Trying to clean this place up. Wikipedia pages are being defaced, vandalized, and misused as platforms to propagate personal viewpoints and rewrite history at a time when social media platforms are linking Wiki pages in an effort to stop the spread of misinformation. This has become ironic as Wiki pages have become besieged with intolerance, hate speech, and slandering of entire peoples and their histories. I don’t have time to babysit pages, but I will do my best to start using the knowledge and resources at my fingertips to right these wrongs. Wikipedia is the first hit to show on nearly every search engine. No longer shall this responsibility be taken for granted when Wiki has become the gatekeeper of internet information, and in the wrong hands, has become the foundation for the erosion of the internet as an enlightening informative place.

Please think before you edit.


 * Remember: Theological, seminary, and Biblical “sources” are not academic nor encyclopedic sources. I’m brand new to Wiki editing, and come here out of duty to right the wrongs and disruptions on this open-source internet based encyclopedia that’ve become progressively demoralizing and degrading to read as a non-participant seeking information. I hope others will join me and can guide me in the right direction to start a movement for truth on this platform.

ATTN: Christian Groups Fronting As Individual Editors

I. Read Before Posting on My User Talk Page


 * Going forward, I ask those posing as "singular editors," rather than the institution(s) you represent, and everyone else posting thru the same account(s), to cease your harassment campaigning against non-Christian editors attempting to return Wikipedia to an inclusive and informational place, worthy of being called an Encyclopedia.


 * I ask that these groups, and their individual participants, are to stop using my user talk page as an outlet to slander, discriminate, and quarantine their harassment campaigns from the talk pages of the actual Wikipedia article at hand.


 * Please refrain from using my Wiki to harass, demean, degrade, scapegoat, gaslight, smear campaign; and further, disseminate disinformation, bigoted ideology, proselytize, and/or spread religious doctrine as "objective truth."


 * Learning the rules, just to exploit them — is Machiavellian.

'''II. The Urgent Ethical Dilemma Plaguing Wikipedia: Church and Cult-Sponsored Editors'''


 * Injecting Christian theology into encyclopedic entries, is digital Imperialism, the Colonization of truth and free thought, and no different than the actions these very groups are exploiting loopholes in laws and governmental bodies to eradicate the separation of Church and State. It was through past knowledge and experience living under tyranny, that a decisive measure to permanently remove religion from public education and research, came into law. Indoctrination is the very enemy of education, and the weapon of choice for despots.


 * It is critical more transparency and moderation is used by Wikipedia, as these groups, along with state and law enforcement actors, have imported tools of psychological warfare, most notably seen on social media platforms, into Wikipedia. Tactics, such as using sockpuppet editor accounts, to primarily do the following:


 * Give the illusion of representing "popular opinion"
 * A mechanism to evade bans
 * Astroturfing as a means to lock Wikipedia pages in order to protect:
 * Minority bias and propagandistic rewrites of entire pages.
 * Gatekeeping editing access by misusing a feature meant to prevent vandalism and bad faith edits, to instead block scholars, historians, researchers, and all other educated and objective persons from contributing whatsoever.
 * Retaliate by using multiple accounts in order to sanction editors who attempt to simply correct disinformation.
 * A method used to harass, "gang-up" on, collectively overrule ethical and better informed editors' edits, mass revert edits, misuse one of the only mechanisms of transparency on Wikipedia "follow" singular editors around in order to revert their edits in order to intimidate and/or demoralize them.
