating, but a lot will, unless you constantly fetch all the data.

    Reading that first article, it was like:

    “The Hong Kong editors were physically harmed by these Chinese mainland wikipedians.”

    “How?”

    “No we will not elaborate.”

      “Well, y’see, during the riots when we were beating a Chinese mainland tourist we’re 1000% sure was a journalist, one of us stubbed our toe. Literally oppression! The Black Book of Communism lists it as an official casualty!”

    Does someone have a link to the first open letter by the WMC?
