        Wikipedia is not what it claims to be. It is signed up to the SDGs which are a top down UN directive rather than a truly grassroots programme.

        A lot of Wikipedia is a joke.

        The most glaring problem of all is that most of its labour is unpaid, despite its content being used by commercial ventures such as Amazon.
