UNBAN WIKIPEDIA FROM THE LIGHTSPEED FILTERING SYSTEM


UNBAN WIKIPEDIA FROM THE LIGHTSPEED FILTERING SYSTEM
The Issue
Whenever I need information on a topic or issue, I almost always go on Wikipedia to find general information so I can feel knowledgeable on the topic or to know what to search on google for more scholarly and credible websites. This ban is extremely annoying because Wikipedia is the source that Google uses THE MOST. Take this scenario, you want to know more about a topic so you search it up but google's examples and description so you go to the Google panel and click the link to the Wikipedia article about the topic BUT you get it with some stupid looking page saying "Oops, en.wikipedia.org is not available because it is categorized as forums.blogs." Even though Wikpedia specifically says that "Wikipedia is neither a forum, nor a blog, nor a social networking site. We are here to produce an encyclopedia, which has meanwhile become the seventh most important website in the world." So why is it classified as that? Is it because a student can somehow join the inner circle of editors and admins on the talk page while somehow not having an account? NOT LIKELY because it's literally impossible, you have to have an account to talk!
Wikipedia should not be banned
- Wikipedia is the fifth most visited website in the world
- The most used source on Google
- Used by doctors, university professors
- Wikipedia is the starter point for getting information, you use it to get general information so you know what to search up
- Gives sources for their information
- Wikipedia's purpose is to benefit readers by containing information on all branches of knowledge.
The best way to support this cause: Is to go to this link https://archive.lightspeedsystems.com/ and type "WIkipedia.org", then give your email and reasons for unbanning WIkipedia and there you go!
