tor reversed them all right away, insisting that because he had found some barmy book claiming that nearly all electronic profucts were based on valve s in the 1980s, they must be and he 'corrected' that point and similar othe rs, for some deluded value of corrected. Wiki really needs to grow a pair a nd ban idiots like that. It needs some resident subject experts who can ban the very out there & destructive individuals, but not overreach so as to i nterfere with the legitimate editing process.

Some good points. Wiki has done remarkably well, with as you say a rather o ptimistic model. It's a useful first place to look for many things, but onl y that. Now it's the time for Wiki to decide whether it wants to up its gam e or carry on with deluded idiots sitting on some pages here & there. I thi nk it'll continue doing the latter.

Probably the latter, but I think the reason is just for Pareto-principle time and budget constraints. You can stamp out 80% of the poseurs and trolls and pranksters without too much effort, but the last 20% proves intransigent and starts exponentially sucking energy when you try to take them on. Maybe best to wall them into their little kingdoms like the Cask of Amontillado and hope they get bored/institutionalized. "Better is the enemy of good enough" and all that

that.

er optimistic model. It's a useful first place to look for many things, but only that. Now it's the time for Wiki to decide whether it wants to up its game or carry on with deluded idiots sitting on some pages here & there. I think it'll continue doing the latter.

There are already many articles where editing is restricted. Adding a few t opic experts purely to keep out the most extreme loons would be quite doabl e - that could leave them access to all the unimportant stuff, ie fiction, tv programs & similar stuff.

By far the better way is to accept edits from the extreme loons, but only ever show those edits to their authors. That way they feel satisfied that their weird opinions are being noticed, but nobody else does.

Ya, that's called "shadow banning" or "ghost banning." Historically a popular tool on Reddit and with censors in the People's Republic of China

,Facebook, and other Communist controlled communication channels. Don't need no steenkin' free speech. Snowflakes can't handle it.

They aren't a Communist-controlled communication channel, they're a corporate-controlled communication channel. Nobody's forcing anyone at gunpoint to be there. You don't like it, leave.

Communist, Nazi, same difference.
