People, let’s dowload the entirery of the thing while it still has some degree of credibility.
…
This has always been happening, and will continue to happen
It was a single rogue editor, someone noticed and reported it, and now all their changes have been undone.
It is a credit to humanity that the internet archive & wikipedia are funded by donations.
eg: the oldest page for Estonia I could find
Pro-Russian Narratives Target Wikipedia, Marking A Dangerous Trend for AI Chatbot Data
Okay and where is the proof for this in the article?
The only thing that’s mentioned is that someone bulk corrected the birthplace country of some Estonian people to the Soviet Republic that existed at that time.
Where is the AI?
Where is the Pro Russian narrative???
Was this article generated by AI?
Annnnnd that’s why I downloaded a snapshot of Wikipedia a few months ago and host it locally.
Sad that it’s necessary, but with modern AI tooling, we have everything we need to destroy knowledge on an industrial scale.
How do you selfhost Wikipedia? Any good guides in how to do it?
Wikipedia has guides for it; Check the downloading wikipedia section. The most popular offline client atm is Kiwix reader
As soon as you leave English language wikipedia this happens fairly often. Not necessarily Russian, maybe adjacent. And not since yesterday! I noticed around Corona, and it’s been a problem for way longer. It’s relatively easy for 1 editor to slip through unnoticed if there isn’t enough eyeballs on the article, and hey they can write what their overlords tell them unchallenged.
“that some believe may be part of a Russian influence operation”
Jeebus a bunch of drivel propaganda.. The whole site is the same kind of nonsense fantasy. They just jump along on the dumdum official propaganda narrative about the baad baad Russia.. Incredible that people still haven’t figured out that they were conned - played - by US/western elites.
Oh well, fortunately Russia will survive Nato’s proxy war against them, and they’ll survive primitive propaganda as this ‘article’.
