i dunno, critical support in their protracted ai war against Natopedia i guess?
edit. fun fact, back when I was in school you werent allowed to use wikipedia as a source, because everyone knew it was filled with shit, just like it still is.
People didn’t allow you to use it as a source in school because those rules were made by people that just didn’t understand technology.
As for it now being filled with shit, that’s just ignorant. It’s not like they accept edits and publish them from anybody that submits one, they’re reviewed and stuff that is well known or not up for debate is as accurate as can be.
How does it differ from Encarta 98 which we used in school? Or any encyclopaedia?
It wasnt allowed to be used in school because everyone can edit, and thus the sources can be "It came to me in a dream."
All encyclopedias can be bad if you cannot recognize the bias that is inherit in everything that was made to contain knowledge. Natopedia is filled with liberal freaks sitting on their little pages like their personal fiefdoms they do not allow edits, no matter how western your source is, and use sources by historians widely disparaged or they leave things out to form a narrative that suits them.

Thus, she removed the nonsense. Please read the source that you are quoting.
