Lots of it is still pretty shit, but that’s what happens when you have an entry on incredibly obscure things where there’s not a lot of sources information.
Comment on Wikipedia is resilient because it is boring

Great article, would highly recommend anyone with the time give it a full read through.
Wikipedia is incredibly valuable, and insanely well edited and put together, and we're all lucky to have something like it available for free.

Thanks for encouraging to read the whole thing. That is a loooong article! But a great informative read. Took me a couple of sittings to read it all properly, well worth it!
I had no idea about so many of the challenges they’ve gone through & seemingly managed to fight back so many attempts to control & mask the content on more volatile subjects. Always had a lot of respect for the editors, but even more so now.
I do donate a small amount to them once or twice a year. I think I will try to increase my donations going forward knowing it might help with some of their legal fights.
Knowledge really is power, & we all deserve access to true knowledge, more now than ever it seems.

Where are the [citation needed] stickers, though?

They used to sell those on the xkcd store and I was going to link to them but it seems the store is closed now.

There's a Citation Needed newsletter run by former Wikipedia Arbitrator Molly White that also has a store that of course has [citation needed] merch.
