My personal jihad against Wikipedia can be summarized by the fact that every single one of the wikipedia pages I specifically bookmarked over the course of my doctoral program for containing huge amounts of specific scientific data otherwise not available unless you want to buy a few hundred scientific papers (this was pre scihub) have now been merged with giant vague general introductory articles on the topic seemingly written for the children of liberals on their first day of school. I mean fuck man, most of those molecular biology pages were written by the scientists that discovered the shit. Fuck those guys, I guess
All that shit is just gone like it never existed, and this cicjsucjer keeps asking me for money ! which I used to happily donate, but no, now he wants to do another bullshit vanity project of idk scanning all art ever into VR or whatever the fuck, instead of spending two cents a month on the server space it would have taken to keep those fucking expert level pages on their own, but because your loser ass wikiexperts dropped out of middle school in order to homeschool themselves at the university of hentai they can’t tell the difference
Helpful tip for the future is to use the article’s permalink to link to that specific version in history or better yet use an archive site or use your browser to save a complete local archive of the page.

Bookmarking permalinks == mental illness systems? Am I reading this right?
Yeah because me saving a personal copy of everything I come across online, like a digital version of my grandma post great depression, definitely helps out everyone across the planet trying to access that important, easily accessible information for the first time today and absolutely addresses the actual underlying problem instead of tech bro mindset of always blaming the user for dumb design decisions causing harm because unscreened morons working for free to serve capital is cheaper
Comrade I get that this pisses you off and I’m right there with you and agree with your take at the top of this exchange. but the bookmarking the revision history of an article is genuinely useful. They’re also pretty easy to browse. They still exist. What year were you doing your doctoral? 2015 for example? Then go to the last revision from 2015 of said article and bookmark that. It’s not hard. Every article on there has a blue link at the top that says “version history.” There’s no reason to be rude to someone for their helpful suggestion. It doesn’t make you a “grandma” or whatever. Anyway, if your grandma archived shit from the great depression, more respect to her.
When the articles are merged with a different topic as a redirect the original is gone forever
well that’s a bummer. I’m sorry that happened. Sometimes when they’re merged I think one of the articles maintains the original version history but I’m not 100% on that.
i wonder how feasible it would be to store Wikipedia on ipfs and do incremental versions
It actually does. All online content is ephemeral. It would take maybe a dozen datacenters getting bombed to take down all of wikipedia. I personally have multiple copies of wikipedia in different languages stored locally in my computer. Literally takes up less space than a AAA videogame.
Sounds like the wiki-dorks get flustered seeing information they’re too dumb to understand. A lot of fake intellectual Reddit types don’t like being reminded that they’re not epic polymaths just because they binge watch video essays.
