[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by typeZeiss: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by astenb: [qb] Anyone here want to work on editing wikipedia pages? [/qb][/QUOTE]wouldn't it be a fruitless undertaking though? you change it, then some idiot comes and changes it again etc. etc.? Where will it end? [/qb][/QUOTE]It is not fruitless. You simply have to overwhelm them with consistent verifiable sources, stay on topic and flag unverifiable, POV and purely weasel worded nonsense. Unfortunately most of the problem comes from folks semi-protecting articles which cuts both ways. It keeps out nonsense but makes editing a nightmare in many cases. The examples you pointed out earlier can be easily rectified with proper flags. In other words, call them on their bull sh*t. For example, once the fact that the whole idea of "race" in ancient Egypt originated with early white anthropologists like Samuel Morton as part of an American and European system of scientific racism, the ancient Egyptian race controversy article pretty much got split into two parts and the current article has stayed pretty stable. Of course some folks want to try and beat a dead horse and pretend that it is "afrocentrics" who were racists, but the facts of scientific racism trumps that point (not to mention the Jim Crow laws and racism in the U.S. itself).
