Look, I have many problems with Wikipedia, most of all its deletionism, but its editorial slant isn’t “woke”. It’s centrist tech bro. Star Trek Season 27 episode 43? Needs its own article. FLOSS project with five users? Needs its own article. Everything else? Relevance criteria! Literal expert scientist contributed something? We don’t accept primary sources!

But until there’s something better, yeah, we should stand in its defense.

@chucker I don't get the "We don’t accept primary sources!" thing. What this means is that if you actually know something about something then you can't contribute.

@TimWardCam @chucker If you have an original idea that has not been put forward already, that’s OK if Wikipedia won’t accept it. Just blog or publish it!
