So I posted a rant a while back about the bullshit I've encountered dealing with anti communist chud articles. Funny enough I've managed to pare three back pretty significantly. The dude that was a thorn in my side has left Wikipedia. I might be able to get one communism evil article deleted. Also this fucking hero came in to actually back me up in the talk pages, which is pretty rad. But tbh compared to her, I'm fucking tiny.
So I started following this one page pretty closely as it's a popular topic and it's owned by the chuds. It's pretty frustrating as the other side gets to be as dirty and edit warring as possible, while we in the minority need to follow Wikipedia policy to the T. Literally everything I edit has at least 3 scholarly sources, yet gets reverted immediately. Literally everything I try to roll back for being bullshit gets reverted. I'll cite the actual wikipolicy, and quote the source word for word, but they're like "but it's the preference of the editors" and "I don't think that matters" and I'm all grr you guys are definitely stonewalling. There's like two editors, one which is definitely gonna get a ban at some point in the distant future as his edits are just obvious lies, the other which is a power editor who is clearly gaming the system by taking every bad edit as far as possible and tying things up with debates while he edit wars.
I have to be a lot more patient, as this is a topic which libs side more with the chuds. I'm not expecting a lot of help from the admin boards.
Sorry this is totally boring. You can totally bully me for being a nerd.
This isn't boring at all. I wish this site was more active with this kind of thing in general. Speaking of which, is there anything the average person can do to help? Throw in a little support behind your edits somehow? I'd guess it would take a fairly high level of dedication, like it sounds you put into it, to do much good. But if there is something a casual "user," who maybe makes spelling corrections here and there sometimes, can do that would make it easier for you, let us know.
You’d probably have to build up a history editing other topics and then work your way into the controversial ones.
