In this opinion piece, Matt Ford, host of The Good Trouble Show, discusses the activist Wikipedia editing group, The Guerrilla Skeptics of Wikipedia, its founder, Susan Gerbic, UFO / UAP debunker Mick West, and the organized effort to rewrite over 2000 Wikipedia pages with their political slant.
Organized activist Wikipedia editors and groups, such as Susan Gerbic and her group, The Guerrilla Skeptics of Wikipedia, systematically target Wiki pages that do not conform to their worldview. With over 200 editors worldwide and over 2000 pages edited, GSOW is pushing its worldview on the general public. Is this what Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales intended?
These groups have targeted the pages of government whistleblowers such as David Grusch, Lue Elizondo, and public figures such as Harald Malmgren, who was featured on @@JesseMichels , and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Christopher Mellon.
