    Someone convinced me to give Trump 100 days. I took a breath and agreed to try. Day 1, #alternativefacts, and I am done. Game on.

        @ZakOrth ? I've been opposed to Trump all along. I took a break for a day. :)

        @jimmy_wales will you please add every stupid thing he has ever said to his Wiki page

        @b_rit No, for a number of reasons, not least of which that we try to keep things to a readable size! ;-)

        @jimmy_wales When people said Wikipedia was slanted, with a left-wing bias, I scoffed. Defended. Donated. No longer. And I don't like Trump.

        @vbspurs is it left wing bias to think blatant lying is wrong?

        @jimmy_wales From what I read, you're not left-wing. You're a Libertarian. Forgive me if that's wrong, though; I read it on Wikipedia.

        @jimmy_wales Wasn’t an early criticism of Wikipedia that it provided false information?

        @mdornfeld Of course people said that but we have always had a passionate commitment to quality from day one.

        @jimmy_wales @mdornfeld Wikipedia, & Science itself, corrects itself over time. Alt-facts are clung to as Truth and resist correction.

        @jimmy_wales @realDonaldTrump @voatco You should step down from Wikipedia, your partisanship hinders adhering to neutral point of view.

        @TorMnkov You may not understand how Wikipedia works.

        @jimmy_wales So you intend it to have a curated POV then? Jimmy Wales CEO of wikipedia is covering up pizza gate? https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1454872 …

        @jimmy_wales Surely it won't be long before it's a Trump v Press battle that breaks him?

        @Quilo @jimmy_wales I don't believe it'll be the press that breaks him but a whistle blower that'll leak documents that'll take him down.

        @LValoisXI it'll be a complete business conflict. But it'll be the stupid one like 250k instead of the 125m one.
