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.
All content in the Wikipedia is libre, if lack of content is your concern you can just fork the Wikipedia.
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.
The same (and more) people doing it currently… you want to make a better non-US controlled Wikipedia? I am sure you will be able to motivate people to help you if that is your genuine goal.
But people will realize if the only goal is to replace the US centric view with a China centric one and probably stay with the original.
ProkeWiki is the communist alternative!
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?
I think this is the WMC open letter mentioned in the article.
Main-land China wikipedia users have no need to go to the Wikipedia for pro-CCP views, they got plenty of that in the local news and the government propaganda.
Irregardless of if they agree with the pro-CCP view, it can be worth-while to go see what the contra-CCP people say, for which the Wikipedia is a relatively good and somewhat fact-checked source. But of course no-one should be (or usually is) under the false-impression that it is a “neutral” source. Obviously main-land Chinese people know that the Wikipedia is a US owned and operated website and thus can form their own opinion on the “facts” presented there.
