I mentioned a couple of months back that I had been banned from editing @Wikipedia. That ban expired back in March.
It was IMMEDIATELY renewed by ANOTHER Wikipedia editor. Handle: Berean Hunter.

I...have no idea who that is. Soooooooooo, I went to have a looksie at their public editor& #39;s profile.
This was it. And um. That is a Celtic Cross, y& #39;all.

For those who aren& #39;t familiar: the Celtic Cross - which is beautiful, and used to be divorced from sinister intent - is a popular White supremacist symbol. You usually see this one, but as THAT symbol has become more recognizable, lotsa closet Nazis have adopted other versions.
The traditional Greek cross has also experienced White supremacist appropriation in the last decade. Here& #39;s a good summary: https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/celtic-cross">https://www.adl.org/education...
I& #39;m now demanding that @Wikipedia increase operational transparency. They have a data integrity problem, and it will continue to rot them from within if action isn& #39;t taken to stop it.
Also, I used to donate to @Wikipedia. They don& #39;t get another goddamn dime from me until they fix this.
Looking forward to reading about the (White, male) journalist who "bravely exposes" all this and gets a Pulitzer.
