Wikipedia is a problem for Musk/Trump. Not, as Musk says, because it's "woke." Because it's one of our last reliable tethers to a consensus reality. Therefore, an antidote to disinformation.

It's not making anyone money. It's not enshittified. Of course it's not perfect—it's an endeavor of imperfect cooperating humans. But it needs protection and support.

I contributed some of my money to Wikipedia this month. I agree with you about its good works.

@RonSupportsYou IIUC, it's not so much donations that they need, but actual contributions in the form of edits

@monnier @RonSupportsYou
Unfortunately #wikipedia doesn't really offer a neutral view of the world. Only about 13 % of the authors are women. There were projects to change it, but many women (including me) were put off quickly because of the behaviour of other authors & especially the admins. When you write an article about a woman odds are high it will be deleted quickly, bc it's not relevant.The idea is good, but the implementation is biased. #ProjectRewrite #feminism #GenderEquality

@Konfettispaghetti @monnier @RonSupportsYou Anyone who isn't a male cishet, really. I remember some years ago NB voice actor Casey Monguillo had their page remove for "irrelevance" despite voicing the main lead in several high profile animes and videogames, just because some fan of Spike Spencer (another VA) was butthurt about Casey's Shinji Ikari and filed the article for irrelevance repeteadly until it got deleted.
Wikipedia certainly have problems.

@Jurarigo_ @Konfettispaghetti @monnier I understand and sympathize with the Wikipedia decision that Monguillo has not yet reached the level of fame that would justify a Wikipedia entry. These decisions are debatable but I side with Wikipedia on this one.

@RonSupportsYou @Konfettispaghetti @monnier You kidding, right? First of all, the decision was revoked merely days later, because it was exclusively requested and taken on the basis that Casey as Shinji wasn't as notorious as Spike Spencer. Second, not only Casey have quite the impressive body of work, they're being at it since 2006 and the article cite 57 external sources proving it.
You can read the discussion page, is quite absurd:
