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.

@freemo @MaleGoddess @djsumdog the media apparatus loves democrats, so i doubt people have been paid to neatly categorize them.

Q.U.I.N.N.
@freemo @MaleGoddess @djsumdog the ones i know of personally were his campaign trail "if you don't vote for biden you aren't black" and his prior comments about "i don't want my kids growing up in a racial jungle." his VP pick also appears to have been a diversity hire but i'm not aware of explicit ways to prove it, other than she had 0% approval rating by the DNC and there seems to be no other reason to pick such a widely hated person for the job.

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

@freemo @djsumdog @MaleGoddess you're not familiar with the edit wars are you :blobcathuh:

having text on wikipedia is only a small part about it being true, and a large amount about sitting there and personally fighting the edit wars in wp-meta.

@icedquinn

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.

I've edited all manners of pages before. Again not claiming there wont be edit wars (and ultimately things going to vote). But something like that isnt likely to be rejected.

@icedquinn is it naivety, cogitative dissonance or lack of critical thinking? Wikipedia political scrubbing before elections, edit wars and foreign governments running intelligence operation to change Wikipedia entries aren't secret. It's an open and known issue.

@DokiDoe intelligence services and others are paid to win edit wars on wikipedia.

fun fact the guy who invented the place publicly stated he no longer believes in it.

@icedquinn We could get into specific and circle jerk, it is interesting. It is just weird to hear someone "just edit the wiki" with the conviction that it is only about the merits of your sourcing and writing. Just surprising to see on that level of naivety on fedi. idk I expected more autism and retarded takes, not that.

Q.U.I.N.N.
@DokiDoe i read it to mean someone who has edited things which were not the subject of intense political agendas.

i lost faith in wikipedia because i was in parapsych at the time. everything a parapsych does that is bad gets wiki'd. literal crimes skeptics do are scrubbed.

i try not to use wikipedia if i can get around it, except for math, which i still hate to use it for but i can't necessarily get around it.

@DokiDoe ex when james randi was found to be aiding and abetting an illegal and dealing with stolen identities they were trying to hamsterwheel how this wasn't relevant to his character because it was just distracting from the mission or whatever.

it may be up there nowadays. i dunno. i prefer books written by field practitioners.

Q.U.I.N.N.
@apropos @DokiDoe ex. if you look up the page for the simplex algorithm it's the life history of how the guy invented it while bored in the army and then show you pages of proofs why he's a genius but you ultimately have to go to youtube for the 5 minute explanation "oh yeah, here's how it solves a set of linear formulas and how to fucking do it"
