I will no longer donate to you Wikipedia. You’ve become a political tool.
Take a long hard look at this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jimmy_Dore The most recent in a long line of politically motivated sacrifices of fact.
Facts and popular opinion are not always the same, and you’re supposed to be impartial. Reality is not a popularity contest. This is emblematic of an endemic problem. Your systematic avoidance of uncomfortable facts makes your version of reality sanitized to the point of harmful revisitionst history and outright propaganda. There are thousands of such articles that fall into this category.
Your response to Dore’s article is just the final example. The very fact that it’s pointless to tell you about some of the others because you’ll do what you want regardless and I have no recourse but to complain and keep my money, is another reason I will no longer donate.
Wiki, like so many other huge Internet systems, should be converted into a public utility. You’re a library in effect, and should not be subject to autocratic rule. You’ve been captured by the current ruling powers. You’re merely state media now, with none of the theoretical accountability that traditionally comes with being part of the state.
You will no longer be receiving funds from me. And I encourage all donors to withhold funds until such time that Wikipedia becomes a bastion of true impartiality as opposed to its facade, or fades from history.
