wikipedia articles: hey this is pretty good!
wikipedia talk pages: what is wrong with you people

it's not actually any more painful than any wikipedia talk page, it's surprisingly okay for the genre really

remember: wikipedia rules exist to keep people like this from each others' throats, no other reason

I've just realised:

this reads just like a neoreactionary trying to be literary

e.g. the Dimes Square literary astroturf crowd

same problem as gen AI output: too much style, zero understanding of basic structure, you cannot get that fine detailed in structure and be that bad at the basics.

yeah, "Did you know" exists to encourage new articles, or major expansions of old ones. it cycles every six hours I think.
