Biased and ideologically charged editing[edit] When has wikipedia started to use personal opinion and political bias in the redaction of it's articles [21]? Isn't an encyclopedia article about referenced facts? Shouldn't an Encyclopedia be as neutral and factual as possible? Why even have WikiProject Feminism 22] (a clearly delined political and ideological master censor) dictating newsworthy facts as sound or not? There's a clear inferred vested interest by that WikiProject in controlling the article about "GamerGate" just by looking at the number of edits it received (specially when compared to other articles, some much more relevant to the topic of Feminism). I can't phantom how this type of procedure will make Wikipedia reliable to the eyes of the public. What's next, a "WikiProject Creation" dictating what is and is not science?Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.108.237146 (tall) 17:35, 23 September 2014 (UTC) We already tell creationists that their views are not science, and your arguments show a lack of assumed good faith and basic understanding of the site WP Feminism is there to edit pages that document the history and ideas of notable feminists. They are not there to censor stuff. Per WP:SELFPUB, Zoe Quinn is at least a reliable source about herself. GamerGate is a conspiracy theory, and per WP GEVAL, their reinterpretation of news sources will not be given equal validity. Your claims of "clear invested interest" fail WP Assume good faith, and are are pretty solid proof that the cause you're pushing for is conspiracy theorist bollocks at any rate Further posts that continue to make the above mistakes will be treated as trolling The GamerGate folks are sadsag you want to make the world jus Ian thomson (talk) 18:05, 23 September 2014 (UTC) are aruEng ste Th Gramesats using their conspiracy the selves). Are you sure you want to be a member of their ranks? Are you sure 1ei opagating So this " are sadsacks who are using their conspiracy theory to ignore problems in their own lives (or in themselves) is what it is to be expected from a moderator of a n encyclopedia. I understand now how you do your "fact checking" and what your standards of exemption and neutrality are. Revealing, at least.-Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.108.237 146 (tall:) 18:18, 23 September 2014 (UTC) edia 1e

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

"Lord Voldemort is atleast a reliable source about herself."

Good to know that any person can write an article on Wikipedia about themself and no matter how bullshit it is, it's considered a reliable source. If you'll excuse me, I'm about to go write an article about how I personally brought an end to World War 3 and later went on to become the first emperor of the moon.
