Whole thing reads like somebody's high school essay on how non-US countries are actually more racist, but you're not allowed to cite sources.

    I think a Wikipedia-focused comm, "Genuises of Wikipedia" or "Shit Wikipedia Says", could be really good, especially for deconstructing garbage in the comments.

    I am inclined towards creating one, but am a little iffy as SRS does exist, and we recently had to merge a bunch of these subs anyway.

      We still have the "Nonsense UA Takes" comm lying around, and I think it could have a similar educational purpose. I'd like that, since I like fact-checking Wikipedia sources already. Might be cool to check if that'd be alright with the admins.

        Impossible to do, as the reason we merged all communities into one was to stop the proliferation of so many similar communities. Reintroducing them now would eventually lead us back to the original situation where we had dozens of SXS communities that are mostly dead.

        As per the rules (decided collectively) no other "Shit X Say" communities can be created by users. The UA takes community actually originally slipped through the merger, and there was another discussion as for what to do with it, and we collectively decided that it could stay because it was about current events. Probably that after the war is over we'll archive it as well.
