| The founder of online encyclopaedia Wikipedia has announced plans for a crowd-funded news website offering stories by journalists and volunteers working together, an initiative he hopes will counter the spread of fake news. Jimmy Wales said the new platform, Wikitribune, would be free to read and carry no advertising, instead relying on supporters to fund it, while the accuracy of its articles would be easily verifiable as source material would be published. "The news is broken, but we've figured out how to fix it," he said in a promotional video posted on the website's homepage, which does not yet carry any news stories. The page indicates the platform will go live in 29 days. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-media-wikitribune-idUSKBN17R11K big if they can deliver, but seeing how wikipedia have outdated infos sometimes makes me doubt a little if he can succeed with being a news source that needs to be up to date as soon as possible |
| There was a fake, completely unsourced article about an anime that supposedly aired on TV Tokyo for years. I don't exactly have the highest of faith in Wikipedia. |

| While people might have their qualms about this, if its done right it could be the savoir to the cancer online we all need. Plus its probably alot better than most news sites. |
| I've been here way too long... |
| TBH, even knowyourmeme site know more about citation and more valid as news even than your average news site even wikipedia... what a time to be alive, LMAO |

| Their Gamergate article is proof enough that Wikipedia has no interest in fighting fake news. |

| Wikipedia is a fuckin joke They won't do jackshit |

| Everything that has even the TINIEST amount of "opinion" included (that includes very obvious cases of lies by omission) a news article should be disqualified that very instant. The problem with that of course would be that 99% (or even more) of articles would be disqualified because something like "objective news" pretty much stopped existing for some time already. The only barely acceptable alternative would be to have at least one sources each from opposing news groups and delete anything that doesn't obey that rule. But none of this will be considered anyway and I can already imagine seeing articles from "huffpost" or "buzzfeed" being considered as "credible sources". This is hopeless. |

| wikipedia founder trying be judge of wat fact/truth LOL linking an opinon pieces by underpaid intern in citations secton doesn magicaly into article credible. hes websiet mite as well be quora or yahoo answers |
| Is he gonna hire some alien robots to write the articles? Because as long as humans are then there is no way they won't twist or hide the full picture due to their own beliefs of biases. Also all i need to know about how unbiased Wikipedia is, is to look at Anita Sarkeesian profile page where the woman saying that the song "All i need for Christmas is you" is somehow a sexist bigoted patriarchal song, is presented as a logical educated critic that was harassed. |
| im currently using wikipedia for news, it is good. I like the idea as well, i cant access any news websites without getting cancer so yeah, just give me news facts and no opinions. I really hate opinions |
| "Fix the news" LOL wikipedia is one of the most blatant propaganda sites on the internet |
| I doubt both his intention and his ability to do it. |
| Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |
| Well if they do it they should provide info only from the original source for each detail so it can be easily checked as valid or not instead of dealing with citing sources that got their info from other sources which is what a lot of news sites do. |
 Jokes aside, could be interesting.. I guess. |

Operation INFEKTION was a KGB disinformation campaign to spread information that the United States invented HIV/AIDS[2] as part of a biological weapons research project at Fort Detrick, Maryland. The Soviet Union used it to undermine the United States’ credibility, foster anti-Americanism, isolate America abroad, and create tensions between host countries and the U.S. over the presence of American military bases (which were often portrayed as the cause of AIDS outbreaks in local populations).[3] The funniest shit ever, is still to this day I meet black people who tell me the White man created AIDS to kill all the blacks and gays. Bwahahahahaha. Ahahahahaha! No you silly person, we invented it to kill Communists! Ironically, many Soviet scientists were soliciting help from American researchers to help address the Soviet Union's burgeoning AIDS problem, while stressing the virus’ natural origins. The U.S. politely refused to help as long as the disinformation campaign continued.[16] The Segal report and the plenitude of press articles were dismissed by both western and Soviet virologists as nonsense.

spuukiebuugi said: okay, not all jews are zionists. stop that. nothing you believe in is objectively true either, hun, in accordance with your own bullshit "logic" sorry to burst your bubble. you're just a lost little lamb whose too entangled in a spiderweb of insanity to actually be able to make the distinction between reality and fantasy. that's soooo sad. lol this is why i don't argue with jews. you don't debate, just attack |
spuukiebuugi said: that's what you're doing too, dude you don't ""debate"" either /pol/faggotry, pure /pol/faggotry nah, i'm not the one who writes paragraphs psychoanalyzing everyone who disagrees with me so i can call them insane |
spuukiebuugi said: Ivich said: nah, i'm not the one who writes paragraphs psychoanalyzing everyone who disagrees with me so i can call them insane at least psychology is an actual validated science that exists, unlike your conspiracy theories Inb4 he claims that psychology is a Jewish invention (Freud) as evidence that it cannot be trusted. |
spuukiebuugi said: Ivich said: coming from a zionist lol, anything that benefits your agenda is automatically true wikipedia very clearly cherry picks what sources they allow to shape reality based on an artificial consensus me having some ethnic Jewish ancestry does not make me a "Zionist" sweetheart also this supposed ""artificial consensus"" is majority consensus and often far more objective than any garbled incoherent shit your far right extremist sites post so… please..... don't. like, you can't even accept the reality the rest of the sane, normal world is living in, please don't play that game with me. If he is a neo-nazi how does that make him or the sites he visits far right? I belong to the far right and consider Keynesians like Nazis to be center left wingers. What is your basis of calling him far right? Anything you don't like is far right? |
