now reading about the Incredible String Band. Potentially very bleak Wikipedia sentence: "Her whereabouts have been publicly unknown since 1986, when she was last seen hitchhiking across the Arizona desert in the U.S."

Haha, just seen that Wikipedia states "Morrison quit the band in 1966 and went onto a successful career as a solo artist." UNDERPLAYING IT A BIT NO?

Lunch time upload in no way related to logging out of Bluesky by accident, no. *Coughs* open.spotify.com/track/19eCRv... Here's a fucking GREAT rock and roll tune from Them before Van Morrison binned them off to go solo. Whatever happened to that guy, eh? Anyway, here's 3 minutes of brilliance.

Back when people said “dont use wikipedia as a source,” its citations sucked. You didnt know where any info came from or if it was any good. Wikipedia then spent decades improving the quality and clarity of its sourcing.
What LLM can provide clear and accurate attributions of its claims?

If doomsday arrives and we can preserve just one part of the Internet, I’d choose Wikipedia without hesitation. Without it, the Internet loses half its meaning.
I stand with Wikipedia!

If any hack wants to talk to people who know how Wikipedia actually works, and are critical about it, hit me up. I helped start a forum for Wikipedia criticism long ago. I'm not much involved anymore, but there's lots of people there who keep it trucking. bsky.app/profile/will...

Ed Martin, interim US Attorney for DC charged Wikipedia of “allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda to the American public”. Martin appeared more than 150 on Russian Kremlin-run media, which spread disinformation. Oh the irony www.huffpost.com/entry/ed….

Fortunately, Wikipedia is well-organized and you can download its entire database here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/W….
If it's not free, then it's not freedom.

This would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic. Last year, Wikipedia put a ban on the ADL as a source of info because the ADL is notoriously dishonest. Now Wikipedia has an "antisemitism" problem and Debbie here has the ADL's back. Remarkable how that works.

ADL faces Wikipedia ban over reliability concerns on Israel, antisemitism - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
Wikipedia editors argued that ADL tends to label legitimate criticism of Israel as antisemitism.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz@wassermanschultz.house.gov
Wikipedia has a bias and antisemitism problem. ADL research shows it. @wikipedia.org must enforce its rules and curb coordinated campaigns to manipulate content. Rep. Don Bacon and I Ied a bipartisan call to get answers on how they'll do it. wassermanschultz.house.gov/news/documen...

Fun fact: by a broad definition, the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (UESP), which is now the ELDER SCROLLS playerbase's central fan wiki, is six years older than Wikipedia
olive consumer@machete.gay
A cool thing about Oblivion being relevant again is the return to wider relevance of the UESP, one of the most beautiful, perfect, fan-made creations to ever exist. There really isn't a single modern fan wiki that holds a candle to it and it's sort of beautiful, in its own way.

Wikipedia literally says “don’t cite Wikipedia as a source.”
Eugene Vinitsky 🍒@eugenevinitsky.bsky.social
Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

Most Wikipedia articles concerning literary magazines are in need of a tune-up. Started work on that today. I'd like to make that a project of mine for the foreseeable future.

New Ed Martin letter—this time to Wikipedia about its tax-exempt status. In it, he asks about topics including its editorial practices, editor anonymity, "hateful content and conduct by editors," and content used to train LLMs. www.thefp.com/p/trump-pros... Letter: drive.google.com/file/d/1ocNy...

To Whom it May Concern,
As the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, I regularly receive requests for
information, clarification, and official comment. I regard such inquiries with the seriousness they
warrant and respond appropriately through formal correspondence, such as this letter.
It has come to my attention that Wikipedia, which operates via its fiscal sponsor, the Wikimedia
Foundation, Inc., is engaging in a series of activities that could violate its obligations under
Section 501(c)(3) of Title 26 of the United States Code. As a nonprofit corporation, which is
incorporated in the District of Columbia, the Wikimedia Foundation is subject to specific legal
obligations and fiduciary duties consistent with its tax-exempt status. In addition, the public is
entitled to rely on a reasonable expectation of neutrality, transparency, and accountability in its
operations and publications.
In its 2023 IRS Form 990, the Wikimedia Foundation describes its mission as, “empower[ing]
and engag[ing] people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free
license or in the public domain and to disseminate it effectively and globally. . . [.]”
As you know, Section 501(c)(3) requires that organizations receiving tax-exempt status operate
exclusively for “religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational
purposes. . . [.]” It has come to my attention that the Wikimedia Foundation, through its wholly
owned subsidiary Wikipedia, is allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d52g57qhdyydkmwtuueco57q/bafkreihhp6g5zmurxfppfewzghbtoq53pwkxgjs4tmknvts3fz2jtxntsi@jpeg)
