The serene presentation of Wikipedia's front-page "In the news" section belies the messy truth behind the headlines: a never-ending newsroom argument about matters both serious and silly
Not what I thought you were going to say! I do think there are real grounds for discussion about how social justice issues are handled both on-wiki and in WMF grant-making. But Russia did, you know, *invade* Ukraine. That is what started the conflict.
this is Interesting. The Woke have arrived.

"ITN is one of the most prominent features on Wikipedia's main page, which is the most-visited page on Wikipedia by far."
interesting. This is the very first time I have seen the ITN splash page.
it has zero appeal to me

interesting article...
Wikipedia has earned the reputation of being very Woke in recent years.
it is still a good resource, but Lots of stuff is heavily biased.
much is obviously Not True but it's "fit to print" anyway

my best to you all, I will continue to donate and contribute anyway
Thanks for your comment, mexsudo. I am curious, in what ways do you feel Wikipedia is too "woke"?
Ukraine, Crimea, Donbas... all have inaccurate history.
"Russian Invasion" is not an impartial statement. "conflict" would be neutral
I do realize the US Government has a mandated narrative.
this is the tip of the iceburg
