The Truth about Wikipedia

Wikipedia contributes the knowledge of the world and also helps to make knowledge more easily accessible. This can be seen as a good thing in the service of humanity. However, not everything is so good. In this video, we take a look at the other side of Wikipedia. What is your opinion about Wikipedia? Tell us in the comments...

More women and more minorities should be encouraged to contribute. No one on wikipedia bars women and minorio from contribution. You can do it anonymously and no one would even care if edits and changes were up to quality.

Wikipedia has lies and misinformation about me and has blocked me from changing it. (Years ago, I made changes to the lies and misinformation in order to the correct information and it got changed back to the lies and misinformation). This has happened to a good friend of mine, too. Even tonight, we were going to change her information to correct it but we are blocked by Wikipedia. I'm glad I have never donated money to Wikipedia and I never will. (It is the same for some others I know, too.)

Look up NDP, Net Domestic Product in Wikipedia. But the Depreciation is only for Capital Goods.

I tried pointing out that the depreciation of durable consumer goods is ignored.

NDP = GDP - Dcap
NDP = GDP - (Dcap + Dcon): corresponds to reality

Dcap is Depreciation of Capital
Dcon is Depreciation of Durable Consumer Goods like cars and refrigerators and microwave ovens.

How many automobiles have Americans trashed since WWII?

The concept of NDP/GDP developed during the Depression and WWII. Television advertising did not exist before WWII. Consumerism with planned obsolescence exploded in the US after WWII and 90% of American homes had televisions by 1960.

But economists say nothing about the depreciation of durable consumer goods.
Every time I added this to Wikipedia it was deleted.

I think the fact that women don't have time to add articles is totally nonsense. They can make this as hobby atleast instead of watching serials at home. Please do proper research before talking!

Why are they blocking new users from registering? IP addresses aren't permanent

Some "powerful" editors are misleading here and working in interest of some people or other organisations.

To be fair, Sub-Saharan Africans hadn't even invented written language until Europeans showed up

We shouldn't really expect them to have too many historical contributions to an encyclopedia. LOL

Lies and misinformation? Oh you've gotta be kidding me, Wikipedia! How could you spread all lies and misinformation! Even worse, you created stubs, red or non-existent articles and you haven't even created them. You should be ashamed of your own selves for what you did! Now we don't know further about for example, Kazakhstan's Kabanbai batyr! You're gonna be maximum sorry for this!
