Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Yeah.

Camp Gagnon

And I'll tell you, this article is not totally devoid of value because it does tell you what people like that think.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Right.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Right.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

But the fact that it only tells you that means that it's biased in favor of what they think.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Right, right.

Camp Gagnon

So the second thesis then, enable competing articles, would say, okay, look, if Wikipedia is set on having that particular article, right, then you should declare that this is according to the GASP framework, right, and other frameworks should be permitted, right?

Camp Gagnon

And therefore, you know, a Christian framework, perhaps it would be a Catholic framework and a Protestant framework.

Camp Gagnon

Who knows exactly where the lines will be drawn there and whether people will be able to just, you know, create their own frameworks willy nilly or whatever.

Camp Gagnon

And of course, if an article is not well rated by anybody, then it shouldn't even get into the main namespace as it's called in Wikipedia.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Shouldn't be shown to the public easily anyway.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Yeah.

Camp Gagnon

So the idea then is then there can be multiple competing articles on the same topic.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

So a number of different articles on Yahweh, for example, or on the violence in Gaza.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

This is completely wrong.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

People are centrists.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

Articles are not centrist.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

All right.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

So people are objective or people are biased on one side or to the other side.

Camp Gagnon
Wikipedia Co-Creator Reveals All: Secret Editors, Banning Content, & Ignoring Rules

In other words, they're opinionated.
