  It’s still mildly infuriating.

    You seem pretty knowledgeable on the subject, go ahead and edit it! Seriously. I mean that with zero snark.

    Someone without your skillset is going to read that section and not know any better. Just delete it and explain why. I’ve made hundreds of edits over the years and I’ve never even made an account.

    My encouragement here is real. We rely on each other’s expertise. People like me who know nothing of the Gemini protocol need people like you to keep this page accurate.

    Now for a tiny bit of playful snark: I am mildly infuriated that you noticed this yesterday and still haven’t changed it. Do it! Be the change you wish to see!

      The whole Reception section is gone now. Looks like somebody was faster.

        Couldn’t have been me :)

        But still. I encourage you to make those edits in the future. Sometimes writers are wrong, sometimes they’re pushing an agenda. I’m inclined to think whoever added that section did so maliciously and since it’s not a popular article, no one noticed. Wikipedia thrives in part because of people like us!

      Wikipedia’s edit process isn’t so cut and dry. Usually it’s not what you know it’s how you source it. Even then the edit debates can rage.

        For something like this it definitely is
