    It’s too bad the people of China aren’t allowed to edit Wikipedia, and correct the facts, because of their oppressive state.

        Are they better, though?

        I mean, last I checked, Wikipedia is far more accurate than most encyclopedias professionally assembled. And, to add to it: Wikipedia is certainly well sourced, and admits its biases quite openly, and in fact are working to correct those biases.

        So, what Chinese-based wikipedia alternatives are out there? And I mean, communally owned, maintained, and edited encyclopedia, which, quite frankly, is one of the best examples of a communist endeavors one can find on the internet at this time…

          Lol, what do you mean “checked”? You’re just assuming its accurate based on your pre-existing biases.

            I’m assuming it’s still as accurate as the data previously showed, and because I’m an active editor there, who works quite hard to ensure what I edit is reliably sourced.
