So, is fun, but depending on the language you can see the bias or what some people try to impose or want to hide.

Today's example: Gamazada. During this Basque revolt in 1893, the Spanish civil guard killed 6 people.

The Basque Wikipedia (eu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamazada) mentions that 6 (Basque) people were killed and a number of other civilians were injuried.

Neither the Spanish (es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamazada) nor the English (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamazada) one say anything about the people killed.

Our experience is that #wikipedia is an indictment on the #legacyInternet. It permits abuse, with omission and lies (re #Australian politics).

We see Wikipedia (incl. #WikiMedia) as a #politicalWeapon, also by how they shifted goalposts to prevent a more socially acceptable FediverseIcon being made available (2021-present).

Wikipedia can be 'fun' as you express, but it ought never be used for anything but scant curiosity. It's ultimately a dangerously #authoritarian construct.
