Dear Dave, In a recent post of yours, you argue that:
I know that in areas where I have expertis [sic], the Wikipedia pages are the result of “edit wars” between partisans, trolls and the people being written about. It’s hard for me to know, for example, when reading a biography of Augustus Caesar (I’m a fan of the HBO series Rome) if it is the result of the same conflicted process.
The reason you think this is “hard” is because you are lazy. On the top of every wikipedia page are two links of great importance when deciding what is controlling the content: the “history” link and the “discussion” link. A quick glance at those should demonstrate what information is generally agreed upon and what is contentious.
If you’re that interested in the information you claim to be seeking, maybe you ought to do a little leg work and figure it out yourself.
Sincerely,
Eye
PS: It would be easy to omit a conviction for antitrust from Bill Gate’s resume because he was neither charged with, nor convicted of, Antitrust. Just thought you might want to know.
