Can we get @Glinner's Wikipedia entry corrected?

It says he is a 'vocal critic of transgender rights'

How do we correct this to 'a vocal supporter of women & girls', children's, LGB and autistic people's rights?

Apparently Baroness Nicholson’s has been similarly defaced if anyone is able to look at that too.

It's clearly very biased. It should carry a bias warning. Can we report it?

MoltoAgitato · 28/06/2020 08:14

Someone has already cleaned it up. Look on the edits tab - someone’s change log is “removed defamatory content”

It's easy to edit a wikipedia article. I've both created and edited some. But it is outing so I can't do this one. With controversial topics though it can end up as a game of whackamole.

Anyone can become a Wiki editor. I became one many years ago and added a couple of articles. I don't know if the rules have changed but I didn't have to go through any kind of evaluation at the time.

Does anyone else think that there has been an escalation since JKR? Or is it just because I've become more active recently about challenging institutional capture so I'm noticing it more?

I think you are just noticing it more.
I think the door is open and little chinks of daylight are coming in.

Yes, this. Martin McGuinness's entry was legendary for the number of edits.

Suspect even if you edit it, it will be immediately changed back until his detractors get bored and find another target. But give it a go anyway

I thought it was LOJ's favourite hobby

They have restrictions on many living-people biographies at the moment though, including Glinner and JKR.

If you look at the talk page for Graham's article, you will see that there are already several editors fighting to remove the anti-trans narrative. So it will eventually change, I thing. Believe me, there are some sensible Wiki editors out there.
