40% of Wikipedia is under threat from deletionists

Second, anyone can join Wikipedia. So a system where everyone can join anonymously is trying to agree on how to organize all of human knowledge. Reaching some kind of consensus is bound to be messy, and to stay messy forever.

So if you want to make Wikipedia, as a system more aware of race and gender issues (which I support) or more inclusionist (in the Wikipedia sense of the term, which I not necessarily support)?

I think the answer is to encourage people to join Wikipedia, rather than discouraging them by portraying it as a hotbed of racism and misogyny

Read the thread.

Pretty much everyone posting here did join Wikipedia…and then left in disgust, driven off by the toxic culture of the incumbents.

It is not the job of women and minorities to put up with that crap in order to make yet another futile attempt to fix Wikipedia. Clean your own damn house.
