Jimmy Wales trusts the process (theverge.com)

Slightly ironic, given Wales is a co-founder of Wikipedia, not the founder. Probably would have been nice to ensure the article got it correctly, considering the drama that happened around it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales#Co-founder_status_...

Wikipedia is not what it claims to be. It is signed up to the SDGs which are a top down UN directive rather than a truly grassroots programme.

A lot of Wikipedia is a joke.

The most glaring problem of all is that most of its labour is unpaid, despite its content being used by commercial ventures such as Amazon.
