Censorship sucks, giving credit rules.

As above but without the authors’ usernames scribbled out. Screenshot of social media: a tweet by paige @pswizzz reads, “the biggest scam of all time was convincing kids that wikipedia, a free source of unlimited information, isn’t reliable when there’s literal sources at the bottom & a strict editing policy.” A tumblr post by LesbianBriachiosaurus appends, “Seriously tho as someone who put literal years of effort into creating a Wikipedia hoax it’s basically impossible to get away with for more than like an hour. They’re fucking vigilant. I tried to build up trust by doing legit editing but my account got reviewed cause I approved a page that mismeasured the size of a ship by a few centimeters”
