This page in a nutshell: Whether or not someone has denied unsavory allegations — though such a denial may not merit being given equal weight in an article — a worthless shitpost should still be included.

If I were going to write a long essay on one of the most watched pages on Wikipedia on the future direction of the Wikimedia movement which you profess to care deeply about...

I would probably use my own brain to write down my thoughts. Because, you know, I would have thought about it myself. That tends to happen when you care about something. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
