Anons should read that one about western philosophy.

Seattle is one of several urban marketing nodes for new soft drinks, this type of thing is used for marketing purposes. The content of the article itself suggests promotional purposes for whatever soft drink manufacturer, shilling which is contrary to the ostensible purpose of Wikipedia.

I don't get all the backlash wikipedia gets here and in other places, anon. I mean, it's one of the biggests projects of free knowledge in the world. The lads are often in dire straits, begging our money just to keep the things going straight and smooth for free. It might not be perfectly trustworthy but they're good enough as a primer. So why all the hate?
Why some people seemly are in a campaign to make us wikilurkers to feel bad about reading our generation's version of the Britannica?
It doesn't make sense.

Many organizations have paid staffers on edit duty and brigade relevant wikipedia articles. Countries/governments, multinationals, international organizations, political groups, etc. Therefore, unless the article is so irrelevant that no one cares about it, you'll mostly find propaganda.

I've been looking for a good Wikipedia alternative, even if it is a product I have to pay for. Any recs?

>Martin of Aragon died from a combination of indigestion and uncontrollable laughing. According to tradition, Martin was suffering from indigestion on account of eating an entire goose when his favorite jester, Borra, entered the king's bedroom. When Martin asked Borra where he had been, the jester replied with: "Out of the next vineyard, where I saw a young deer hanging by his tail from a tree, as if someone had so punished him for stealing figs." This joke caused the king to die from laughter.
This has got to be the most based death ever recorded.

Because 90% of the time, people read half the article and stop there. And wikipedia has some incredibly shitty, outright incorrect, uncited, contradictory articles. Try switching languages on controversial stuff and see how it changes. Wiki autists are a pain in the ass too, pseudo academics that use their karma and autism badges to revert any fucking change they don't like. They use that fake neutral tone that hides any argument or controversy that actual shit needs. The karansebes article outright ignores all modern academics who say it never happened. Small articles are often written by one guy and uncited.

>Cod War
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobster_War
>The Lobster War [...] was a dispute over spiny lobsters which occurred from 1961 to 1963 between Brazil and France.
>The Brazilian government refused to allow French fishing vessels to catch spiny lobsters 100 miles (160 km) off the Brazilian northeast coast, arguing that lobsters "crawl along the continental shelf", while the French maintained that "lobsters swim" and that, therefore, they might be caught by any fishing vessel from any country.
>The dispute was resolved unilaterally by Brazil, which extended its territorial waters to a 200-nautical-mile [...].

Thanks. That's not exactly it but it's related. There's a specific pattern/shade combination that permanently damages your eye's ability to process colors properly. It damages cones/rods within the eye and the brain processes them not just as artifacts but dimmed perception of color. I can't remember but I think it's related to visual changes at dawn/dusk (when rods become more effective).

Wikipedia had enough funding to pay for server and staff for the next century. So what did they do? They hired dozens of admins and other staff to make bloated features no one asked for.

It's not that it doesn't make sense, the problem is that they're using this as a way to say that
>before Jews took over America women just got randomly raped in the streets because the word "rape" was invented in 1979 by Benjamin Glasweiststein
which is just factually wrong because, just for example, rape was punishable by death by torture for over 3,000 years in Europe and there are numerous words for rape (ironically the word "rape" itself is a very shitty corruption of a term referring to having consensual sex with someone whose parents didn't want you fucking).

>>18622119
so why is that bad?

>>18622133
Because they're using pseudointellectual schizobabble to justify making the claim that Somalis need to be imported into Maine by the boatload because because Jews took over the US financial system women were getting raped in the streets. For the entirety of human history up until 1945, no one ever punished a rapist, or any crime at all. It's a very dumb way of attempting to argue that Jews ruling the world is necessary to prevent mass rape in the streets or whatever because "justice" was only invented in 1963 or whatever.
