If history starts getting deleted from wikipedia because it's inconvenient to liberals THAT is the quickest way to kill wikipedia as a reliable and "unbiased" source in the eyes of everyone.

I could not have come up with a better way to kill wiki than they have come up with themselves.

If you haven't read this article, I highly recommend. Wikipedia has severe issues regarding reliability.

"in the eyes of everyone" was the operative phrase. Awoo definitely knows some NATOpedia lore, like most people on this site do.

yeah i assumed she likely knew about it. I probably could've phrased it better. I comment as much for the lurkers as for the people I'm responding to.

History is already frequently deleted from Wikipedia because it's inconvenient to liberals.
