Could you give us an example of your pattern in action? Could you do what you just described, and share with us an example that is explicit to the point you are making, and even better...related to Matt Kim? You seem to have insights worth sharing.....and that would be good. Peace.😇

Sure, say we go to the 911 article. While the source isn't good, removing the last remaining mention of asbestos is interesting enough to find an editor. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=September_11_attacks&diff=prev&oldid=1364806341](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=September_11_attacks&diff=prev&oldid=1364806341) We click on "contribs". They have ten thousand! Could look at their mainspace edits, but with so many contribs lets look at their "filter log" . In 2022 they template this [Protection\_of\_Children\_from\_Sexual\_Offences\_Act,\_2012&diff=prev&oldid=1319031021](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Protection_of_Children_from_Sexual_Offences_Act,_2012&diff=prev&oldid=1319031021) Not a very dubious edit, they even added a source but lets look at the dubious edit history. We look at the article edit history and find this fascinating deletion. [Protection\_of\_Children\_from\_Sexual\_Offences\_Act,\_2012&diff=prev&oldid=1319031021](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Protection_of_Children_from_Sexual_Offences_Act,_2012&diff=prev&oldid=1319031021) The article now no longer mentions slavery nor trafficking. Facinating! This editor has few edits and he also wrote [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhay_(police_officer)) entire article about a person without mentioning their first name. Clear signs this isn't a seasoned wiki warrior. **Now one has to go back and find a different branch of *"things we are not suppose to know"*** One could also look further, there is a whole article about the topic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_trafficking_in_India Oh, it's a pile of sadness. The numbers are all over the place. *[Child\_trafficking\_in\_India#Figures\_in\_India](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_trafficking_in_India#Figures_in_India)* Most important part missing is the risk to be downgraded to a tier 3 country for not doing enough*.* They apparently think scrubbing wikipedia should be part of the effort? *Tier 3: The lowest rating, similar to a failing grade. Countries designated as Tier 3 fail to meet the TVPA’s minimum standards – and are also not making significant efforts to do so. At the discretion of the U.S. president, Tier 3 countries may be restricted from access to non-humanitarian, non-trade-related foreign assistance funding and participation in educational and cultural exchange programs. The president also has the power to instruct the U.S. representatives to the International Monetary Fund and other multilateral development banks to vote against and work to limit a Tier 3 country’s access to loans and other multilateral funds.* Makes you wonder why they never talk about this on CNN!

Thank you for this. Not altogether too sure how Wiki works.....or how the editors or editing is scrutinized or not. So your insights on this are greatly appreciated. I do a fair bit of research, and often question the veracity of the claims and the source material itself. In so far as Wiki is concerned, it seem to be up there with Reddit ....which I have never used, but now see it is being used as a source for Google....something like that. Your insights take skills....skills that most of us are not exposed to on a daily basis....or maybe even ever. It would be great if someone, definitely not my skill set, would do a search on all the information we could get on this site, about the owners and the interim council and how all that was supposed to work. For the most part, all we got was silence.....still....silence. Then we could at least get a glimpse of where, if anywhere, this site is headed. Perhaps my optimism has been misplaced......though still not easy to discern. My optimism may be ignorance....and complete ignorance parading as optimism? Seems likely at times....especially when we have Neo running around here like a chimp on meth. And here we are. Peace.😇
