Since Bill Ackman and his followers have so many questions about how Wikipedia works now that his wife has been accused of plagiarizing from it, I figured I'd help him out.

@stinerman @molly0xfff it’s almost like they don’t know what copyright even *is*
It’s baffling

Thank you. This is very good. I've taught Wikipedia as a subject previously and could so have used this video as a good source. When and if I teach it again, I will. 1/
@molly0xfff I didn't mean to imply that you didn't cover the point. I just would have liked it said clearly and distinctly, so the BS artists can't dodge it.
What am I saying? They can dodge anything!
Bill Ackmam wants folks to know that targeted harassment campaigns can be purchased by the rich to turf anyone, absolutely anyone, out of their job.
It's a feature of the anti-democracy movement he has joined.
The knowledge that resistance is futile has been underlined with every dean, scientist, academic, and public official.
his questions are comic gold
"how can I refute a charge of breaking and entering when I'm just leaving to go to work?”
Great explainer Molly! As a long-time contributor to @wikipedia and #Wikimedia Commons myself, willful ignorance about these projects annoys me to no end as well.
@molly0xfff Absolutely glorious, and it reminded me of one of my favorite bugs I ever reported. I caught devs copying from Wikipedia verbatim without attribution for the “Man vs. Wild with Bear Grylls” video game.
They got pissy and refused to change it until I rewrote the text for them.
The worst part? I caught them because they were retyping instead of copy-pasting. There were SO. MANY. TYPOS, I had to go search what they were talking about to fix it and that’s how I found out.
Typical Republican, plagiarism for me but not for thee...
@molly0xfff not a big fan of the #Wikipedia, at all, or at least not the #HebrewWikipedia, which I used to edit. When it comes to the Israel-Palestine conflict, it's a 100% written by settlers trained in Naftali Benet's (ex PM) Zionist editing boot camps, started more than a decade ago.
Quickly skimming through Oxman's entry, I'm missing references to her counterpart, rival, inspiration: Iraqi-British Zaha Hadid (زها حديد) .... not a single reference as far as I can tell.
@molly0xfff
Whoa Bill Ackman walked into a gunfight with a pocket knife. I'd say Molly White handed him his ass! 🤔 😜
By the way only a small percentage of users actually support Wikipedia. I happen to be one of them. Wikipedia is a fabulous resource that many of us find indispensable.
So all you users lets get those wallets out and pony up the cash. If we all sent them $25.00 a year they would be flush and would not have to beg for support on their web sight. If you use it help pay for it !
