I'm grateful to Elon Musk for Grokipedia as I am pessimistic that Wikipedia can be fixed despite your good efforts. If it can't be brought back to at least a semblance of neutrality let Wikipedia become the Bud Light of encyclopedias.

" The editors pushing these don’t face a torrent of challenges by other editors."

The reality of the internet is anywhere you allow troons to be integral to a site they will invariable come to dominate it. Go to Reddit or Wikipedia and type the words "transwomen are not biological women" and you will be hard banned from the site. Both of these sites have, in large part, been captured either by troons or their allies.

"One editor created the entry List of works depicting Jesus as LGBT and wrote it almost in its entirety. "

That user would be Tamzin, the transgender female Jewish polycule enjoyer AND admin.

We are past the point of salvaging Wikipedia and the monsters who have assumed control over it are so firmly established nothing can be done to remove them. I think Wales understands this but he's been an absentee landlord for too long and has no meaningful control or even influence over the project.

I have contributed substantially to a number of non-political, non-controversial articles on Wikipedia. It infuriates me how some topics have gotten hijacked. I'd love to push back, but I have a life; many of the true believer progressive/transgressive editors are willing and able to spend hours a day on Wikipedia, and I can't compete with that.

That is just completely insane! Thank you for your continued efforts to bring much needed attention to this disgraceful and disgusting situation. A truly unbiased competitor, like Grokipedia aspires to be, is long, long overdue.
