Desi People Telling The Founder Of Wikipedia How Wikipedia Works & We Wish We Had That Confidence – MensXP.com

Welcome to Twitter, where everyone thinks they're an expert at literally everything and will give you second-hand embarrassment while trying to prove their pointless points. A beautiful Twitter exchange like that happened yesterday when a few desi people tried to argue about how Wikipedia works, with, wait for it, the founder of Wikipedia. It all started with some questioning why a Wikipedia page was deleted and I mean asking questions are fine but the entire bribing narrative? Oof.

Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, decided to resolve the matter but that would be in vain.

The argument continued with Jimmy again telling how it works on HIS site.

He's not even talking about religion, he's talking about how Wikipedia works and well, I would think that he's somewhat of an expert on it.

The man is just trying to tell them the quality of whatever is written on different pages matters and they're still not listening.

He's still trying to politely diffuse the situation and is even open to a discussion. Reliable sources are required by people; it's not that hard of a concept to grasp.

Just to fill the gaps since the tweet Jimmy is replying to below has been deleted but the person basically said that almost every article on Wikipedia doesn't have sources. Yep, people are that thick.

One would think it can't get worse than this, but just wait for it. Someone thought this was actually a valid argument to put forward.

Twitter

I can feel his frustration through the screen.

Same.

The quality content we need.

I would personally like to say thank you to everyone involved, this was way too hilarious.
