    eh, i was a long time editor on wikipedia and i just burned out. the hoards of properly funded, politically motivated editors can influence you and bury you and i have seen that.... i cannot give specifics or my Hn identity and wikipedia profile can be linked pretty easily if i give a reference so i will leave at that but personally i consider it a gone case in many topics. sure you can have science and geography pages and stuff like that but when a politically motivated actor wants to saffronize everything "indian", they have the funds and the energy to spend full-time on it. i cannot do that
