Men’s rights activists think a “hateful” feminist conspiracy is ruining Wikipedia (amazingly bad "journalism" who's author didn't even bother to contact Dean Esmay, who the article mentions extensively)

We think a "hateful" feminist conspiracy is ruining Wikipedia?

I edit Wikipedia quite frequently, and it isn't too hard to fight back against the feminists. The key thing, is to realize that Wikipedia doesn't want "us vs. them". We need to collaborate on improving the encyclopedia to comply with relevant policies. For example, if an article says "MRA are a hate group", and it doesn't actually have that sourced, you can remove it, have an edit summary, "unsourced content removed", and if somebody changes it back, you can start raising the issue on the talk page and DRV, make an RFC, and etc.

Eventually, it would probably boil down to, "the SPLC has stated that /r/MensRights is sometimes misogynistic", and even then, that is not set in stone. The key thing to remember, is Neutral Point of View. That means the article can't arbitrarily declare things, and all contentious information has to be sourced. Take Al Qaeda for example. They have to source the info that a lot of people agree that Al Qaeda is a terrorist organization. We are not like Al Qaeda, and we are much different. Our coverage has ranged from favorable to hateful, and the article should reflect that. I'll write a guide about how to comply with Wikipedia's policies, but if you want to ask me any questions, you can PM me or contact me on my Wikipedia talk page

Fucking feminists seem to have no idea what the word conspiracy means. Conspiracies are a secret. It's no fucking secret that feminists have organized canvassing campaigns on wikipedia and have even offered college credits for it. They'll often brag about censoring MRA content too.

But meanwhile their version of "the patriarchy" is not a conspiracy even though nobody seriously even claims to be a part of it.

Well it's not a "conspiracy". Wikipedia and the feminists are open about encouraging (bribing / paying) people to write feminist ideology on to wikipedia.

Well. AVFM has basicly played the "wikipedia is full of feminist ideologues so we are giving up on them" after he was told that having erin pizzy on the staff roster doesn't automatically mean avfm will get un-blacklisted.

Ya, its kinda irritating that avfm is still spam blacklisted. No, that doesn't mean feminists have over taken it.

ATM avfm looks about as stupid in the eyes of anybody at wikipedia as manhood 101 does when they compare /r/mensrights or avfm to the good men project.

Part of me has been wanting to write an article on avfm explaining this in detail, but i've been busy.

Basically, one thing anybody here has to remember when editing wikipedia is that they just don't care. It is not the job of wikipedia to care about us, our movement, or being 'fair'. They care about facts, nothing more, nothing less.

I cringe every time see someone make an emotional appeal or an appeal to fairness/equality in a wikipedia talk page on a mens rights article.
