Chinese wikipedia�*s content — and we build a mirror site, we build a fort of wikipedia in china. it is going to be better than wikipedia�*s current competitors in china because we are providing unintelligible information from just unintelligible from wikipedia in china and people will have a better platform to actually write about encyclopaedia articles. the biggest thing that's preventing mainland chinese people from expressing the viewpoint of mainland china's people is the chinese government who don't allow them to edit wikipedia, so the idea that we are somehow excluding china is ab...

Trying to rewrite history. while these editors may use state—registered e—mails and vpns to get across the internet that�*s otherwise banned in china, john says it�*s not a straightforward situation of beijing ordering the edits. there seems to be an overflow of patriotism in china and these changes are being carried out by people loyal to the communist party, but they are not paid for by the government and they are not all based in china, either. and in contrast tojohn in hong kong, there are others continuing their work editing wikipedia articles both in english and in chinese, but i...

There were allegations that these men both had triad connections but were also in cooperation with the police, ultimately backed by beijing. but on the chinese wikipedia page of the incident, the second of these pictures was removed and then two days later, well over 100 further edits was made to the page. changes were being thrown back and forth between words such as �*rural factions�* to �*terrorists�* or �*conflict�* replacing �*terror attack�*. but worst still, the edit wars seem to have taken a nasty term — there are reports of threats being made to editors who are contr...

Hmm. but over the last couple of years, we've uncovered evidence that some of wikipedia's articles are being changed to present a particular country in a more positive light — and that's china. you remember what carl millerfound when we sent him to taiwan? yes — articles about taiwan's independence were being edited to swing more in line with china's view. although carl did point out that these views are not lies — after all, who is wikipedia to override the opinions of many people in the most populous country in the world? well, now, a click investigation has found evidence that wikiped...

Editors were ganging up to undo my edits. when i took my concerns to a higher level in wikipedia, the pro—beijing editors tried to use their numbers to crowd me out, so my voice did not get heard. we put all of this to wikimedia, the foundation responsible for wikipedia, to ask just how long they think the largest encyclopaedia can survive when it�*s become a battleground. we come at it from a very, very hardcore ideological perspective about neutrality, about freedom of expression, about quality, and we�*ll stick to that, and we�*ll stick to that no matter what. wikipedia�*s global....
