Booster4324 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Some editors are able to pursue an agenda there and there seems to be no recourse. Essentially, never trust anything you read there.
DC Tom Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Some editors are able to pursue an agenda there and there seems to be no recourse. Essentially, never trust anything you read there. No kidding. You're surprised? I've had sourced corrections removed from articles because they disagreed with some reviewer's notions.
Booster4324 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 No kidding. You're surprised? I've had sourced corrections removed from articles because they disagreed with some reviewer's notions. I have been following an article. The editors are obviously biased. Admins got involved and refuse to do anything no matter how it is elevated. Makes me sorely disappointed in the whole process. One guy with a bias can totally screw up an article. In other news, Osama Bin Laden is still dead I thought it was better than this. My bad.
dayman Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 No kidding. You're surprised? I've had sourced corrections removed from articles because they disagreed with some reviewer's notions. ....DC Tom edits wikipedia articles....
Booster4324 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 ....DC Tom edits wikipedia articles.... So there is something wrong with that?
Booster4324 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 I read an article that said you are wrong. Seriously, never trust anything you read there w/o checking the links first.
McBeane Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Seriously, never trust anything you read there w/o checking the links first. Seriously, this was news about 6 years ago.
DC Tom Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Seriously, never trust anything you read there w/o checking the links first. And even then, don't trust that you have the whole story, because you probably don't have all the links.
Booster4324 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 Seriously, this was news about 6 years ago. True, but it never hurts to repeat a truth even if it makes me seem stupid by repeating something many know. I was just shocked when a seriously biased person was able to continue to edit an article despite the evidence. Case goes back years btw, abundantly clear what is happening.
boyst Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 And even then, don't trust that you have the whole story, because you probably don't have all the links. I just base all of my opinions off of you. ...and Howard Stern.
