It’s great if you want to read the plot of a movie without watching it or find out about the history of a famous building. It just can’t be trusted for anything controversial.
It is a quick way to give me some idea who or what someone \ something is.
I would never use it for any of today’s hot button issues as there is too much bias.
Wikipedia is only on illusion for idiots.
I cannot count the number of liberals that I have educated about Wackapedia. Anyone at anytime can edit it. Truth? Honesty? Hah!!
Personal experience.
Some wiki articles on leftists are “frozen” by wikipedia. So the existing leftist praise for the subject can’t be countered by facts. I tried, and was rejected.
Pretty much agree with you (heck, Conservapedia has quite a few articles highlighting the leftist bias on Wikipedia, as you can see here: https://www.conservapedia.com/Examples_of_Bias_in_Wikipedia). However, I do massively disagree with you on ONE thing, and that’s your inference that anarchism is of the far right. It actually isn’t of the far right, if anything, like Nazism and Communism, it is of the far left. Don’t believe me? Just look at Karl Marx, Mikhail Bakunin, Sacco and Vazetti, Michel Foucault, Jean-Paul Sartre, Bill Ayers, Noam Chomsky, and the like, heck, even Pierre Proudhun, the guy who founded anarchism. You are right that Nazism is not even close to being right of center, let alone the far right, however.
