Okay, who changed John Ternus' Wikipedia page to "John Apple"?

[simonzerafa@infosec.exchange]

@janbeta

We need to have a page for John Mastodon also

[drretro@chaos.social]

@janbeta Tried to reproduce it on my side. Seems fine?

[janbeta@chaos.social]

@DrRetro Currently shows the correct article for me but with a picture of Adolf Hitler. Somebody is messing around with it just now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ternus

[janbeta@chaos.social]

@DrRetro Back to normal now.

[drretro@chaos.social]

@janbeta Yeah, even when i opened now a second time the link you've sent me there was just a picture of the real John Ternus. No Hitler picture.
Wiki Authoring wars, i guess?

[janbeta@chaos.social]

@DrRetro I guess so. Not sure how those things could be approved in the first place but I swear they were online for a brief moment. Just when I tried to read up on the guy.

[phako@chaos.social]

@janbeta @DrRetro They were there, I just checked the edit history

[drretro@chaos.social]

@phako @janbeta I'd like to make one thing clear: I'm not trying to deny that that wasn't the case, but it's amazing how fast they're working behind the scenes. And also: What kind of idiots are messing around with that? It's childish, in my opinion....

[ozzelot@mstdn.social]

@janbeta
If I was participating in such things, I would rename the page to John Turdus merula and add a pic of a blackbird. Luckily, I do not.

@DrRetro @phako Yeah, childish puts it mildly. Wikipedia should be one of the more reliable sources we have these days, this stuff isn’t very reassuring in that regard.

@janbeta lol this has gone much further than I had imagined
