Hate the News? Wikipedia's Co-Founder Wants You to Edit It

Huh. So I can kind of see how this would be a fascinating experiment. I'd say brigading could be an issue, but they managed to deal with the debacle over the Gamergate Wikipedia page back in 14 so who knows.
Yea I'm not really sure where this will go and how its going to get there, but Wikipedia has been mostly successful, so I have high hopes for good things :)
Like Grasswire?
Never heard of it??
