ABSTRACT
This essay uncovers the systematic, intentional distortion of Holocaust history on the English-language Wikipedia, the world’s largest encyclopedia. In the last decade, a group of committed Wikipedia editors have been promoting a skewed version of history on Wikipedia, one touted by right-wing Polish nationalists, which whitewashes the role of Polish society in the Holocaust and bolsters stereotypes about Jews. Due to this group’s zealous handiwork, Wikipedia’s articles on the Holocaust in Poland minimize Polish antisemitism, exaggerate the Poles’ role in saving Jews, insinuate that most Jews supported Communism and conspired with Communists to betray Poles (ydokomuna or Judeo–Bolshevism), blame Jews for their own persecution, and inflate Jewish collaboration with the Nazis. To explain how distortionist editors have succeeded in imposing this narrative, despite the efforts of opposing editors to correct it, we employ an innovative methodology. We examine 25 public-facing Wikipedia articles and nearly 300 of Wikipedia’s back pages, including talk pages, noticeboards, and arbitration cases. We complement these with interviews of editors in the field and statistical data gleaned through Wikipedia’s tool suites. This essay contributes to the study of Holocaust memory, revealing the digital mechanisms by which ideological zeal, prejudice, and bias trump reason and historical accuracy. More broadly, we break new ground in the field of the digital humanities, modelling an in-depth examination of how Wikipedia editors negotiate and manufacture information for the rest of the world to consume.

If you are from a struggling ethnic minority of Jews, don't expect any truth from wikipedia which is flooded with a billion Muslims, many writing weakly peer reviewed papers in academia.

Still, Wales said, the community takes criticisms about adhering to neutral points of view seriously and has a special working committee reviewing its practices. “The neutral point of view is nonnegotiable,” he said.
That quote would be funny if it was being serious

For many people who have tried to participate in Wikipedia it has been long known to be run by a select few "volunteers" who has a mangle of rules and commitees that make it impossible for regular people, or even professionals in the area of expertise, to make an impact. This has left is as a tool for publicity hounds, and an echo chanber for a small segment of deveoped activists. One thing that will never get into wikipedea is the truth of any contraversal topic, or any comments against a well fundered interest.
At one point, for example, it was decided that every biography had to has a section on ideal speculation of the homosexualy proclivities of every historical figure. Objecting to a section on Goerge Washington's, William Shaskepears, or King Alfreds sexual preferences would be relentlessly attacked.
And so it goes with many aspects of Wikipedea.
Now the conservative right is taking aim at the process. They rightfully point out that opinions and interests sway over the project and it is a distortion of any real truth.

You can always depend on the guardian to give you useless news of the class warefare results from last nights match...
It is just what they do. This is not going to help or save online bookstores at all. Except for a few specialty shops, the retail format is a dead letter.
Maybe the Gardian can now report actacly who the "Hamas Health Department" they keep quoting is... like two guys without shoes and green scarfs on their head sworn to kill the infidels?

It's a perfectly symmetric relationship.
Our chirality would be just as dangerous to it, as it is to us.
These organisms sound less dangerous to us (because it's harder for them to digest us) than ones more similar to ourselves (that can eat us)
Bacteria don't kill us by eating us... usually.

Like there is any debate is horrific.
Criminalizing abortion does not reduce the number of abortions it just kills women.
Immigration is good for the GDP but not for individual workers in a hypercompetitive economy.
And yes Israel and more importantly Benjamin netanyahu and the right wing hardliners of Israel are committing a genocide.
We don't need AI to smooth things over we need to stop getting gas lit by our ruling class.
It is hard to get SO many things wrong in one post but the fake insight on Israel is the worst.
Israel is not committing genocide. It is preventing it. Specifically it is prevent the Genocide of Jews which has been repeatedly the case since Mohamed first killed all the Jews in Medina.
It is about Jews. Do you know the difference between Zionist and Jews? NOTHING. They are ALL Jews and our right to our homeland, and daily prayer to return to our home transcends every Jew in every culture. You mistake Jewish democracy and tolerance of dissent for national identity. We are united, if for no other reason than because of Fascists like you who want to kill us.
Right now, depending on how you count Jews, there is about 15.2 million of us in the world and HALF are living in Israel. So you fascists just want to kill half of us or enslave us. F' OFF. That is what the German Fascists did. Fascists are Fascists. YOU ARE A BAD PERSON. And no about of misinformation is going to change that. Only you can change that, but Nazi's like you never change.
These Islamofascist who wants to kill all the Jews and destroy their nation. They supports the rape and enslavement of Women. In fact Mosab Hassan Yousef mother was raped and enslaved by Jihadists and he was raised in a Muslim Brotherhood fascist school. You should actually pay attention some day of what he says. He is talking about 1500+ year old theology of genocide and hatred. We are not just talking about the crazy people like Hassan Ahmed Abd al-Rahman Muhammed al-Banna, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, Abu Hurairah, Haji Shariatullah, all the way back to Mohammed. Islamofascists looking to kill in the name of theological purity... one and all.
