When wikipedia started it was crowdsourced and anonymous by design. You were never supposed to know who wrote anything, nobody signed as author. Especially authentic authors were banned from writing articles.

A study of who was writing the content revealed the wikipedia underbelly. The majority were high school males and they mainly copy/pasted content from many sites without citing the sources. It became a nightmare for teachers and professors who then disallowed students from using wikipedia as a reliable source. Eventually academic standards slipped, as intended, and wikipedia was accepted.

The subsequent phase saw the intel agency taking it over and disallowing others writing content.

Like factcheckbook then.

OK, lets say I believe you, what evidence do you have of who did write it?

'telling a big enough lie, often enough makes it the truth...'
What/ like calling fake news, fake news often enough makes it fake?
You`re argument is groundless unless you can show me evidence to the contrary.

Show me evidence this was written by a reputable source.
