Wikipedia Reviews 439

Wikipedia is so bad, they are unreliable and when my appeal was rejected, they started the decline reason with the word “And”! I thought they expected you to use good English and admins start a whole paragraph with that? They’re so rude as well!

Also, their policies are too strict and should allow for a 2nd chance when blocked.

Overall, I think you should only use Wikipedia for basic research and find other places.

While I don’t necessarily hate Wikipedia, I don’t think they deserve even one star.

Wikipedia is no longer. The misuse of editing and distorting of history and reality makes it a site of fiction. No longer useful for reliable information.

Great site for finding information I need.

Spent ages putting info in off a very reliable source only for it to be taken down by soME idiot. DONT GIVE THIS SITE A PENNY. MODERATORS ARE STUPID AND TAKE YOUR HARD WORK DOWN.

It's full of criminals who slander, oppress and deny people from proper courts.

Jails in some countries are healthier than English Wikipedia. I am scared to think about more isolated languages...

Dozens of crazy criminals are very active and not going anywhere since Jimmy Wales doesn't even admit their existence.

Jimmy Wales was busy with $5 scams.

Jimmy Wales doesn't care about tortured children in his projects. Jimmy Wales only cares to scam stupid and rich Sweden in 2019 with really loud lies. That's his top priority. I noticed this in 2021. Proofs were super easy to find.

They don't understand even English. Other shitholes from Jimmy Wales aren't better. I don't have energy to report them.

They play Russian roulette even with salaries. This is so horrible.

They don't apologize for their criminals and crimes.

Kill, bomb and nuke. That's the only language they understand.

I like some content and respect people behind good content but organisation is so flawed in many ways.
Their emergency emails are pretty much ignored. It's really broken. Few or nobody cares about it.

Most medical content isn't wrong but not peer reviewed by governments and big experts. Don't listen to poor people from poor countries. You may easily fail with your medical condition if you are unlucky.

Many other important topics are pretty empty after 20 years. Most things are about history. Not about modern geography, engineering, science, software.

They also turn art, concerts, movies, music and theatre into boring and useless stuff.

Jimmy Wales never owned a movie theater, but you blindly trust him every time in all art... You people are crazy. You've all been doing this for decades. All the people I see on this planet are clearly crazy.

They even have "Wikipedia is not" page where they pretty much confirm the scam. Nobody cares about it.

Jimmy Wales is crazy. Jimmy Wales is a scammer.

Indian zoomers who are just reading this cannot invalidate my findings and my experiences. They only care about shiny things. They don't care about wasted time and money.

You should act more responsible than overfinance the budget of this serial scammer.

I also reported Jimmy Wales as a scammer to Australia, but with less detail as their form was limited for some reason...

I highly recommend suing him for millions of years if possible in your country. He's such an entrepreneur.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is pretty incompetent about Wikipedia in WHO.

Wikipedia is the worst information website that I have ever seen in my life. Full of biased and false information everywhere. Only allow small group of admins to control this website’s content. They will do anything to threaten/bully you and ask you to pay for create and update pages. They can also block and ban you whenever they want. No independent/neutral point of views, no freedom of speech and absolutely far from “free” encyclopedia and “real” news. DO NOT TRUST THIS WEBSITE!!!

It is a biased information dump. They don't allow facts to be posted. I will not donate to it. Do not to spend your money and time on it.

I believe that all internet has been a destructive force for humanity and therefore I cannot in good conscience donate to Wikipedia

Information controlled unrighteously.
Wars happened after noting 'verification needed' next to an article that appears to be a fake news.
And then gets blocked immediately with a claim 'not here to build Wikipedia'.

Wikipedia clearly already sold, secretly.
Or just an ancient serpent who receives the entire world!

Don't use it.
Use other ones.

"The world's largest source of information"? More like "the world's largest joke." As if all the political bias and shadowbans weren't bad enough, even seemingly normal articles like those for Joy Division are under heavy surveillance by gatekeeping admins.

I added sourced genres for the articles of 'Unknown Pleasures' and 'Closer' that came from an encyclopedic book. However, an admin named FMSky removed them because they were not based on popular opinion. The book, 'A History of Rock and Dance Music' by Piero Scaruffi, is widely available and can be found on Google Shopping. FMSky also told me that they aren't an admin, but they behave like one anyway as they are often involved in censoring articles.

