@dsalo Striking! If that's what gets published, imagine the nightmares happening in libraries which don't do or write anything with the data.

The expectation of self-censorship reminds me of how frowned upon it is to break rank "off-wiki" in the community.

With so much of the internet circling the drain, there's a major corner of the internet that's still a good news story - thank goodness for the 22-year-old Wikipedia powering on!

My recent editing there inspired my new post @PLOS:

Not that anyone noticed, but the English recently crossed the 6,666,666 article mark.

Unofficially, the milestone article was... SatanCon! It's the annual convention of the Satanic Temple.

English Wikipedia screenshot of the first revision of the "SatanCon" article This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Rhododendrites (talk | contribs | block) at 13:28, 9 June 2023 (Holy cow! It's article number 6,666,666! Hail, Wikipedia! :)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision. SatanCon is the annual convention of the Satanic Temple, a non-theistic religious organization which uses Satanic imagery to advocate for egalitarianism, social justice, and the separation of church and state. The conventions combine traditional conference-style educational panels with social events, arts, and a marketplace. Background The Satanic Temple is a non-theistic religious organization founded in 2013. It uses Satanic imagery, humor, and legal tactics to advocate for the separation of church and state, critical thinking, reproductive rights, abolishing corporal punishment in schools, and other causes.[1] It does not believe in a supernatural Satan, but uses the idea of Satan and the public's reaction to the concept as a metaphorical or satirical tool to challenge religious authority and advocate against what it views as injustice.[2][3]
