This is a fork. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

The types of errors I fixed were not bad, they were egregious. Do not ever use this encyclopedia in the real world if you don't want to look foolish and ignorant because anyone with knowledge of the topic will wonder how you became such an idiot. Our article on death march said for 10 years "The signing of the Fourth Geneva Convention declared death marches a form of war crime". Really, the fourth convention "declared" that did it? Death marches are not a war crime in and of themselves. There has been a major prosecution for death marches of soldiers under the first three conventions, and then it was prosecuted as a failure of a commander to control troops. The Fourth Convention is only about civilians. It was fixed by a wonderful editor who I am accused of being a sock puppet of. I have no good faith left for this project.

I hear a lot "Others are improving the encyclopedia too, not just you" but I am the only editor active in many of the areas I work in. Maybe readers would rather read my content then yours, but that is not something our "consensus" process will ever reflect. The only reason Wikipedia will never be "finished" is because of COI.

Established editors are sitting on their butts, edit warring, and ranting on talk pages about how they have been here for 10 years when they are the ones who should be helping to untangle their own work. They dump it and leave it and then insist they have to "approve" any changes, which is more of a burden then a help. Most of the articles need to be reduced in size, not expanded. They need to be organized coherently so they are readable from start to finish. They need to be reformatted to follow basic principles about white space and paragraph structure. Out of FIVE MILLION articles, probably fewer then 1000 are readable from start to finish. It is never going to happen through the dysfunctional procedures that masquerade as a consensus around here (usually sock puppets who are arguing with each other). A group of dedicated people should really fork and clean this up into a publishable, reliable encyclopedia. I can't take anymore, tl:dr, bye.Seraphim System ^(talk) 15:18, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
