Adapt or Die

Wikipedia's Policies and Guidelines Must Adapt From the Information Age to the Mis/Dis/Malinformation Age

I frequently apply WP:IGNORE, and encourage all editors to do so, because foolish rules written by lame nerds make Wikipedia a worse encyclopedia.

Especially when enforced by random ignorant persons with overinflated egos who happen to have fancy-sounding, meaningless, irrelevant titles or super-scary powers and influence (such as admins or 20-year editors with over 9000 edits and the Hero of Wikipedia medal on display in both their userpage and bedroom) on a website that thinks it's the ultimate bastion of the current sum of verifiable human knowledge with absolutely no bias whatsoever and actively denies the fact that Wikipedia is indeed a battleground, official policy being that it is only a Special Verifiability Operation (SVO).

There is no such thing as true neutrality - all edits from all users are biased - and no source of information is infallible. Many perspectives, however, can combine to shine a light on all angles of a topic, for all to see it more clearly.

Focus on facts when editing Wikipedia, rather than using an endless list of policies and guidelines like they're Skyrim dragon shouts.

See the Fifth and First Pillars of Wikipedia for more information on this policy opinion. Repeal WP:NOTTRUTH in full, and let a phoenix of truth rise from its ashes!
