zg7666 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I guess we are in 2. place ...Taha Yasseri at the University of Oxford in the UK and his team of researchers have ranked the most controversial topics in 10 different languages according to the intensity of the editing wars they generate. The result is a fascinating insight into the way conflicts emerge in different languages and how they are resolved. Yasseri and his fellow researchers also reveal the controversies that are common across language groups and how they vary around the world. Their work generated a simple list of the most controversial articles in each language. In English, the top 10 most controversial articles are: George W. Bush Anarchism Muhammad List of WWE personnel Global warming Circumcision United States Jesus Race and intelligence Christianity http://mashable.com/2013/07/17/most-controversial-wikipedia-topics/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link
Pepin Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 George Bush and Obama's exacerbation of his policies reminds me a lot of the relation of Hoover and FDR. Tangents aside, I feel like I am part of the group that understands the earth is round before it was widely accepted. Though I find it more likely the the communistic anarchism is what people are most interested in, which I really fail to understand. Communism and socialism in general have just always just been arguments that I have a difficult time grasping. I feel like I can do a decent job making the case for it, but I really don't understand it. Since that is a secant, I shall stop.

weeb Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 "according to the intensity of the editing wars they generate" This means the number of times Winston at the ministry of truth (1984, Orwell) has to log in and change the wiki page with government double speak. Truth is always at war with illusion.
