Donation and Deletion: Is Wikipedia Crowd-Funded or Funded by the Superrich?

Posted on 16th September, 2024 (GMT 16:45 hrs)

ABSTRACT

The article questions Wikipedia’s claim of being crowd-funded, suggesting that the platform is influenced by wealthy individuals and corporations. It shares instances of content deletions, such as references to academic topics and controversies involving business tycoon Ajay Piramal, alleging that Wikipedia may be censoring or manipulating information. The post calls for Wikipedia to stay true to its mission of objective, evidence-based content without being swayed by powerful entities.

__________________________________________________________

Dear Wikipedia Team,
We have noticed that you are constantly demanding crowd-funding to sustain your existence:​

No doubt, it is a laudable effort as a whole. However, one of our members, a professor, always insists that his students refrain from using Wikipedia entries as citations in their research papers. He also said that many of his academically verified references (e.g., on Marx’s Scorpion and Felix, on Satinath Bhaduri, on Post-Structuralism etc.) were mercilessly removed from the said pages without an explanation. Moreover, when another member of ours tried to put the “Controversies” (substantiated with empirical evidence and media-reports) of Mr. Ajay Piramal (an Indian Crony Business-tycoon) on the said person’s Wiki-pages, the entries were removed similarly. From this instance, we entail that you are already funded by such superrich agencies that manipulate evidence-based information to hide their true faces of deceit.For More Details, View: 

The following relevant information on Mr. Piramal finds no mention whatsoever on any of the Wiki-pages associated with him: 

1. Mr. Ajay Piramal is an alleged insider trader (2016);

2. He is an environmental-terrorist in the negative connotation (for polluting Digwal, Telangana in 2019) and also who sought “blanket stay order” at the National Green Tribunal, which was rejected. In the case of the DHFL also, he wanted such a similar stay order on the “controversial” NCLAT second verdict (27/01/2022);

3. He was involved in Flashnet Scam, 2018 (though Mr. Piramal was ready to defame The Wire, who first exposed the scam, for reporting the same, but till date: no such step has been taken by him); 

4. He is possibly involved in contempt of court during the DHFL resolution process by ignoring NCLT’s first verdict (19/05/2021) and skipping the points raised by the NCLAT second order (27/01/2022). Moreover, he bought the 45k worth of assets of DHFL by paying only a rupee, a move that was criticized by the 63 Moons Technologies.

Hope that Wikipedia shall stay true to the pursuit of evidential justification without falling for crony manufacturing of consent and without being value-judgmental.

Best,
