Mam déjà vu... Rosjanie pracują nad własnym odpowiednikiem Wikipedii. Trzecim z kolei od wszczęcia działań wojennych w Ukrainie. Jeszcze w sierpniu ub.r. pojawił się Runiwersalis (ros. Руниверсалис), potem zapowiedziano uruchomienie projektu Wiedza (ros. Знания), a teraz okazało się, że osoby, które zajmowały się wcześniej rosyjskojęzyczną wersją Wikipedii, stworzą Ruwiki (ros. Рувики). Anton Gorełkin, zastępca przewodniczącego parlamentarnej komisji ds. polityki informacyjnej, zasugerował na Telegramie, że chodzi o "oczyszczenie wikipedyjnych treści z fejków i jawnych kłamstw". Innymi słowy, twórcy Ruwiki - zamiast pisać artykuły od zera - skopiują je z oryginalnej Wikipedii, usuwając/zmieniając fragmenty niezgodne z rządową linią propagandową. Tak przynajmniej zakładają donoszące o tym media, a kierownik projektu, Władimir Medejko, zdaje się to potwierdzać.

Rather astounding that #OED has neither #Wikipedia nor #Lojban.
#OA #OpenAccess #Wikipedia: "Wikipedia is a well-known platform for disseminating knowledge, and scientific sources, such as journal articles, play a critical role in supporting its mission. The open access movement aims to make scientific knowledge openly available, and we might intuitively expect open access to help further Wikipedia's mission. However, the extent of this relationship remains largely unknown. To fill this gap, we analyze a large dataset of citations from Wikipedia and model the role of open access in Wikipedia's citation patterns. We find that open-access articles are extensively and increasingly more cited in Wikipedia. What is more, they show a 15% higher likelihood of being cited in Wikipedia when compared to closed-access articles, after controlling for confounding factors. This open-access citation effect is particularly strong for articles with low citation counts, including recently published ones. Our results show that open access plays a key role in the dissemination of scientific knowledge, including by providing Wikipedia editors timely access to novel results. These findings have important implications for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the field of information science and technology."

Very sad that the once worthy #Wikipedia has now degenerated into a corrupt gravy train for insiders. Those pleading messages for donations don't mention their vast cash pile or their obscene insider salaries.
It would be bad enough if they did actually achieve a NPov in their articles, but they don't even manage that.
There are far better causes to donate to.

Footnotes on #Wikipedia since its beginning is on of the good examples for solving your problem.
Integration of the #Fediverse and #Mastodon Identity standards into the software that powers #WikiPedia & other Wiki's is so important I find it hard to express.
It is the first big step of integration between the Wikipedian and Fediverse communities, and it has been massively under-noticed and not gotten nearly the attention this deserved.
I'm all for it, want to find ways to help & hope this is the beginning of much more integration to come. 🔥

"the data presented in this paper suggests that well- connected members of a group use social capital to obfuscate their non-compliance with norms, thus leading to what I call “dispute cancellation"...dispute settlers maximize the legitimacy of their final decision by prioritizing the individuals who stand at the core of society.
