@corbden @accretionist @paul @wikipedia Groups of every conceivable brand of bad politics have been attempting this for 20+ years. It has survived the ill-will of various governments, corporations, and other vandals thanks to the resilience of a global volunteer community that indeed does not take it for granted. Wikipedia abides.

I agree with that, and was editing Wikipedia in 2005 so I get it, however:

1. I’ve been online a long time and seen things go away that I never thought possible to destroy or decay.

2. There are tools now available to vandals that have never been available before. I read one thing a few weeks ago by a seasoned wikipedian about seeing floods of automated LLM edits to talk pages on controversial articles that was beginning to tax their ability to manage.

LLM edits seem to be a new form of spam. "cognitive spam." it's a matter of adopting to the new spam with countermeasures. a constant arms race
