    wikipedia is already a great non profit source of public knowledge though i don’t see the benefit of fracturing it

    i can see a benefit to using this to replace things like fandom wikia though

      The moderators of Wikipedia are largely a small, insular community that don’t always care about accuracy when it comes from anyone outside their clique.

      Look I really hate to shatter your perception of Wikipedia and no doubt Wikipedia is a beautiful idea with many beautiful who have contributed to it…

      … but at this point Wikipedia could use a nice fracturing, like “piggy bank thrown against the wall” style fracturing.

      The organization is standing in the way of the idea at this point and it is largely not a healthy organization for the people participating in it.
