The Wikipedia Takeover

Prominent gender and media studies professors from across the country converged recently to help host what was dubbed by organizers as a “Feminist, Anti-Racist Wikipedia Edit-a-thon” to create or influence dozens of entries on the online encyclopedia.

As far as history goes, many thanks are due to our veterans who have an interest in keeping unit and ship histories complete and accurate.

Thanks, indeed. Homer's uncle was navigator on the Chason crew. (3rd from L., kneeling) There is a unit diary on the same site. I was floored when I first discovered this information was available, thanks to vets.

A Claremont Graduate University endowment fund sponsored the effort, which promoted creating and “improving” entries dedicated to: feminists; feminist theories; science studies; science, technology and society; human sexuality; artificial intelligence; and film theory; according to an email that announced the event to the Claremont Colleges community, as well as the “Edit-a-thon Wikipedia Page.”

Not to worry, most people won't bother with any but the science and technology pages. It would be hard to imagine how feminism or any other ism could change those.

They are famous for rewriting history and omitting the facts that don't support their agenda.

we have always been at war with eurasia

Gosh. I’ve used Wikipedia often over the past couple of years, and donated the amount ($5) they suggested they needed from every user to keep it up and running. If it goes totally hogwash liberal, it won’t be worth a nickel.
:o(

Well the sexuality part rhymes with the liberal scheme to set about a million traps for the young and confused.

Eurasia, Myasia, Everybody’s Asia...

If you go to it for tech information you’ll never see the garbage pit. There’s not too much about Windows or Linux that lends itself to liberal agendas. However it’s not just a techpedia.

Things like Conservapedia are part of the reason why we’re losing to the left.

The left quietly takes over mainstream or non-idealogical resources (be it news organizations, Hollywood, the education system or websites). The general public doesn’t realize they’ve been co-opted.

Conservatives start openly conservative competitors to the co-opted resources.

The average, low information, member of the public is then left with the impression that the left wing resource is still “middle of the road,” while the conservative resource is biased. As a result the conservative resources are immediately discounted.

We need to play the long game and undo what the left did and reconvince the public that conservative is mainstream.

I fear we don’t have that kind of time to right it without a civil re-rest (I won’t call it unrest to reclaim your country from tyrants).

[Resolute Conservative]

Our private school either.

...but no photo of Sarah Palin?"

That's because you are suffering from PDS. You'll find Sarah under the failed reality TV stars category. She isn't, and has never been a political power of any sort beyond those with PDS.

sounds good to me - haven't read that book in ages.

I should read that again as it seems to be a users guide to the next 4 years

[henkster]

Now where have I seen this stuff before? :)

[Homer_J_Simpson]

I don’t know. I don’t recall posting that particular information before.

The French stole all the vowels from Eastern Europe.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Leaving those poor Czechs and Poles with more consonants than they know what to do with :-)

[HiTech RedNeck]

How about a “Balapedia” a la Fox.

[GeronL]

Like Conservapedia?

>World Book ..

Or look back further at pre 1920’s history books.

As for old, Encyclopedia Britannica 9th or 11th ed.

A lot of old paper going for the price of postage these days ..

[Mears]

Naaaah. The Hawaiian language has the vowel market cornered.
