PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayI hadn't been following the outrage about Wikipedia editors targeting certain UFO related pages until a couple of days ago when I saw that a couple of incredibly well known writers (Jenny Randles, Raymond E. Fowler) had their pages nominated for deletion.
Then when I looked into it there's a single editor, named Chetsford, who's been nominating what looks like any page related to UFOs: Harley Rutledge, Georgina Bruni, Karl Svozil, John Greenwald Jr. and others.
While some pages are badly written or have not been updated in years and need better sources it's difficult to not conclude that there is a campaign to deemphasize anything ufology related.
This is silly. As a skeptical researcher it's important we can turn to a well sourced page for the people in ufology or the paranormal so that we can connect the dots between who they are and what their claims are. For example it seemed necessary to me that Brandon Fugel have a page, simply because he owns Skinwalker Ranch, and has publicly made some incredible claims about what goes on there. Having a page where we can see who he is, what is background is, how his ownership of SWR is proceeds from Robert Bigelow's, what his political / faith is, etc, all seems to be the purpose of Wikipedia to have all the information in one place.
So, by the same logic having pages for noted ufologists and writers about the paranormal seems necessary.
You can see whatever the current list of articles nominated for deletion by going to wikipedia and searching Category:Articles for deletion. Many seem to deserve it because they are poorly sourced - but amongst them are numerous UFO adjacent people who we should know about.
Interesting point on this. A lot of the pages being deleted are people the average "debunker" audience type likely wouldn't know. There is of course about equal chance it's just keyword hitting, but they could actually be doing this on behalf of behalf of the "believer" crowd to make it look like a "debunker" or some secret cabal agent is doing it - wouldn't be the first time. Interesting also the "believer" types identified this pretty much as it was happening. No doubt some sit and watch wikipedia edits so that alone isn't a tell but the full sequence is interesting.
On "Chetsford" also, it's funny watching people get got by that on twitter. If we toy with the theory they are doing something more malign, it is entirely worth noting that they have actually been in snafus before over editing in disinformation about American politicians, and also enabling anti-semitism and anti-jewish conspiracy theories. If that hypothesis tracks, they're definitely not some spooky American intelligence agent. If anything close to that even, they'd far more likely be acting on behalf of a foreign interest.
