[Wikimedia-l] Launch of Justapedia
Last month, the alternative project Justapedia was launched which is accessible through the URL https://justapedia.org. It is a complete English Wikipedia fork made sometime last year. Unfortunately the front page showcase doesn't give it good optics because it gave the impression of trying to "whitewash" fascism. They'll have a better public opinion if they tried to fix the Holocaust distortions as revealed by Jan Grabowski and Shira Klein, and put that into the showcase. Besides, there are alarming rumors I saw in Y Combinator that Wikipedia/Wikimedia have unreported harassment and pedophilia scandals. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/C4CJWNAQ5UG5PWFYB3X6CHDF7FC65BGF/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org

Because of that, the proposition still stands, in which anyone can re-post if another village pump RfC is ever needed. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/4I5TCXK2FRZWYAH6JE53TW6KK6SAFZQQ/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org

Here's a proposition for the WMF. You can keep the banners as big and as long as you want, but in return you must sponsor the next Arch Missions to back contents from top 10 Wikipedias (English, Japanese, Russian, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese) to Moon & beyond. Editors do not get paid from spending so much time on Wikipedia, but at least they'll all derive some reward from it.

How about a "true" compendium where articles deleted for notability reasons can go to? ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/H452QZRRZUYO4GTJLVGSXZMZW33C3NIG/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org

Cool. Sad to see that there's still no viable alternatives ATM, though there's some potential in Atsme's Justapedia. The proposed pitch in attracting editors by offering knowledge posterity like the disc on Beresheet sounds interesting. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/T6MLEXT7WMTQ25XMM5Z3FUPAKIH2GQPZ/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org

The last part of the great wall of text appears to persuade him to invest in alternatives instead of buying Wikipedia. For him Wiki is like a sole McDonald's in a food dessert, and that the solution is to open new "restaurants". ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/6LNO3HAMIVCEXO7PBMZGRAOG2JGGI4IW/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org

"A lot of it is fairly obvious" So all the problems he described are already an open secret here, right?
