Wikipedia locks page on 'recession' after pro-Biden users make 41 edits to REDEFINE word
In a span of one week, unregistered users of Wikipedia edited the definition of ‘recession’ 41 times which led to the administrator locking the page on Thursday, July 28. The edits took place amid the reports of the US economy shrinking for the second straight quarter.
“A Wikipedia administrator has placed a pause on edits to Wikipedia’s ‘Recession’ page by unregistered users until early August to stop ‘vandalism’ and ‘malicious’ content after the page was edited 41 times in the past seven days with repeated attempts to alter the historical definition of a recession,” The Daily Wire reports. The changes happened after gross domestic product fell at a 0.9 percent annualized rate after a 1.6 percent decline in the first three months of the year in the US economy, as per The Guardian. Author Ann Bauer shared a screenshot on Twitter showing the edits. She wrote, “Here is the revision history from roughly the past 24 hours on Wikipedia's RECESSION page.”
