Very US centric list and Fuck copyright, but fascinating nonetheless
Why is it so US centric? Did nothing happen anywhere else in the world involving other countries?
It’s written in english wikipedia, on which last time I checked over 50% of contributers live in the US
Dang. Maybe some people in other countries should do something about it? Giving me the same vibes as Trump warning to back out of funding from NATO causing Europeans to side-eye each other.
Wikipedia is headquartered in San Francisco. Imagine if Trump mandates the non-profit through Executive Order to force Wikipedia to charge money for non-Americans to access all their hard work?
well us europeans tend to contribute more to our local wikipedias. like I have 5,000 edits on french wikipedia and only 700 on english wikipedia
wikipedia is foss, it’ll just be forked