Eventually, another admin named Woovee visited my page to tell me that an ENTIRE committee of admins agreed on my source being unwelcome. This is just because the book author's website is self-published. I cited the book, not the website. It felt like a school conference, but worse. Woovee also told me that it's the journalist's opinion that matters, not the user's. In reality, it's the Wikipedia admins that control the whole narrative. Woovee told me this when I removed the "gothic rock" genre from the 'Closer' article, not realizing that a music review already mentioned the genre in the article.

In short, Wikipedia is the right-hand man of TikTok, ruining the world one step at a time. If you want to support Joy Division, buy their merch, stream their music, perhaps even get inspired by them. The admins mentioned in this review are actually normal users like you and me, but are completely brainwashed by Wikipedia's toxicity. If you're still thinking of supporting this dystopian database, you're better off peeling potatoes at a food drive or pushing your luck on a dating site/app.

Crime! Misleading is crime. Wikipedia is misleading public. Sitejabber/Simple.Wikipedia. Org Reviews.

It's very obvious that Wikipedia has a lot of nonsense or so called disinformation, the same (corrupt) propaganda stories (lies) the governments want you to believe.
Not a reliable source to get your information from. It is always from a "left side" point of view. I can't even imagine that there are people who donate to this junk site.

The administrates do a very BAD job. They interfere way too much, when editors who think they own Wikipedia over step their position. All who edit should be treated with equal respect.

Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source, as information is long out of date in many articles. In fact Wikipedia should have a fake news warning.

If you try and update information with multiple references, it will still be removed almost instantly.

It is very worrying how many other internet services use Wikipedia as their main source of information. The WWW is becoming very unreliable and frustrating.

Please be very careful when relying on Wikipedia.

If i could give this site a -5 i would. When looking for a honest opinion on a person or company i seem to be getting a left view on everything. It amazes me why this site get so much airplay, its wrong . Avoid this info site , you night as well make something up in your head

Content is flagrantly opinionated with content written by anyone, particularly the unemployed with excess time on hand.

By Dae Yun Kim: Wikipedia is not accurate & misleading public with unreliable information. Wikipedia claim, Pacific International University is diploma mill, but this is inaccurate, because I attended California Pacific School Of Theology/Glendale, California(associated with Pacific International University), & attended California Pacific School Of Theology physically for 2years & got through all the process & received Ph.D. degree from Pacific International University. And also Wikipedia talked about accreditation, but since Pacific International University is religious Exempt University, Pacific International University is exempted from U.S. education regulation & standard. Therefore Pacific International Univesity degrees are legal, lawful. And also since Pacific International University degrees are religious degrees, Pacific International Degrees are recognized by religious organizations. And therefore conclusion is that, Pacific International Degrees are constitutional & legitimate degrees. Therefore since Wikipedia was hurting all the graduates Of Pacific International University through inaccurate information, I want Wikipedia close down in order to protect future victims. And these people are people who received degree from Pacific International University(associated with California Pacific School Of Theology/Glendale, California). Pat Boone(Celebrity), Warren Duffy(Celebrity), Carlbaugh(Celebrity), Jack Van Impe(Celebrity), Ye Young Su(예영수/korean celebrity pastor). John Blanchard(celebrity). 1999 graduation key note speaker(Jerry Falwell/celebrity), 2000 graduation key note speaker(Pat Robertson(celebrity), 2001 graduation key note speaker(John Blanchard/celebrity), graduation key note speaker(David Hockking). Therefore I am proud to became alumnus of Pacific International University.

Wikipedia has been plagued by inaccuracies for many years. The open editing process allows anyone to present falsehoods as facts without providing any factual evidence to support their claims. The information on Wikipedia is often misleading and at times discriminatory towards minority groups. Google should stop recommending this unreliable source as do other search engines. The lack of editorial oversight and fact-checking makes Wikipedia an untrustworthy reference that frequently publishes biased, incorrect content masquerading as truth. Until Wikipedia implements stronger quality control and vetting procedures, it should not be treated as a credible resource.

The gorilla skeptics are the editors spoiling a 'free' resource into their own viewpoint. They change content as their are heavily biased, in denial of real issues and unable to hear a view other than their own.

Wikipedia was a great idea but become a victim and victimised by its own success. No-one to police the editors/ police of Wikipedia.

all paid articles, showcases of artists and products that can only be added by paying the publishers, shameful and dangerous regarding sensitive topics such as health therapies and medical products
