Wikipedia needs a paramilitary arm

Me in 2004, teaching 10th graders: For the love of god don't cite Wikipedia, it's not a reliable source

Me in 2024, to literally anyone in earshot: Good ol' Wikipedia, the only thing the internet hasn't fucked up yet

Arm the moderate Wikipedians

So do librarians, ACLU, public schools and farmer's markets.

I'm with you for everything but farmers markets, but that's probably because the ones near me have a following that feels cultlike rather than supportive.

I don't need the "everyone must walk the market clockwise at less than one mph" people getting ideas about violently enforcing compliance.
