#JimboWales, co-founder of #Wikipedia, tries to convince the community that, as a member of the #WMF #BoardOfTrustees, he's not participating in #UnionBusting and he's not insulting #WMF employees [1].
Read the discussion and decide for yourself.

We forked the X.Org Server in June 2025.
#Grokipedia states this fact in its X.Org Server article.
#Wikipedia completely removed #XLibre from its X.Org Server article—after someone removed the political bias.

9/ I love #Wikipedia as a reader and served on the @wikimediafoundation Advisory Board for a few years. But my experience as a contributor has been largely negative.
Could we do this monitoring job on Wikipedia without inviting editors to take it down for violating the neutral point of view (#NPOV)?
We should be able to. The actions of the Trump admin, and the actions of those pushing back, are public and could be logged neutrally. But I'm not optimistic that such a list would survive for long. Could any #Wikipedians advise or help with that?

@bthalpin 3. What sources find interesting. (Relentless media coverage of celebrity homes going up in smoke.)

#Ballotpedia is a website that provides information on #US #elections and candidates for voters. It started out as a community-contributed site, but is now only edited by paid staff. It has information related to both US Federal government and US state governments, with a database of information on US state executives, legislators, districts, candidates for such positions & ballot measures.
The website claims to be #neutral & accurate. Due to the nature of the site, it does sometimes show decidedly non-factual quotes from other sources (such as public figures). Despite this, the site was founded by the Citizens In Charge Foundation, a #libertarian activist organisation. The site is currently run by a remarkably well-fed nonprofit called the Lucy Burns Institute, which is substantially funded by #Koch Industries money, funnelled in via various corporate shells.

Update. Is anyone making a public list of those #textbooks? That would benefit the whole country.
It seems to me that such a list could satisfy the @wikipedia #NPOV. "Here are the revised, #FL-approved books" and either "no opinion on whether the revisions were a good idea" or "here is the controversy". But even if Wikipedia would reject it, there are many other ways to make a #crowdsourced #openaccess list.

Remember, folks, #Wikipedia’s #NPOV is a lie. Every fact implies a value and the decision on what facts to include or omit is a value judgment. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/01/wikipedia-admin-jailed-for-32-years-after-alleged-saudi-spy-infiltration/
