Why does KJK let her Wikipedia page stand with such bias?

DD asked me about the Let Women Speak events and specifically about Kellie-Jay Keen. I said that I'd happily take her to a LWS event but she said she couldn't possibly go because KJK is such a transphobe, neo-Nazi, Trump supporter, Pro-Lifer etc. I obviously countered that but then she started quoting from her Wiki page. I again said let's go to a LWS event so she can see for herself, or even possibly speak to her herself but she wasnt having it.

Anyway, I've just looked at KJKs Wiki page and its atrocious. Totally one-sided. Is it not possible to get lies about you removed, or balance added (not au fait with Wiki editing), or is KJK not fussed?

And what is a good I.e. balanced source of a biography about her?

Can you imagine if KJK spent her days in a circular Wikipedia battle with genderist keyboard warriors instead of doing the work she does?

There are only so many hours in the day!

Why would you bother trying to correct it? The socially inept basement dwellers that edit it would be overcome with excitement if she did that.

Yuk.

Show your daughter the actual SFW webpage. Wikipedia is captured.

KJK’s Wikipedia page has been locked for editing. If you look in the top right corner you’ll see the edit button that looks like a pencil and it has a padlock over it to indicate only established, registered users can edit it. If you look on the talk page you can see edits are regularly reversed.

Wikipedia, like Reddit, is captured by trans activists. Here’s a good article by Debbie Hayton about it: https://unherd.com/thepost/on-wikipedia-trans-activists-are-always-editing/

On Wikipedia, trans activists are always editing

Wikipedia is the world’s largest reference website. It would like us to think that it is “helping to create a world in which everyone can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.” But while anyone can edit Wikipedia pages, the number of active contrib...

Aah I see you are new to all this.

They write stuff then cite each other which then gets called 'peer reviewed' and ends up being cited as established fact. See The Grievance Studies affair...go tell your daughter to have a look at what point they were trying to prove.

Just because someone said it doesn't mean it is true.

They do not mess with JK Rowling

They know she has the money to sue

I did say that she should always consider the source/context and that Wikipedia is not an actual encyclopedia. She is absolutely old enough to be aware of this. I was just shocked at how biased that pag is. And editing-wise, it looks like I would have to provide a source to prove something is not true/did not happen. And it's quite tricky to provide sources for something that did not happen. It's like someone accusing me of saying the moon is pink with purple spots. I cant disprove it with a source so if it was on wikipedia about me, I couldn't have it taken down.

One of the problems is that many so-called "reliable sources" that Wikipedia editors rely on are not at all reliable when it comes to KJK and gender identity ideology.

As others have said, Wikipedia is edited by anyone and by self appointed moderators. Her page is controversial and I am quite sure it is monitored by those who hate KJK who will reverse and edit any moderating content.

I doubt KJK gives a shit. It would be a waste of her time to constantly fight to remove the outrageous content. Your DD needs a quick lesson in the reliability of sources and on how to make her own mind up rather than rely on other people's opinions.

Anyone can edit Wikipedia, it's the whole point of it. No schools/universities will allow Wiki pages to be cited as a source.

I thought it was fairly common knowledge that Wikipedia isn't a good source for information?
I remember being told in (I think?) Year 6 when I'd used Wikipedia, not to. That it could easily be changed or edited without any real "vetting".
How old is your DD? Is her school telling her Wikipedia is to be trusted fully? Why no looking at other sources? Or interest in doing so?
