This is a preview of a bonus episode! listen to the full conversation on our patreon This week, we're joined by journalist and Wikipedia editor Molly White, to talk about the right's war on wikipedia, the production and conservation of knowledge online, and what it takes in order to preserve it. We also talk about the work of a wikipedia editor, how it differs from other kinds of fact-checking, and the ways in which Wikipedia's dedicated army of human writers and editors are able to thwart the attempts to replicate them by challengers, ranging from ChatGPT to Conservapedia (yes, we do talk about the Gay Penguin controversy) Read Molly's essay here: https://www.citationneeded.news/elon-musk-and-the-rights-war-on-wikipedia/ Subscribe to Citations Needed here: https://www.citationneeded.news/ ------ PALESTINE AID LINKS You can donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians and other charities using the links below.
