I have done a lot of wikipedia editing in the past, I am familiar.

Yes there can be edit wars. But for something like that, presuming you cite it well, it will likely be accepted without conflict.

Yea there are some racist crap from biden... so go add it to an article. If you cite it it will likely stay.

I never said Trump was or wasnt racist... Having an article talking about racist claims against him is not the same as saying he is racist.

As for why Biden lacks a article about his racism.. well generally far fewer notable accusations of racism have been made against him to fill a page. That said, if you feel there are enough notable cases of him being called out on racism then go create the page for it.

Now if you can show people have tried to create biden-racism pages before with well cited reliable sources and the community shot it down, then yo might have a case as well.

@pasture One important detail to add, unlike many other operating systems (like windows) Linux can and sometimes does exist without the GNU part. Likewise there are some examples of the GNU part existing on things that strictly speaking arent linux.

So it is entirely appropriate to refer to linux without the GNU part

@Acer Are you sure the messages youa re seeing of users in the home timeline that you removed arent from before you removed them?

@Acer Same, that did not show up in my home, did show up int he test list... also showed on local timeline but thats to be expected.

@Acer That worked perfectly for me, you showed up in my test list and did not show up in my home.

@MaleGoddess

Where exactly does it say that? What does it claim to be evidence of racism that is not? Be specific.

@stux We do that in the USA too, except instead of trauma teddies we shoot your dog.

@trinsec Came across an old piece i wrote and one thing led to another.

@MaleGoddess

Do you have a speific example of a statement in that article which is stated as a fact explicitly (rather than as an opinion) that is false? Otherwise im not sure how many citations it has matters.

I wouldnt be engaging in disucssion with you if you didnt have a point worth discussing.

As I said it isnt your conclusion or the topic that makes it look like your "acting stupid" it is the way you are arguing it. As I said your tactic has devolved to taking what I said out of context and misrepresenting it when you know damn well what was meant.. You are better than that, or at least, I thought you were. It looks more like a liberal having a tantrum at this point where they take what you said and misrepresent it knowing damn well what was really meant... Dont be that idiot, you are smarter than that.

@Moon

Yup, and journals known to lack scientific integrity... It is very clear from anyone who reviewed the affair that they specifically selected low-quality journals most likely to accept papers without good quality review.

They didnt even have a control group or random selection of journals, both of which would be needed in order to make any inference from the process.

@anonymoose

Who reviews the reviewers is easy... the readers, and the scientists who cite the journal. Which in turn reflects on that scientist as well.

You are a hair away from being blocked. Not because of your opinion or disagreement, but because you are arguing like a 9 year old intentionally taking things out of context and acting like you are too stupid to understand what I said in the hope that by misrepresenting me you may convince yourself of being right.

Up until this conversation I had a great deal of respect for your ability to disagree maturely, thoughtfully, and charitably. You are quickly loosing that respect, you are not this stupid and you know it.

@djsumdog @natsock

@anonymoose

Honestly I know your not this stupid, so stop acting like you are just to be right.

At no point did everyone claim that every publication that happens to call itself a journal or has some review process in place is automatically high-quality or scholarly.

Obviously scientists evaluate the quality of a journal when determining if it is posting articles of scholarly merit, and you are smart enough to know that.
