    New top-level thread for complaining about the worst/weirdest Wikipedia article in one’s field of specialization?

    I wonder how much Rationalists have mucked up Wikipedia over the years just by being loud and persistent on topics where actual expertise would be necessary to push back.

      fuck yes I’m down! finally I’ve got a use for all the weird CS garbage I keep finding. do you figure this’d be better as a SneerClub or TechTakes thread?

        Our house, our rules, I suppose… but maybe TechTakes is a better fit, unless the examples you have in mind seem rooted in TREACLES particularly.
