#2I'm not directly touching this debate with a 20-foot pole. Wikipedia has issues with its insular editor pool for sure, but this minefield isn't the best vehicle for a public discussion of the issue.

#3>Due to this group’s zealous handiwork, Wikipedia’s articles on the Holocaust in Poland minimize Polish antisemitism, exaggerate the Poles’ role in saving Jews, insinuate that most Jews supported Communism and conspired with Communists to betray Poles
This is such a bizarre conspiracy theory, maybe it makes more sense with the specifics of how Poland teaches their history, but Poland got straight up invaded, decimated, and occupied by fascists. Like, how are they gonna even try to point fingers at the Jews and Communists as being responsible.....

I refuse to give money to anything that Jimmy Wales is affiliated with. He's unethical, and I assume the same for Wikipedia.

The Wikipedia foundation is one of the most impressive non profit money laundering ops out there. The cost of running Wikipedia vs the foundations actual income is staggering. There's more than enough money and investment income available that they don't need to throw up that annoying "gib us money plz" message they do all of the time.

#9I've followed this specific issue for a while, and this is a fairly good write up of it. It could be improved by moving beyond the narrative format (albeit supplemented by a few charts) and developing a network analysis of virtual territorial conflict over time.

No comment on the collaborationist narrative, but your comment completely ignores the very obvious fact that Poland was subdivided between said Fascist power AND the Soviet Union, a Communist superpower.
